Estudo sobre elementos da Felicidade Interna Bruta (FIB) junto aos acadêmicos do Curso de Comércio Internacional da UCS CARVI

Abstract

Happiness is a wide concept. Each person has a type of thinking about the subject. However, 1972, the United Nations (UN) formalized and recognized an indicator to complement the GDP (Gross Domestic Product), called FIB (Gross National Happiness). The concept was originally developed in Bhutan, which even though it is considered a very poor country, has a considerable rate of happiness, being among the ninety-five happiest countries in the world. (WORLD HAPPINESS, 2019) The GNH, therefore, serves to analyze fair data to people, such as time use, family care, elements related to nature, self-welfare, among others. (GNH CENTRE, 2020) In face of that, the general objective of this study was to approach how the index is developed and apply a quantitative research, on a descriptive level, together with the academics of International Business at UCS/CARVI. For this purpose, a questionnaire was used,- on a Likert scale, which was answered by 47 academics of the course. This questionnaire was developed from two official Gross National Happiness (GNH) instruments, one from 2007 and the other from 2015, developed by the Bhutanese government. The work highlights the importance of happiness for people as something essential. From the results obtained with the research, it can be concluded that UCS/CARVI International Business academics have a good level of happines. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
