Organizations today are more focused on retaining their good employee, as they have a great role in accomplishing organizational goals and creating a positive environment and bringing customer satisfaction. The present study was undertaken to see the effect of Job type and gender on work place happiness. A total of 60 employees i.e. 36 males and 24 females working in the private sector organizations in Mumbai were taken as a sample. A survey was conducted based on ten parameters i.e. Salary, Working condition, Flexi-working hours, Job security, Recognition, Proximity to residence, good team mates, good opportunity, Recreational facility, Superiors support. It was found that, 60% employees were happy with their job; level of job happiness was dependent upon gender and was independent of Job Type. Analyzing the data it was also found that salary is not the only factor that makes employees happy and satisfied at their workplace. Happiness ratings for the sample under study didn't increase with income.
