Creating Employee Well-being at Private Universities in Indonesia: The Impact of the Working Environment

Abstract

The study aims to evaluate academics’ happiness in response to the organisational changes in HR practices in HEI. A sequential exploratory mixed methods procedure was used with two data collections: FGD – interviews, and survey. The results find that conflict and stress are significant consequences of organisational change; with other adverse outcomes including reduced academic freedom, health, satisfaction and happiness. Even though the impacts of adjustment is momentary, still the change may reduce the academic well-being.
