N2 - In this study, the relationship between happiness and organizational commitment in workers in the fishing sector of the City of Chimbote was investigated. A correlational quantitative approach and a non-experimental cross-sectional research design were used to determine the association between these two constructs and to verify if there is a significant relationship between them. To collect data, a survey was applied to a sample of 342 workers in the fishing sector. Two measurement instruments were used to assess happiness and organizational commitment. The participants provided information about their level of subjective happiness and their degree of commitment to the organization in which they worked. The results revealed a significant positive correlation between happiness and organizational commitment. These findings support the idea that happiness in the workplace can have a positive impact on employee engagement with the organization. These results are consistent with previous research that has also found a positive relationship between happiness and organizational commitment. This suggests that promoting happiness at work can be beneficial in fostering employee commitment to the organization. However, it is important to note that this study has its limitations. It focused on a specific industry and a particular geographic location, so the results may not be generalizable to other industries or locations. In addition, a self-report measure of happiness was used, which may be subject to bias and limitations. In future research, it would be useful to explore these relationships in different work contexts and consider using more objective measures or various sources to assess happiness. This would help to obtain a more complete and generalizable understanding of how happiness at work is related to organizational commitment.
