The educational environment is assumed to influence students’ happiness. 21.5% of
the Finnish respondents strongly agreed that they were happy with their work
environment while, at the other extreme, only 1.2% strongly disagreed with the
statement. Moreover, the correlation coefficient between the satisfaction variable,
SA1, and variable SS (I feel safe and secure) was 0.29, with HWE (I am happy with my
work environment) 0.07, and with GC (the conditions of buildings and sports
facilities are good) 0.15. All were significant, except for ‘I am happy with my work
environment’ (HWE).
