One of the goals of happiness research is to identify the key factors that influence it. Therefore, the present research is designed to examine the determining factors of subjective wellbeing (SWB) in Pakistan. The present research is conducted by collecting the data of 1,566 households in Punjab, Pakistan, using the ordered logit and tobit model. The findings of this research confirm that income, education, government effectiveness, no perceived corruption, and perceived institutional quality improve wellbeing, while lower trust in family and friends, poor health status, living on rent, and dissatisfaction with the services of hospitals lower the level of wellbeing. But individuals with more social ties, who face barriers in health services, live more happily satisfied with their lives. Crime victimization and worrisome terrorism also lower the level of SWB. Findings of research strongly emphasize policymakers and government institutions to improve their quality and take essential measures for improving the governance structure.
幸福研究的目标之一是确定影响幸福的关键因素。因此，本研究旨在探讨巴基斯坦主观幸福感（SWB）的决定因素。本研究通过使用有序logit模型和托比特模型收集巴基斯坦旁遮普省1566户家庭的数据来进行。本研究的结果证实，收入、教育、政府效能、无感知腐败和感知到的制度质量能提升幸福感，而对家人和朋友的信任度较低、健康状况不佳、租房居住以及对医院服务不满意则会降低幸福感水平。但是，社交关系较多且在医疗服务方面面临障碍的个人对自己的生活更满意、更幸福。成为犯罪受害者和令人担忧的恐怖主义也会降低主观幸福感水平。研究结果强烈强调政策制定者和政府机构要提高自身质量，并采取必要措施改善治理结构。
