The goal of the research was to diagnose the state of the perception of organizational happiness of the administrative personnel of a public higher education institution Department of Córdoba (Colombia), relying on four dimensions: Teamwork, satisfaction, commitment, and innovation. Through a qualitative-quantitative and exploratory research, a representative and random sample comprised by 297 administrative employees assigned to three offices located in the municipalities of Montería, Lorica and Berástegui, with a margin of error of 0.03%, was analyzed. The findings show the potential of the teamwork and commitment dimensions to the organization / function, and the need to strengthen job satisfaction and innovation as determining factors in individual expectations and experiences, interpersonal relationships, motivation, adaptability, diversity of methods, work well-being, and appropriation.
