Abstract

Happiness is an important element in human’s life. In the era of globalization and economic acceleration, humans are exposed to the pressures of work, self-status achievement and relationship problems with others. Happiness becomes a medium that can improve the well-being of human psychological elements. In achieving this desire, cultural elements become an important factor. Therefore, this study aims to explore the influence of culture through the construct of individualism and collectivism on individual happiness. This is a qualitative study using a scoping review method. Study revealed that constructs of individualism and collectivism that exist in a person's culture will affect their self-achievement and further determine aspects of the individual's happiness. Thus, understanding this cultural concept is significant in understanding human needs and desires to achieve happiness. Furthermore, it can be used as a guideline and basis in helping relationships and the development of policies related to increasing social mobility and the quality of human life.

Kegembiraan merupakan elemen penting yang menjadi tumpuan dan matlamat manusia pada hari ini. Dalam era globalisasi dan kepesatan ekonomi, manusia tidak terkecuali menerima tempias tekanan dalam pekerjaan, pencapaian status diri dan masalah perhubungan dengan orang lain. Oleh yang demikian, kegembiraan menjadi medium yang dapat meningkatkan kesejahteraan elemen psikologi manusia. Dalam mencapai hasrat ini, elemen budaya menjadi faktor penting. Justeru, kajian ini bertujuan untuk melihat pengaruh budaya melalui konstruk individualisme dan kolektivisme terhadap kegembiraan individu. Kajian ini merupakan kajian  kualitatif  dengan  menggunakan  reka  bentuk  kajian  skop. Dapatan kajian mendapati bahawa konstruk individualisme dan kolektivisme yang wujud dalam budaya seseorang itu akan mempengaruhi pencapaian kendiri mereka dan seterusnya menentukan aspek kegembiraan individu tersebut. Justeru, pemahaman terhadap konsep budaya ini adalah signifikan dalam memahami keperluan dan hasrat manusia bagi mencapai kegembiraan. Seterusnya, ia dapat dijadikan sebagai garis panduan dan asas dalam perhubungan menolong dan pembentukan dasar yang berkaitan dengan peningkatan mobiliti sosial dan kualiti hidup manusia.
