Abstract

This current research has focused on the relationship between overeducation and happiness in educational postgraduate masters and doctoral graduates. The aim of the research is to define this relationship positively and negatively. To achieve this, the two researchers used a descriptive approach. The research sample consisted of (264) master’s and PhD degrees in educational sciences. After obtaining the sample views, the data were processed statistically using arithmetical mean and standard deviation and the statements of resolution were then arranged according to the arithmetic mean. The research yielded several results, the most important of which was that the views of the sample varied according to three choices (large, medium and small). Based on the foregoing findings. The research recommends the following: Conducting similar research applied to large samples of various pedagogical disciplines.  More material support for postgraduate students (while in school) and incentives for them, as the cost of schooling is not commensurate with the return, which is a hindrance to enrollment in postgraduate studies. Work to increase the financial return from obtaining a degree in proportion to the expenditure on if. To invest the impaired potential of educational graduate students, especially those with a degree, who did not have career opportunities commensurate with their degree.  Offer career opportunities at the master’s doctoral levels and give them priority in applying for senior leadership positions to benefit from their expertise.
