In an interview, SMU Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour & Human Resources Tan Hwee Hoon shared her thoughts about happiness in the workplace. Assoc Prof Tan opined that happiness results from satisfaction at the workplace and the outcome of being motivated. The relationship between productivity and happiness is stronger at the organisational level than at the individual level, and leaders at an organisation thus play a huge role in ensuring that happiness is contagious at the workplace.
