Main Article Content
Abstract
Spanish entrepreneurs have levels of happiness that are determined by sociodemographic variables, such as religious confession or marital status. In this research, a quantitative statistical analysis has been carried out based on the results of the CIS barometer (September 2018), in order to examine the bivariate relationships between religion-happiness and marital status-happiness in the collective object of our study. Currently, economic science is advancing including in its rational explanations theorizations about the importance of the spiritual, psychological and sociological variables of well-being. All of which implies a more adequate functioning of the economy and society, beyond approaches focused exclusively on performance and productivity. It is necessary to carry out more research in this sense to develop to the maximum the knowledge around happiness management and the Economy of Happiness in the 21st century.
