Happiness has been the most important goal for humans throughout history and is a significant issue among university lecturers facing a rapid digital technology change. It is usually described as a well-being state, feeling satisfied and contented, consisting of positive happenings in an individual's life concerning the social, spiritual, economic, psychological, and physiological spheres. This research examines the relationship between happiness, attitudes toward technology, and lecturers' job performance in higher education.
This research design was a cross-sectional design that asked the respondents from lecturers of Institut Teknologi Bandung, one of the best universities with technology-based education in Indonesia, to complete a group of well-validated questionnaires. The questionnaires mentioned earlier include the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire and three other newly constructed questionnaires, made to measure attitude toward digital technology, job satisfaction, and job performance.
This research confirmed that happiness fully mediated the relationship between attitude toward digital technology and job performance. Additionally, this research also confirmed that happiness partially mediated the relationship between job satisfaction and job performance. These results implied that a positive attitude toward digital technology and higher job satisfaction would lead to happier lecturers who increase their job performance.
This study suggests that a positive attitude toward technology has a higher impact than job satisfaction as determinant factors of happiness and its association with lecturers' job performance such as universities, especially Institut Teknologi Bandung as a technologically advanced workplace environment. Additionally, the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire framework, frequently used in studies of other countries, is now being used in the context of an Indonesian case study, precisely to measure happiness among lecturers in Indonesian higher education.
幸福一直是人类有史以来最重要的目标，也是面临快速数字技术变革的大学讲师们所面临的一个重要问题。它通常被描述为一种幸福状态，即感到满足和满意，由个人生活中在社会、精神、经济、心理和生理领域的积极事件组成。本研究考察了幸福、对技术的态度与高等教育中讲师工作绩效之间的关系。
本研究设计为横断面设计，要求印度尼西亚万隆理工学院（一所基于技术教育的顶尖大学）的讲师作为受访者完成一组经过充分验证的问卷。前面提到的问卷包括牛津幸福问卷和另外三份新构建的问卷，用于测量对数字技术的态度、工作满意度和工作绩效。
本研究证实，幸福完全中介了对数字技术的态度与工作绩效之间的关系。此外，本研究还证实，幸福部分中介了工作满意度与工作绩效之间的关系。这些结果表明，对数字技术的积极态度和更高的工作满意度会使讲师更幸福，从而提高他们的工作绩效。
本研究表明，作为幸福及其与讲师工作绩效关联的决定因素，对技术的积极态度比工作满意度具有更大的影响，对于大学尤其是万隆理工学院这样技术先进的工作场所环境而言。此外，其他国家研究中常用的牛津幸福问卷框架，现在正用于印度尼西亚案例研究的背景下，确切地说是为了测量印度尼西亚高等教育中讲师的幸福感。
