This study was to examine the effect of social support on the happiness of the elderly and the mediating effect of self-efficacy on the elderly using the elderly welfare center. For this purpose, 815 elderly people using 18 institutions of the elderly welfare centers in Jeollabuk-do were surveyed by the sampling method from April 6 to 20, 2016 and analyzed by structural equation model. The results were as follows. First, social support, self-efficacy, and happiness showed a positive correlation. The higher the social support, the higher the elderly self-efficacy and higher self-efficacy. Second, the path from self-efficacy to self-efficacy to euphoria, and from social support to euphoria were statistically significant. In addition, professional support among the social support has the greatest effect on the happiness of the elderly, and the mediating effect of the self-efficacy is also significant. On the other hand, friendship support did not positively affect the elderly's euphoria and self-efficacy. As a result, it was confirmed that social support has an important effect on euphoria by mediating self-efficacy. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a proactive social support to elderly people using a welfare center, and to improve self-efficacy and happiness.
