AB In this paper, we aim to propose formulas based on indicators to develop the transcendenthappiness of employees in the tourism industry. Specifically, three factors are proposed asdeterminants of transcendence happiness (THP): corporate culture (CO), internal communication (IC), and employee-centered personnel management (EPM). To this end, a modelproposes to help guide employees in the tourism industry toward happiness. From a sampleof 443 employees in tourist accommodations in Spain, we explore the feasibility of an SEMPLS model based on already validated scales. Our results show, on the one hand, the criticalrole of organisational culture in the pursuit of employee happiness and, on the other hand, themediating effect of internal communication between personnel management and transcendent happiness. This ground-breaking study fills two gaps in the current happiness management literature. The first is considering transcendent happiness as an innovative key tocorporate governance. It requires a corporate culture that fosters all human capital’s personalgrowth and work-related well-being. In addition, secondly, to demonstrate that the variablesof internal communication and passion at work positively influence the transcendentalhappiness of internal customers in rural establishments. Between internal communicationand personnel management based on the employee’s growth, the organisational culture hasthe most significant impact not only on personnel management but also on the achievementof the happiness of private employees. To this end, rural accommodations should designorganisational patterns based on codes of conduct in the social relations between employeesand managers
