Currently, organizations impact people's lives and to achieve delight with life it is necessary to be happy at work, as it is a phenomenon that characterizes every individual. However, various studies have shown that when societies present or experience high rates of economic growth, people, thanks to their income levels, experience an increase in happiness. Thus, the main objective of this article was to analyze the perspective of work happiness in the Latin American context, based on authors such as Pizarro, Rojas, Vera (2021), Ludeña, Tobar, Ahumada (2021), Sánchez (2018), among others. The investigation corresponds to a documentary review. It is concluded that happiness is not built on an individual level, since the happiness of one group cannot be the misery of others. In this sense, social justice is very necessary. However, it is unavoidable to emphasize that human beings are not willing to renounce such an experience. However, it is useful for companies to allow their workers a job tranquility focused on incentives, since economic growth affects the happiness of workers.
