A munkahelyi jóllét és boldogság empirikus kutatása egyre nagyobb teret nyer már hazai viszonylatban is. Jelen kutatás a magyar pedagógusok munka során átélt boldogságának legfőbb dimenziói és jellemzői feltárását tűzte ki célul kvalitatív és kvantitatív módszerrel.
A vizsgálat részeként 297 pedagógus „Mikor él át/érez boldogságot a munkája során?” nyílt kérdésre adott válaszai, valamint Lyubomirsky és Lepper (1999) nevével fémjelzett, Szubjektív Boldogság Skálán (Subjective Happiness Scale) kapott eredményei kerültek feldolgozásra.
A szöveges válaszok tartalomelemzése során négy fő dimenzió rajzolódott ki. A pedagógus munka-boldogság élményében a legmarkánsabb meghatározók az eredményesség és siker tényezője, a munkájukra vonatkozó értékelés és visszajelzés, a munkaélményt jelentő tényezők, valamint a társas kapcsolatok. A vizsgált háttérváltozók (pl. a nem, az elégedettség, a munkastressz, az egészségi és családi állapot) közül több is értelmezhető kapcsolatot mutat a Szubjektív Boldogság Skála globális boldogság mutatójával.
Eredményeink ismeretében, különböző, pozitív pszichológiai intervenciós lehetőségeket is számba véve, gyakorlati megfontolásokat teszünk a munkahelyi jóllét és boldogság növelése érdekében. Ezen javaslatok nemcsak specifikusan a pedagógusok, de más munkakörben dolgozók szempontjából is relevánsak lehetnek.
