"A happy employee is a productive employee”. Comment.The statement is not necessarily true. Any satisfied employee would turn out to be productive to the point when they are satisfied. There is a varying degree of satisfaction level for all the individuals be it low, medium or even highly productive. The satisfaction and performance are seen to be highly inter-related as compared to the happy behavior of the employee. A perceived equity of performance reward is highly is more effective than ‘happy behavior’ of any employee.According to Blumberg, M and Pringles, C. (1982), usually, a happy worker is estimated out to be a productive worker suggesting that satisfaction leads to productive performance. This quote suggests that satisfaction in any job is the prime motive behind higher productivity. The satisfaction can be intrinsic such as motivating an employee by recognizing his hard work and efforts. This suggests that satisfied workers are highly productive because the satisfied workers are comparatively more inclined towards their work as compared to the happy workers, thereforeare more productive. Therefore there are various factors which motivate the employee other than his happy behavior namely financial rewards like the job promotion, the increase in salary, praise, benefits, and recognition for efforts, etc. These rewards are extrinsic in nature as they are provided by some other person whereas the intrinsic rewards are based on the human needs. Therefore, it can be argued that "The well-motivated employees are more productive at the workplace." (Ben‐Ner, A., & Jones, D. C., 1995).
