Since its beginnings, Positive Psychology has considered as one of its fundamental problems, not only the negative aspects, but everything that makes life worthwhile and meaningful. Thus, it can be said that this branch of psychology studies both the difficulties and the strengths of people. Thanks to this different way of studying human experiences, it generates important contributions to health promotion, which aims at the health and salutogenesis of the human being. In addition, it does not only seek to prevent disease, but also to increase health and happiness, which is key to the quality of life of individuals, both personally and organizationally. The main objective of this paper is to expose the relationship between health promotion and happiness, and the different strategies that can be carried out within the workplace, because several studies show that job satisfaction corresponds to happiness and the emotional dimension of health. This relationship between health promotion and happiness is part of the objective of Positive Psychology, which contributes to improve the quality of life, subjective well-being, in conclusion: the health of the individual.Downloads
