Abstract: Abstract It is accepted by most that working constitutes an important part of happiness. It is true that, for some people, working increases their happiness through feelings of self-achievement satisfaction; for others, it decreases their happiness by increasing stress and anxiety. The state of happiness will differ depending on a person’s job status, such as regular or non-regular employment. The story is not simple, however, because the aim of working may differ between individuals, and the treatment, training, and job type may differ between regular and non-regular work. In this sense, it is meaningful to investigate the state of happiness by focusing on job status.
