This paper aims at comparing and investigating the relationship between personal characteristics, the three aspects of Tisikkhā-based behaviors (Sila, Samadhi, and Paññā), and the eight aspects of happiness (Happy Body, Happy Relax, Happy Heart, Happy Soul, Happy Family, Happy Society, Happy Brain, and Happy Money) of the employees in the private organization. The survey research was utilized to collect data from all 146 employees in the headquarter office located in Bangkok and the manufacturing plant located in Nakorn-pathom, Thailand. The average score, standard deviation, t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), the Scheffe method of multiple comparisons, and multiple regression using the 'Enter' method with a significance level of 0.05 were utilized for data analysis. The research findings showed that
1.With regards to a comparison of the levels of the eight aspects of employee happiness, there was no significant relationship between gender and the level of the seven aspects of employee happiness. However, it was found that males have a higher level of Happy Body when compared with females. Age was not related to all eight aspects of happiness. Nevertheless, education level was related to the two aspects of happiness. This means that employees without college degrees have a higher level of Happy Body and Happy Society when compared with others. There was also no significant relationship between work position and the seven aspects of employee happiness. However, operation level employees have the higher level of Happy Body when compared with others.
2. The multiple regression analysis indicated that Smadhi and Paññā based behaviors affected the level of the eight aspects of happiness at a significance level of 0.05 (P< 0.05). Whilst, sila-based behaviors did not affect any aspects of happiness. Standardized regression coefficients (β) are 0.303, 0.159, and 0.052, respectively. In addition, unstandardized regression coefficients (b) are 0.458, 0.243, and 0.067, respectively. The result showed that 44.90 percent of the variation in employee happiness is explained by variation in Smadhi and Paññā based behaviors. The results can be presented by using the regression equations as follow:
ŷ = 1.923 + 0.458X2 + 0.243X3
Ẑy = 0.303 X2 + 0.159 X3
