Abstract

The study was conducted with the primary objective to analyse the relationship between teacher's workplace happiness and their academic performance, and identify key factors impacting teacher's happiness and their academic performance, which if managed well could lead to their sustainable academic performance at higher educational institutions. Past research had studied teachers' academic performance more through the prism of student outcomes and overall institutional performance. While most teachers were found to be in the 'low to moderate' happiness zone, still a positive and significant relationship existed between teacher's workplace happiness and their academic performance. Diverse factors at the workplace tend to 'box in' the teachers by constraining them to follow the 'teaching rituals', instead of exploring their potential, thereby leading to lack of happiness and professional satisfaction, and perpetuating an unsustainable academic performance model. Study recommends steps to enhance teacher's workplace happiness as a means to achieve sustainable academic performance.
