Data yang dikumpul dan dianalisis berdasarkan maklumat daripada informan menggunakan garis paduan soalan temu bual separa berstruktur dianalisis secara tematik. Hasil kajian mendapati interaksi sosial dalam mencipta kebahagiaan di tempat kerja menghadapi beberapa cabaran yang berpunca daripada perbezaan pangkat dan sikap individu yang berbeza karakter menyebabkan berlakunya tiada jaringan kerjasama serta komunikasi tidak berkesan dalam kalangan staf pelaksana UKM. Penemuan ini menunjukkan bahawa interaksi sosial yang negatif dalam kalangan pelaksana menyebabkan kebahagiaan di tempat kerja menjadi satu tekanan dan beban tugas terhadap individu yang terlibat. Oleh itu, adalah penting bagi pihak pengurusan untuk mempromosikan budaya kerja yang menyokong interaksi sosial yang positif melalui pelbagai inisiatif seperti program pembinaan pasukan dan latihan komunikasi. Interaksi sosial yang berkesan dapat meningkatkan prestasi kerja dan produktiviti organisasi.
