Reviews

Interest in the phenomenon of happiness, and why it matters in the workplace, has never been higher. This book, by a researcher who has been one of the more prominent contributors to this area for nearly four decades, provides a comprehensive appraisal of the current state of thinking regarding the causes, and consequences, of happiness at work. - Timothy A. Judge, University of Florida, Department of Management, USA Peter Warr has contributed to this area like none other. He presents a very useful and highly readable synopsis of research into emotions, satisfaction, and well-being at work. I highly recommend this book. - Michael Frese, University of Giessen and London Business School, UK Peter Warr! has produced a formidable book that must be reckoned with for the next 10 to 20 years of research, theory, and practice... The book is exhaustive and comprehensive. It represents the culmination of many years of work, and surpassing it would be very difficult! For those interested in job or career satisfaction, job design, or happiness in general, this book represents the baseline for future work. -- Jay C. Thomas in PsycCRITIQUES This is an excellent and a comprehensive book and a must read book for those in the area of Industrial/Organizationa/Occupational/Clincal Psychology, Management, and Human Resources. I would also strongly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the area of mental health in the workplace. - Katy Kamakar in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
