Specifically, the objectives of the research were: (1) to determine the students’ status of mental health, level of spiritual intelligence and happiness; (2) to examine the influence of mental health and spiritual intelligence on students’ happiness; (3) to examine the influence of happiness on students’ academic performance; (4) to investigate the mediation effect of happiness on the relationship mental health - academic performance and spiritual intelligence - academic performance; and (5) to analyze the differences in students’ happiness based on gender, year of study and religion. The study was conducted by using quantitative method through survey and using questionnaire as the research instrument on 460 respondents who were selected among 9121 UMP undergraduate students by using simple random sampling technique. The results of descriptive analysis indicated that 40.2% of the respondents had shown symptoms of mental problems with GHQ-30 mean score above cut-off point (M=6.65). However, majority respondents had a fairly good level of spiritual intelligence (M=3.92) and happiness (M=3.82). The correlation analysis revealed that mental health and spiritual intelligence had a significant positive effect on happiness and academic performance. The regression analysis had shown that happiness had no significant mediation effect on the mental health - academic performance relationship but acted as a partial mediatior on the spiritual intelligence - academic performance relationship. The ttest and ANOVA analysis results revealed that there was a significant difference in the happiness overall score based on students’ gender but not based on their year of study and religion. Overall, this study had filled in the literature gap on the level of mental health, spiritual intelligence and happiness of students in the context of Malaysian universities particularly in UMP. The results of the study had also confirmed existing theories on the relationships between the study variables. Other than that, the model developed by the researcher can be used as a reference in future studies to further investigate how students’ happiness and academic performance can be enhanced through their mental health and spiritual intelligence.
