Happiness Management With in Communication Skills Development and Satisfaction in the Classroom

Abstract

Managing happiness is a vital pillar that complements students' academic curricula. Therefore, this book chapter aims to describe the relationship between classroom satisfaction, communication skills acquisition, and happiness to enhance the overall happiness of the educational environment. Partial least squares structural equation modelling was employed to validate two hypotheses in our measurement model. They are related to the positive effect of satisfaction and the acquisition of communication skills for happiness. Both relationships are significant, in which happiness is explained more by satisfaction than communication skills. The effect of the specific dimensions of the variables under study is also described. Additionally, we must highlight that females are generally perceived greater rewards and more effectively designed lessons than males. In particular, some groups of students, such as German and Lithuanians, showed lower motivation levels and perceived fewer rewards and less engaging lessons.
