A happy worker is a hard worker, or so the saying goes. New research shows this to be true

OUR STAFF are our most important asset. Many managers have intoned this mantra over the years but plenty of employees have probably thought to themselves that, deep down, executives place a higher value on the machines on the factory floor or cash in the bank.

But there is a serious point hidden amid its grandiose statements. Too many companies operate a top-down “command and control” system, Ms Hlupic argues, when they would be better served by giving employees more freedom to make their own decisions. Of course, correlation does not prove causality. It could be that working for a successful firm makes employees more contented, rather than the other way round. However, the authors cite studies of changes within individual firms and organisations which seem to show that improvements in employee morale precede gains in productivity, rather than the other way round.

alllibertynews new research sheds light on why so much research is stupid

arunabolaky Bien sûr. Leçon à donner aux patrons .

Exactly, I have touched this in a Family firm and the happiest employee is more productive in his work not only the incentive make my employee happy but many things especially the mental state of the employee.

They had to research this? I did a study that showed happy people are happier than sad people.

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

What if employee happiness is correlated with salary? Will it be impossible or hardly, to find employee in “real” happiness?

Te real question is which one goes first.

When workers feel happy and fulfilled they do better jobs? Astonishing findings, simply astonishing.

Seems like common sense, haha.

No way.

2 Corinthians 9:6-7 (ESV) 6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.KOT

norihiko_sasaki I am Japanese. There are so many huge differences between Asia especially Japan and any other countries for working.

No shock here!

JemilahMahmood Yes this is right

JemilahMahmood Yes this us right

Doesn't mean 'those who work hard r happy. ' Its looks more of an HR issue than operations .

My employer and I are in sync, he pretends to pay me and I pretend to work

Very true. If you micro manage your staff dont be surprise if you fail to get macro results.

That's very true
