员工幸福的快乐管理探索

管理学发展过程中的各种人性假设往往把入看得过于简单,由此发展起来的管理模式必然不够全面。人性的复杂,要求管理者以系统论的观点、动态性的思维方式认识员工,在此基础上考虑如何有效激发员工工作的积极性与主动性。在现代管理中,管理者应该更多地理解员工的情感,运用快乐管理让员工从工作中获得幸福。     

浅谈幸福指数与人力资源开发

人是生产力诸因素中最积极、最活跃的因素,人力资源是所有资源中最宝贵的资源,人力资源开发是对人这种资源进行获取、整合、保持、激励、控制、调整与开发的过程;幸福指数是衡量人们对自身生存和发展状况的感受和体验,也是构建社会主义和谐社会的重要指标之一.本文拟从人力资源开发与幸福指数的关系入手,探讨加强人力资源开发的具体路径.

经济增长发展、社会发展与国民快乐、幸福的关系

经济增长不等于经济发展。经济增长侧重量的变化和积累;经济发展注重质的演进和提升。经济发展亦不等于社会发展。经济发展只是社会发展的必要条件而非充要条件。经济增长只能让人们产生短暂的快乐,惟有包括经济发展在内的社会发展方能给人们带来长久的幸福。     

经济发展与国民幸福快乐的关系及意义

经济增长和经济发展是实现国民幸福与快乐的必要手段,国民幸福与快乐是经济增长和经济发展的终极目的和精神动力。处理好它们间这种辩证关系,对于国家确立"以人为本、为民谋福"的经济发展目标,对于改善民生问题和建设和谐社会,对于政府公共政策转变,对于国民增强"劳动创造幸福"、"劳动是幸福之源"的观念,对于在新时期寻找经济增长和经济发展的人的精神原因等,都具有重要的现实意义。     

人的发展程度是测量幸福快乐的根本标准——关于“快乐经济学”之我见

在"快乐经济学"的讨论中,有些学者对幸福快乐的理解,较集中于消费领域以及人在消费中的主观感受。该文主张把讨论纳入以经济为核心的轨道,视经济活动中人的全面自由发展为幸福快乐的客观基础,以人的全面自由发展程度为测量幸福快乐的客观标志。我国目前劳动的外在强制性依然存在,总体生产力水平偏低,对规律的认识掌握还不充分,旧式分工以及由此带来的贫富差距、地位差别还很严重。为此,要正确认识我国国民目前的幸福快乐程度,从各方面不懈努力,自觉促进人的全面自由发展,以提高全体国民的幸福快乐程度。     

国民幸福总值(GNH)的启示与国民幸福研究

将微观幸福与社会经济发展和国家治理结合起来考量,是一种创新性研究.不丹等国整体人文发展情况与GDP增长的逆态势以及诸多著名学者均致力于"国民幸福总值"的研究,说明国民幸福是衡量社会和谐发展的重要依据.通过对GNH理论的研究,指出NHI较之GNH衡量国民幸福更为恰当,并提出构建以NHI为核心的多维度国民幸福指标体系.     

浅谈弗洛姆幸福思想中的生产性内涵及其当代启示

生产性是弗洛姆思想的主要内容。生产性不仅是人运用其自身的能量,实现内在于自身的潜在的力量,更是一种人生态度,一种积极的人生实践方式。在生产性行为中,人的潜能得以充分实现,完成了人与自身、人与外界的完美结合。在这种物我一体的人生体验中,人的情感,乃至生命得以升华,人达到了一种自足的状态。生产性是弗洛姆幸福思想的核心。     

聊城幸福素描

假如有人问你：朋友,你幸福吗？可能你会一愣。然而,你若是问到聊城人,答案几乎是肯定的：我们感到很幸福。     

论企业行为对社会幸福的影响

改革开放以来,社会经济飞速发展,社会财富迅猛增加,人民生活水平也有了一定的提高。在这一背景下,虽然社会整体发展状况良好,社会成员的生活质量有了显著的提高,但是人们对于生活幸福度的感知及认同并不高,并表现出不同的状态。这有可能引发出各种社会问题。特别是对于工作待遇的担忧、食品安全的担心、生活环境的困扰,等等。因此,分析了企业行为对社会幸福的双重影响,并就这些影响做出了深入分析,提出了如何在企业行为与社会幸福之间建立起有机联系的思考。     

The determinants of marital happiness

This study contributes to the literature by providing an empirical analysis of the determinants of marital and general happiness. The empirical analysis is conducted using US data from the General Social Survey (GSS) and an Ordered Probit Model. We also attempt to overcome the endogeneity problem between marital happiness and infidelity using a recursive bivariate probit model. One of the advances of this study is to show that the determinants of marital happiness differ between men and women in interesting ways. While infidelity has similar effects for both sexes, we find that women have a detectable preference for a traditional division of labour within the household. In addition, social class, religion, age, children and income have differential effects between men and women. In particular, for marital happiness we find diminishing returns from household income for women and satiation for men. Hence, we find that most of the existing literature has left hidden important differences in the determinants of marital happiness between men and women.     

