LEARNING TO BE HAPPY AT WORK

The ultimate goal of any person is to be happy, everything we do is aimed at attaining this goal. Happiness is the solid pillar which will enable us to achieve success both personally and professionally. When we are happy at work, we are more motivated, we pay more, we are more productive, better companions, we have better ideas, etc., and all of this greatly increases the chances of success. The happiness predicts significant results, as are greater productivity and job performance, greater self-control, better interpersonal relationships, better physical and mental health, as well as a greater longevity (Branham, 2012; Lyubomirsky et al., 2005; Peterson et al., 2011; Pryce-Jones, 2010). On this basis, and to show how the business model based on the happiness that enabled the company Zappos(1) success is highly profitable (Hsieh, 2010), there were several sessions with the aim to transmit to the students the importance of happiness at work, and enable them reflect on the individual results of the fault finding happiness at Work Survey. All this allowed them to become aware and take responsibility for their own happiness at work. It also helped them to make important decisions and observe the favorable results of their initiatives.
