Abstract: Happiness and well-being are increasingly recognized as critical components of human development and professional satisfaction. Despite their pivotal role in shaping future generations, college educators in Ernakulam district face challenges that adversely affect their happiness, with limited research exploring these specific issues. This study addresses this gap by examining the factors influencing the happiness of college educators, using both descriptive and analytical research methods. The research also examines the impact of stress and workload on educators' happiness levels. Findings reveal that educator happiness is shaped by a combination of financial and non-financial factors. Moderate salaries are associated with higher well-being, while excessive workloads and limited awareness of government support schemes reduce job satisfaction. The study highlights the need for supportive institutional environments and improved policy communication. By identifying the key influencers, this research provides actionable insights for policymakers and academic institutions to implement targeted strategies that enhance job satisfaction, reduce burnout, and ultimately foster a more motivated and effective teaching workforce. Promoting educator happiness not only benefits individual well-being but also improves instructional quality and student outcomes, contributing to a stronger educational ecosystem.
