| Resumen | Workplace happiness has emerged as a strategic and ethical priority due to its impact on employee well-being, engagement, and sustainable performance. However, the construct remains conceptually fragmented, with existing measures often limited to affect or job satisfaction. This study addresses these limitations by proposing and preliminarily validating a multidimensional instrument that integrates hedonic and eudaimonic dimensions of workplace happiness: emotional well-being and purpose, work-life balance, and work relationships and support. Using a multi-phase research design, including expert content validation, a pilot study (n = 100), and large-scale psychometric testing (n = 354), the study applies exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Results provide initial evidence of strong structural validity, internal consistency, and convergent and discriminant validity (CFI = 0.971; TLI = 0.959; RMSEA = 0.078). Workplace happiness is conceptualised as a synergy of affective fulfilment, meaningful contribution, and supportive relationships. Despite cross-sectional and non-probabilistic limitations, the instrument offers a robust foundation for future validation and human-centred organisational research. | es_ES |
