AB Current scientific studies on corporate governance in the fine dining industry must consider the attractive cultureof happiness management. A business management model that aims to cement the corporate happiness of all themembers of its organisation. Undoubtedly, a vital intangible resource to offer a service of excellence and qualityto customers. As is well known, this is an aspect of particular relevance for haute cuisine restaurants. From thisperspective, this paper arises from recent happiness management research that points to the need for a happyleadership style to actively reduce the psychological stress and physical exhaustion that chefs suffer daily in thekitchen. Inspired by the achievement of this goal, and therefore their happiness at work, this research conductsan exploratory study on how the dimensions: of organisational support, intraentrepreneurship and organisationaljustice empirically associate with the variable happiness at work. To this end, a structural equation model will becarried out based on the 136 surveys carried out on trainees at the Basque Culinary during the 2022–2023 academic years. The empirical results of this work show that the constructs of organisational support and organisational justice positively influence the happiness at work parameter. The same is not valid for theintrapreneurship factor. On the one hand, these findings can be exciting to demonstrate the complexity ofgenerating a climate of subjective well-being within haute cuisine restaurants. Moreover, on the other hand, itshows that chefs are a source of culinary innovation and creativity when they carry out their professional activities in a positive and happy environment.
