I. INTRODUCTION
Happiness at work has a huge impact on companies and employees. Employees who are happy at work have a positive attitude towards life satisfaction, are more productive at work, and reduce employee turnover, thus enabling them to develop superior human resources (Ningsih, 2013). Employees who love to work will help the company. Employees who are enthusiastic about their work will gladly accept any task, do it thoroughly, without prioritizing monetary rewards. This may have an impact on employees. If they are happy with their work, they will work more enthusiastically and persistently, increasing work productivity. Employees who are committed to the organization are more likely to act well, be disciplined at work, create positive relationships with coworkers, and perform better (Milwati, 2013:261).
One’s job satisfaction can be seen from the number of employee attendance. According to Rivai (2003), one indicator of job dissatisfaction among employees is if the level of work attendance continues. Many of these people do not work because they are bored with their regular work.