The U-shape of happiness in Scotland

We examine well-being in Scotland using micro data from the Scottish Health Survey and the UK Annual Population Surveys. We find evidence of a midlife nadir or zenith in Scotland in well-being at around age 50 using a variety of measures of both happiness and unhappiness. We confirm that higher consumption of fruit and vegetables is associated with higher levels of happiness in Scotland. We compare this with evidence for England from the Health Survey of England. The decline in well-being between youth and midlife is comparable in size to the loss of a spouse or of a job and around half of the fall in well-being in the COVID-19 lockdown. We also find a midlife peak in suicides in Scotland. Despite higher mortality and suicide rates in Scotland than in England, paradoxically we find that the Scots are happier than the English. Northern Ireland is the happiest of the four home countries. We also find evidence of U-shapes in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in the mid to late forties.     

Obesity and happiness

This article provides insight on the relationship between individual obesity and happiness levels. Using the latest available panel data from Germany German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), UK British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), and Australia Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA), we examine whether there is statistical evidence on the impact of overweight on subjective well-being. Instrumental Variable (IV) analysis is utilized under the presence of endogeneity, stemming from several explanatory variables. Results indicate that in all three countries obesity has a negative effect on the subjective well-being of individuals. The results also have important implications for the effect of other socio-demographic, economic and individual characteristics on well-being.     

Impact of unemployment on happiness in the United States

This study considers the level of demonstrated happiness and unhappiness, the latter measured by the conditional probability of committing suicide within groups that are facing a higher unemployment rate and those that are not. Using individual-level US data from 1989 to 2004, our findings indicate that individuals have lower rates of suicide or are ‘happy’ when they live in a state that has lower unemployment rate.     

员工福利与幸福感关系分析

随着经济社会不断发展,员工对福利的要求更加多元化,企业对满足员工福利,提升员工幸福感也更为重视。如何制定合理的福利制度,进而提升员工的幸福感,促进员工更好为企业创造价值是每个企业必须重视的问题。通过文献查询、调研分析等方法,将员工福利进行了科学划分,对各类福利与员工幸福感的关系进行了分析,并对企业如何通过建立合理的福利制度来提升员工幸福感提出了建议,为企业完善福利制度,提升员工幸福感水平提供了依据。     

Rhythms and cycles in happiness

This study analyses time-dependent rhythms in happiness in three aspects. We show that the Sunday neurosis exists exclusively for men with a medium level of education and both men and women with high levels of education. Men with high levels of education may even experience a weekend neurosis. This study is the first to test for intra-monthly rhythms and to demonstrate that men with a lower educational background may suffer from negative effects on happiness towards the end of the month, potentially because of liquidity problems. The study is also the first to demonstrate that happiness exhibits seasonal effects over the annual period, depending on gender and education.     

Scitovsky's The Joyless Economy and the economics of happiness

Abstract

Scitovsky's The Joyless Economy is especially well-known in recent economic studies on happiness. However, his insightful contributions have not been taken up as they deserve, mainly because they were, and still are, too original. By reconstructing Scitovsky's analysis on the basis of all his relevant writings, this article integrates his most original concepts, such as novelty, consumption skill, endogenous preferences, pleasurable uncertainty, into conventional economics; it compares Scitovsky's analysis to the economic thought of his time and to current consumer theory and it reveals his contributions to happiness economics, such as an original interpretation of the Easterlin paradox.     

Increasing consumer well-being: risk as potential driver of happiness

This article investigates the relation between risk and individual well-being. We propose a theoretical model of happiness that makes a distinction between ex ante evaluations of happiness and ex post assessments. The main assumptions of the model are tested through three studies based on anchoring vignettes. We show that, even if, ex ante, consumers fear high risk and do not associate it to a high level of happiness, their ex post evaluation of well-being is generally higher when identical consequences result from a high-risk situation than from a low-risk situation. Control over risk-taking reinforces the gap between ex ante and ex post measures of happiness. Thus, our article provides empirical evidence about a positive relation between risk and individual well-being, suggesting that risky experiences have the potential to increase consumer well-being.     

Cooperatives and happiness. Cross-country evidence on the role of relational capital

Why is the share of happy people higher in some countries than in their equally developed neighbours? We conjecture that the apparent contradiction might depend on a country’s endowment of relational capital, which we proxy empirically with the extent of cooperativeness. In particular, within the black box of social capital, we consider relational capital as the outcome of the civil economy paradigm and use cooperativeness as the macro and objective proxy of long term face-to-face interaction. Compiling an index of the importance of the cooperative sector, we test whether more cooperativeness associates with more happiness controlling for countries’ HDI and other control variables. Checking for endogeneity, using various country samples, and through different regression methods we find support for our hypothesis. This suggests that, indeed, an institutionalized cooperative culture can promote happiness.
