The article deals with the issue of the influence of happiness on the effectiveness of the educational process in higher education and training of public servants. The results of scientific research by Ukrainian and foreign scholars on the influence of happiness are summarised. The article highlights the key characteristics of the relationship between students' feeling of happiness and the effectiveness of the educational process in higher education, including: psychological well-being and academic performance; happiness and motivation to learn; the impact of a positive atmosphere in the learning environment; emotional burnout and its consequences. The article pays special attention to the factors of happiness formation during the training of public servants in higher education institutions, including: psychological well-being and productivity of public servants; job and learning satisfaction; the impact of emotional intelligence on learning; learning as a form of realisation of hope for the future and a way out of the crisis.
It is concluded that the feeling of happiness is an important factor in improving the effectiveness of learning in higher education, which contributes to the improvement of cognitive functions, results in increased motivation and reduced stress in students, which will improve learning outcomes. It has been found that the issue of the impact of happiness on the training of public servants has not been sufficiently studied and has been considered by scholars in relation to psychological well-being, job satisfaction, and emotional intelligence. According to the results of these studies, happy employees learn new knowledge better, are more motivated to learn, and are more effective in their professional activities. It is concluded that the actualisation of students‘ sense of happiness should not only improve the quality of the educational process, but also contribute to the formation of students’ resilience to the crisis situation in the country caused by the war. Thus, the purposeful formation of an educational environment in higher education institutions that will contribute to the growth of students' happiness is one of the important tasks of managing higher education institutions in the current realities of the wartime crisis.
