Research A fun workplace is important since it is a fundamental component of employee satisfaction. A sense of happiness helps people to have a positive mind, enjoy high levels of wellbeing and have better mental health. Fun influences job satisfaction, dedication, creativity, energy, organizational citizenship behavior, and productivity, and negatively absenteeism, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, turnover, and burnout (Tews et. al., 2012 as cited in Miiceldili 2016). A pleasant workplace is one where employees are more dependable and effective. Employees get to communicate with one another and create stronger bonds during enjoyable events, which further helps them to work better as a team because social interaction lowers communication barriers. Fun is a type of medicine that, if taken by employees, improves their morale, productivity, excitement, decreases complaints of boredom, and, most importantly, makes them happy both on and offthe job (Soundarapandiyan, K., et al., 2018). For employees, having fun at work is a crucial aspect of job happiness. It promotes improved performance, higher customer satisfaction scores, and employee retention (Attebery, 2017 as cited in M. Zani and Samanol, 2022).This is supported by past research on some characteristics of fun including fun activities and management support for establishing a fun atmosphere and activities for employees, improving working relationships and increasing involvement in the learning process (Tews et al., 2017, 2014).
