Abstract
The research study investigated the growing role of Human Resource Management (HRM) through the prism of how daytime sleep or nap may impact on happiness statement of the employees. In the United Arab Emirates, where the authorities have achieved a very high standard of living of the population and consistently introducing modern technologies in various spheres of life and the economy, the term “happiness” has become one of the most important criteria and goals for the work of government agencies at various levels. The outcomes are based on information collected from a detailed quantitative and qualitative data research of 200 respondents. Results proved that there is a significant correlation between happiness and nap. Furthermore, the results also show that the impact of employee’s development and happiness also measures the overall organizational performance. Thus, the main contribution of this study to the literature on current and future HRM and performance concerns the use of daytime sleep in a multidimensional performance perspective.
