Abstract

This study tries to investigate the relationship between happiness, mental health and family satisfaction among the employees of Azaran Gas Valve Company in Esfahan. The statistical population consists of 150 employees of the fore-mentioned company examined through census method. The research tools used consisted of Fordyce standard tests, MMPI-2 mental health test, and MSI marriage satisfaction test. Reliability of the tests was measured through Cronbach alpha coefficient showing them to be respectively 0.84, 0.95 and 0.90. The results revealed that the level of happiness in the company was optimal. Happiness among the personnel of different units of the company varied and the average level of happiness in the technical units was higher than those of other units. The level of employees’ mental health was evaluated as satisfactory and mental illness cases in all question items were not more than 5 percent. The level of marriage satisfaction was relatively good. As far as the family relations were concerned, dissatisfaction with children, role orientation, financial problems and conventionalization (unreal dissatisfaction) are some parameters requiring special trainings among the employees or their spouses.
