Title: Happy leadership, now more than ever
Abstract:
The Covid-19 crisis demonstrated the need for new leadership styles suited to times of economic uncertainty. Today, leadership in organisations is less humanistic and inspirational and more authoritarian. More management models should be promoted based on ethics, corporate happiness and social responsibility. This research reflects on the type of leadership suited to the new era. It explores the concept of happy leadership and analyses its characteristics. This construct combines the rational and emotional minds of those who lead. It seeks to exercise actions that help reduce stress, frustration, and fear, improving wellbeing to optimise work performance. Thinking, feeling and doing from a happiness management approach supports people's vision from an organisational and emotional perspective by developing aspects such as creativity, flexibility and sustainability. Happy leadership promotes new models of integral management through changes in corporate culture, helping to reconcile productive efficiency with business ethics, entrepreneurship, organisational justice and happiness at work.

Title: The effects of domain satisfaction on overall life satisfaction in Türkiye
Abstract:
The aim of this study is to examine the determinants of overall life satisfaction in Türkiye by using six different life domains (e.g., housing, financial standing, work conditions, the government's security policies, health, and marriage). In this way, it will be possible to drive a more efficient policy implications through domain satisfactions. Life Satisfaction Survey Micro Data Set of the Turkish Statistical Institute was used in the study during the period 2014-2017, and the determinants of overall life satisfaction are estimated simultaneously using the regressions created for the six domain satisfactions. The empirical findings of the study show that financial satisfaction and marriage satisfaction increase life satisfaction more than other domains in Türkiye.

Title: Trends and fluctuations in financial satisfaction and macroeconomic indicators in times of economic changes: the case of Latin America
Abstract:
The association between subjective well-being and macroeconomic conditions has been extensively studied across the social sciences, with most evidence stemming from US and Europe due to data constraints. Using time-series analysis, this paper explores trends (long-term tendencies) and fluctuations (short-term movements) of financial satisfaction and macroeconomic indicators in Latin America during a period of great economic changes. We show that between 1996 and 2015, the trend in financial satisfaction was significantly negatively associated with the trend in the unemployment rate but it was not associated with the trends in the log of gross domestic product per capita (GDP) or the inflation rate. In the short-term, financial satisfaction, the unemployment rate, the inflation rate, and the log of GDP per capita move together. This study demonstrates that unemployment is the key macroeconomic indicator to tackle long-term financial satisfaction and thus likely improve citizens' overall well-being.

Title: The relationship between leisure and entertainment cultural aesthetics and organisational identification: the role of healing effects
Abstract:
This study aimed to explore the relationship between organisational members' leisure and entertainment cultural aesthetics, healing effects, and organisational identification. The respondents were those with experience in organisational work and activities. A total of 361 valid questionnaires were collected. By factor analysis, leisure and entertainment cultural aesthetics are divided into two categories: expressive leisure and artistic leisure; healing effects are divided into the perception of happiness and positive healing; organisational identification is divided into only one main factor, named organisational identification. The findings showed that organisational members' leisure and entertainment cultural aesthetics have a significant positive correlation with organisational identification; healing effects also showed a significant positive correlation with organisational identification; healing effects have no moderating effects on the relationship between leisure and entertainment cultural aesthetics and the organisation identification; healing effects have partial mediating effects on the relationship between leisure and entertainment cultural aesthetics and organisational identification.
