Abstract: BACKGROUND:It is asserted that the positive outcomes from employees are a result of positive gestures initiated by the organization. Consequently, organizations can strategize their practices in such a manner that would stimulate and amplify positive behavioral outcomes from employees ultimately leading to organizational effectiveness and ameliorated organizational sustainability. OBJECTIVE:The objective of the present study is to investigate the relationship between Perceived Organizational Virtuousness (POV) and Workplace Happiness (WPH), mediated by Job Satisfaction (JS) for creating sustainable organizations. METHOD:Quantitative research approach was adopted following a conclusive research design. Purposive (Non-probability) sampling technique was used, and data was collected from 470 employees from IT and ITeS sector companies of Delhi-NCR (India) using questionnaire. The statistical analysis was done using SmartPLS 4 for the data. RESULTS:The results revealed that employees, who perceive organizations as virtuous, tend to feel happy at the workplace. Also, the perceptions of Organizational Virtuousness were found to amplify the experiences of Workplace Happiness and it was also found that Job Satisfaction significantly mediates the stated relationship. CONCLUSIONS:The results of the study could help the managers and strategy makers to ensure well-being of employees and adding to their performance and effectiveness.
