Purpose

Psychology studies have gradually evolved in the past decades from examining negative to positive states of mind. This has led to an increasing interest in understanding the well-being of individuals. Further, organizational research has demonstrated a positive impact of employee well-being on key business indicators. Drawing from positive psychology, this study examines the impact of happiness-enhancing activities and positive practices (HAPP) on employee well-being.

Design/methodology/approach

This study was conducted in an emerging information technology firm in India. Using validated measures, this study designed an online survey that was completed by 54 employees of the firm.

Findings

Employees largely perceived the HAPP as important but reported low levels of engagement in most activities or practices. Using hierarchical linear regression, this study found that self-concordant work significantly impacted employee’s job satisfaction and job-related affective well-being.

Practical implications

Leaders must harness the synergy between individual and organizational growth by providing self-concordant work contexts in which employee’s key skills, competencies and strengths are leveraged.

Originality/value

This study contributes to the existing scant literature on HAPP. Further, in a first, this study uses these psychological interventions in the context of workplace and assesses their impact on employee well-being which itself is an area of growing interest among academicians and practitioners.

目的

在过去的几十年中,心理学研究逐渐从检查消极心理状态发展为积极心理状态。这导致人们越来越有兴趣了解个人的福祉。此外,组织研究表明员工幸福感对关键业务指标有积极影响。借鉴积极心理学,本研究考察了提升幸福感的活动和积极实践 (HAPP) 对员工幸福感的影响。

员工大多认为 HAPP 很重要,但在大多数活动或实践中的参与度较低。使用层次线性回归,本研究发现自我协调工作显着影响员工的工作满意度和与工作相关的情感幸福感。

实际影响

领导者必须通过提供自我协调的工作环境来利用员工的关键技能、能力和优势,从而利用个人和组织发展之间的协同作用。

原创性/价值

这项研究有助于现有的 HAPP 文献不足。此外,首先,本研究在工作场所的背景下使用这些心理干预措施,并评估它们对员工幸福感的影响,这本身就是院士和从业者越来越感兴趣的领域。
