description Abstract Purpose The current research examines corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a mechanism between organizational culture and happiness management. Further, it identifies the relationship between happiness management and consumer happiness. Methods The empirical study uses the partial least structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique with a sample of 488 workers from small and medium-sized enterprises in various urban locations. Results Outcomes showed that organizational culture is associated with happiness management and CSR mediates the association between organizational culture and happiness management. Moreover, happiness management has a positive and significant influence on consumer happiness. Originality/Value While organizational culture and CSR have gained increasing scholarly attention, further empirical research is needed to explore their impact on happiness management and consumer happiness. This study provides insights into how and when organizations can enhance both by examining these key variables.
