Recently, 'happiness' has become a major issue of national level, exceeding the matter of personal issue. Especially, Korea has actually increased its GDP by focusing on the economic growth for decades, and now it has achieved the economic/technical development as an IT power. However, Korean people's satisfaction with life called 'happiness index' is moving back every year. Even though there have been continuous efforts to enhance the national happiness by mentioning it as an essential issue in the national level, there are not many researches related to it. This study drew measures to enhance happiness by extracting happiness factors and unhappiness factors of Korea through social network service. Especially, it aims to analyze, compare, and apply happiness factors and unhappiness factors of three countries such as the US, UK, and Brazil with higher happiness indexes than Korea. For this, through the topic modeling of text mining technique, postings including keywords about happiness and unhappiness were collected/analyzed from Twitter of Korea, the US, UK, and Brazil. The significance of this study is to discuss measures to increase happiness and to decrease unhappiness by mining/analyzing the actual public opinions about happiness and unhappiness in four countries like Korea, the US, UK, and Brazil by using the topic modeling. Through this, the quality of life of Korean people could be improved by suggesting measures to enhance happiness and to decrease unhappiness in the level of individual, family, society, and government.

전 세계적으로 정신건강과 웰빙에 대한 중요성을 인식하고 있고, 세계 행복 보고서를 통해 꾸준하게 대중의 행복 수치를 기록하고 있다. 2019년 중국에서 발생한 코로나19는 사람들의 일상적인 생활에 많은 변화를 가져왔고, 전염병의 장기화로 인한 스트레스 누적이 사람들의 행복에 영향을 주고 있다. 기존 연구에서는 팬데믹 이후 '우울', '불안'과 같은 정신건강에 부정적인 영향을 알렸고, 수치상으로 행복 지수가 낮아졌음을 밝혔다. 전염병 이후 한국 사회에서 대중들이 느끼는 행복의 이슈 변화에 대한 구체적인 이슈를 분석하는 연구는 부족하다. 따라서, 본 연구는 코로나19 이후 한국인의 행복이슈에 생긴 변화를 파악하고 행복을 증진시킬 수 있는 방안을 찾는 것을 목표로 한다. 코로나19 이전 데이터는 2018년 1월 1일부터 2019년 12월 31일까지, 코로나19 이후 데이터는 2020년 1월 1일부터 2021년 12월 31일까지로 시기를 나누어 수집하였다. ERG 이론에 기반한 하위 키워드 32가지를 검색하여 다양한 측면에서 데이터를 수집하였다. 코로나19 전후 토픽 모델링 결과를 국회 미래연구원에서 발표한 '행복 지표 2.0'의 '건강', '안전', '경제', '교육', '관계 및 사회참여', '여가', '삶의 만족' 영역으로 분류하여 비교 분석하였다. 토픽과 키워드의 세부적인 의미에서 코로나19 전후의 차이를 발견할 수 있었다. 각 영역의 관점에서 행복 증진 방안을 토픽과 키워드를 비교 해석한 결과를 기반으로 제시하였다. 본 논문은 실제 대중들의 '행복' 관련 의견을 마이닝하여 코로나19로 인한 심리적 변화에 대한 연구를 확장했다는 점에서 학술적으로 시사한다. 또한, 기존 행복 증진 불행 경감 방안에 대한 연구를 기반으로 하여 객관적인 행복 지표 영역을 활용해 행복 증진 방안을 구체적으로 제시했다는 점에서 실무적 시사점을 갖는다.

This study focuses on the happiness of the generation MZ of innovative enterprises, which are evaluated as the driving force of economic growth at a time when the value of happiness is emerging. Happiness is related to the prosperity and performance of the organization. However, MZ generation office workers, who account for 45% of the economically active population, are considered unhappy at work. Therefore, this study attempted to explore the preceding factors (organizational factors, relationship and communication factors, and personal factors) of happiness for the generation MZ of innovative enterprises and to examine the effect of happiness on employee engagement. For the study, 300 usable responses were collected from generation MZ working in innovative enterprises through an online survey. Research hypotheses and research questions were verified using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 23.0. As a result, it was confirmed that procedural justice among the organizational factors, rewarding co-worker/supervisor relationship among the relationship/communication factors, and personal factors (meaningfulness of work, personal accomplishment) positively affected the MZ generation's workplace happiness. In particular, the meaningfulness of work, which corresponds to personal factors, exerted the most significant influence. In addition, in the case of happiness at the workplace, there was a positive effect on employee engagement, which was stronger in organizational engagement than in job engagement. As a result of examining the structural relationship between variables used in the study, it was found that procedural justice, rewarding co-worker/supervisor relationships, the meaningfulness of work, and personal accomplishment positively affected employee engagement through happiness. Through research, the importance of happiness at the workplace was suggested by systematically reviewing the preceding variables of happiness at the workplace and grasping the positive effects of happiness. In addition, the management measure of generation MZ employees of innovative enterprises was discussed, the necessity of research on happiness at the workplace was emphasized, and follow-up studies were proposed.

Do happy applicants achieve more? Although it is well established that happiness predicts desirable work-related outcomes, previous findings were primarily obtained in social settings. In this study, we extended the scope of the "happiness premium" effect to the artificial intelligence (AI) context. Specifically, we examined whether an applicant's happiness signal captured using an AI system effectively predicts his/her objective performance. Data from 3,609 job applicants showed that verbally expressed happiness (frequency of positive words) during an AI interview predicts cognitive task scores, and this tendency was more pronounced among women than men. However, facially expressed happiness (frequency of smiling) recorded using AI could not predict the performance. Thus, when AI is involved in a hiring process, verbal rather than the facial cues of happiness provide a more valid marker for applicants' hiring chances.

Chaotic dynamics is an active research area in fields such as biology, physics, sociology, psychology, physiology, and engineering. Interest in chaos is also expanding to the social sciences, such as politics, economics, and societal events prediction. Most people pursue happiness, both spiritual and physical in many cases. However, happiness is not easy to define, because people differ in how they perceive it. Happiness can exist in mind and body. Therefore, we need to be happy in both simultaneously to achieve optimal happiness. To do this, we need to synchronize mind and body. In this paper, we propose a chaotic synchronization method in a mathematical model of happiness organized by a second-order ordinary differential equation with external force. This proposed mathematical happiness equation is similar to Duffing's equation, because it is derived from that equation. We introduce synchronization method from our mathematical happiness model by using the derived Duffing equation. To achieve chaotic synchronization between the human mind and body, we apply an idea of mind/body unity originating in Oriental philosophy. Of many chaotic synchronization methods, we use only coupled synchronization, because this method is closest to representing mind/body unity. Typically, coupled synchronization can be applied only to non-autonomous systems, such as a modified Duffing system. We represent the result of synchronization using a differential time series mind/body model.
