Abstract

The present study aimed to know the happiness of government and private bank employees. It also aimed to check happiness concerning gender. The happiness Scale (HS–RHMJ) by Himanshi Rastogi and Janki Moorjani (2017) was used. The sample constituted a total of 120 bank employees out of which 60 were government employees (30 male and 30 female) and 60 from private employees (30 male and 30 female). The data was collected from Ahmedabad City. The data was scored, and analyzed as per the manual. ‘F’ test was being calculated. The result showed that the private bank employees group is having more happiness than the government bank employees group. There is no significant difference in the mean score of happiness among the male and female bank employees. There is no significant difference in the interactive effect of the mean scores of happiness with regards to the type of employees and gender.
