Cultivating workplace bliss: The keys to unlocking organizational citizenship and workplace happiness

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

This research paper examines the impact of happiness at the workplace on organizational citizenship behavior and investigates the impact of organizational learning capabilities in this relationship. The results confirmed that happiness at the workplace has a significant positive influence on organizational citizenship behavior. Organizational learning capabilities also partially influence this relationship, as a happy workforce is more inclined to engage in continuous learning and development, fostering citizenship behaviors. The two most pertinent managerial insights are to foster a culture of positivity and happiness within the workplace, and to encourage and support organizational learning capabilities to unlock the full potential of a workforce that goes above and beyond its prescribed roles.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
