Abstract:
Organizational achievement is determined by several factors, particularly human resources. Human resources with high levels of happiness will certainly affect productivity and tasks performed. Since workers spend most of their day working in the organization, it is evident that the organizational environment will influence the emotional well-being of the workers. This study aims at Transformational leadership and its impact on achieving organizational happiness on a sample of workers at Islamic University, Najaf, Iraq, based on the descriptive analytical approach to achieving this goal. The results have proven that leaders who have the skills of listening and thinking about the career path of workers greatly affect the happiness of workers in the organization.
