Data collected from the survey using self-reported questionnaires were analyzed by t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis using IBM SPSS statistics 21.0 program.
Results: There were statistically significant correlations among variables; a negative correlation between happiness and emotional labor, a positive correlation between happiness and resilience, and a negative correlation between emotional labor and resilience.
