Abstract
Research on happiness, in the meaning of the ultimate goal of people’s lives, dates back to ancient times. Living well and creating suitable conditions to achieve happiness are essential issues in one’s life. However, happiness is affected by many factors. The first thing that comes to mind is the psychological ones. Besides, many socio-economic satisfaction indicators and demographic profiles have an effect on establishing a happy environment. In this line, this paper aims to examine the relationship between the level of happiness and satisfaction indicators by employing multiple linear regression modelling to data from the 2019 Turkish Life Satisfaction Survey. The regression results reveal that the satisfaction indicators considered in this study, except satisfaction from education, significantly explain the happiness level. Admittedly, an increase in educational attainment also improves the level of happiness, however, educational attainment may be a source of unhappiness for especially Turkish people who are disappointed in working life. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.
