  I don't know how much I believe in this study. Having been in the workplace a few years, I have seen that the happier the employees are, the more productive they are.

  The psychologist is right in a sense, perfomance is more of a personality trait than it being triggered by happiness induced by remuneration.Happiness is personality dependent, for instance in a place like Nigeria people still put a lot in their job despite the very unfavourable working condition prevailent in most establishment.One wonders why it is like that, though you find companies that pay their staff well with fantastic welfare package achieving great productivity and efficiency.
  I believe happiness may lead to productivity but productivity is not the direct result of happiness, it is more of a personal attribute.

  I doubt the accuracy of that conclusion. Allegedly Nathan Bowling???s study ???shows that a cause and effect relationship does not exist between job satisfaction and performance. Instead, the two are related because both satisfaction and performance are the result of employee personality characteristics, such as self-esteem . . .??? Not likely.
  
  The article suggests that high self-esteem is a cause of high job satisfaction. But an ambitious individual with high self-esteem would not really be satisfied in a job that does not offer rewards and challenges commensurate with his or her capabilities and contributions. Any data suggesting otherwise needs to be reexamined.
