Authors

Abstract

To assess the vitality and happiness of Alzahra University's faculty members and the quality of its organizational climate, a sample of 80 faculty members was randomly selected and three measures of Organizational Climate Description Questionnaire with reliability of 0.86, Oxford Happiness Questionnaire with reliability of 0.91, and Deci and Ryan's Vitality Questionnaire with reliability of 0.86 were administered. Analysis of the data showed a significant and positive relationship between organizational climate, happiness, and vitality. This was mainly due to the correlation between some aspects of organizational climate, such as trust and closeness, with happiness and some other aspects, such as close supervision, with vitality.
