In different societies or cultures it has been considered that happy people are successful in multiple aspects of life, which implies a causality between success and happiness. The present study aimed to analyze happiness and its impact on the academic performance and job placement of university graduates. The research was developed under a hypothetical deductive method, of the correlational descriptive type, with a non-experimental design. The population was defined as all 2020 engineering graduates from a private university in the city of Lima-Peru. The instrument used to measure happiness was the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, which consists of 29 items with answers on a six-point Likert scale, with a reliability of Cronbach's alpha of 0.823, 2 questions were added to know the employment situation and the academic performance was obtained from the weighted averages; To complement the results, the interview technique was used, collecting descriptive information according to the guide prepared; In the conclusions, a significant relationship between the happiness variable and academic performance was confirmed, since 60% of graduates with a high level of happiness belonged to the upper third. Likewise, with a Chi-square statistic of 0.750 with p = 0.400, it was found that happiness was not significantly related to the labor insertion of the graduates belonging to the upper third. This research contributes in Peru to the research line of cognitive processes, learning psychology and educational psychology.
