Sumario:[EN] People have always been interested in happiness. At the start of the 20th century, the scientific discussion was reserved for philosophy, but other scientific disciplines have since become interested in this topic (Rela et al., 2020). Since the beginning of the 21st century, empirical research has focused on happiness mainly in sociology, social and personality psychology and physiology (Nu~ nez-Barriopedro et al., 2020). Today, disciplines such as politics, economics and marketing have a well-developed body of knowledge on happiness to draw on. In marketing, consumer research treats happiness as an emotion within the psychological determinants of consumer behavior (Kroeber-Riel and Weinberg, 1996). The distinction between external and internal models of happiness is common to all scientific disciplines. Happiness “from the outside” is a state that depends on external, objective conditions, such as material prosperity or consumption (Yoshida et al., 2021). Happiness “from within” is a state that depends on internal, subjective judgments. Research in business organizations and empirical results of research show that prosperity and well-being should be treated “from within” (Gutierrez-Rodrıguez et al., 2024). This means that we conceptualize happiness as a subjective phenomenon ofinternal states that are only partially influenced by objective factors (Ravina-Ripoll et al., 2019).
