Happiness is a factor affecting someone's performance. The unhappy feelings can disrupt an individual's ability to adapt personally and socially. Many factors affect happiness, one of which is emotional intelligence. The thing is that the result of the previous study showed how competencies of emotional intelligence are diverse, and the researcher decided to study the seven competencies with the lowest score. Thus, this research aimed to study the effect of emotional intelligence on the happiness of undergraduate students of SBM ITB. The target population of this study was undergraduate students of SBM ITB. The instruments for collecting information in this study were designed by the researcher based on the PERMA model by Seligman and Emotional Intelligence concept by Daniel Goleman. All the data collected will be input and proceed by SPSS. Based on the multiple regression linear analysis with 367 samples, the result of the analysis indicates that self-control, influence, adaptability, and self-confidence have a positive influence on undergraduate students of SBM ITB, and the other competencies, initiative, change catalyst, and managing conflict do not influence happiness on undergraduate students of SBM ITB.
