Happy-performing Managers by Peter Hosie Pdf
This book brings contemporary rigour to solve an age-old conundrum in management - do happy workers perform better? Decades of research - and mixed empirical evidence - have been unable to establish a strong link between affective well-being, intrinsic job satisfaction and managers' performance. This book employs a unique methodology, new empirical evidence and a definitive analysis of previous research to move towards supporting the happy productive worker thesis. The contributors illustrate that establishing how affective well-being and intrinsic job satisfaction predicts performance, it is now possible to demonstrate how deterioration, or an improvement, in affective well-being and intrinsic job satisfaction, impacts managerial performance.
