Happiness at Work Through Recognition and Reward Programs

Happiness has been explored from different perspectives—moods, attitudes, emotions, and/or feelings of wellness—and its study has been extended to work experiences. This chapter is framed within the theoretical review of happiness, and happiness at work and its management, by means of recognition and reward programs that are proposed by the theorists to increase happiness, which influence greater company productivity. This chapter shows cases of Colombian and American companies, whose recognition and rewarding practices are aligned with the researcher´s postulates. Among research findings, recognition programs in Colombian companies are more oriented towards a friendly laboral environment and time incentives; whereas American companies focus on incentives based on of money and working from home.
