Happiness at Work and Employee Wellbeing: A Qualitative Exploration
Employees who are happy should
exhibit win-win behaviour in the workplace by displaying the owners’ mind-set,
and prosocial work behaviour. Apart from the fact that happiness at work might
be seen as a by-product of positive outcomes, its link to employee wellbeing in
constricting milieus like Nigeria is not adequately captured in extant organisational
behaviour literatures. Therefore, this qualitative study explored the
relationship between happiness at work and employee wellbeing among employees
in Nigeria. Qualitative data was collected online from working professionals in
the manufacturing industry in Nigeria using open-ended questions. Results indicated
that happiness at work is central to achieving internal joy and internal harmony
by employees which thus affected their wellbeing. Also, it was also revealed
that when employers provided them with meaningful work and a sense of
belongingness at work, they become happier and perceive their place of work as
where they want to be, and not where they need to be. Consequently, this study
recommended amongst others that, organisations should ensure that they adopt
humane employment practices to continually spur employees’ happiness at work
which will ultimately affect their wellbeing positively and organisational
success in the long run.
