A research from the University of Warwick revealed that people are more productive at work when they are happy.
The research led by professor Andrew Oswald, Dr Eugenio Proto and Dr Daniel Sgroi from the department of Economics revealed that happiness would boost your productivity at work to 12%.
The research sample was grouped into two with over 700 participants. One set was given a treat of free chocolate, fruit, juice and watching a comedy movie while the other set were exposed to things that would make them sad such as questions about family tragedies and bereavement. The research focused on the effect of happiness and sadness on workers.
According to Dr Sgroi “the driving force seems to be that happier workers use the time they have more effectively, increasing the pace at which they can work without sacrificing quality”.
So, are you happy with what you do? Your job, your business, your career path; you ought to do what you are really happy with else you would be less productive.
