"A team of economists has now produced research that suggests there are clear links between workers' happiness and their productivity.
...
"We find that human happiness has large and positive causal effects on productivity," the team said. "Positive emotions appear to invigorate human beings, while negative emotions have the opposite effect."
...
"Happier workers, our research found, were 12% more productive. Unhappier workers were 10% less productive." Significantly, subjects who watched the comedy film but did not report higher levels of happiness were unable to demonstrate higher levels of productivity.
.
The findings led the economists to claim: "The increase in productivity seems to be linked to the increase in happiness, not merely to the watching of the comedy movie per se." The team also found that those who had experienced a death or illness in their families within the past two years performed 10% worse than others."

Mas atenção, não confundam este aumento real de produtividade com o aumento de produtividade que o país precisa.

Se uma PME produz 70€ por hora por trabalhador pode passar a produzir 76/78€ por hora, enquanto na OCDE em média, um trabalhador produz 100€ por hora.
