Abstract
Workplace happiness was conducive for enhancing productivity, work quality, innovation, creativity and energy while promoting financial and physical well-being at the same time. Happiness at work had been deemed essential, and it was dependent upon an individual's gender, age and area of work. Invariably, it was beneficial for the employer, employee as well as the society. Happiness resulted in the positive emotions of enthusiasm, interest and contentment. However, the co-relation between happiness and employment was multifaceted and dynamic in nature. Globally, it was perceived that women were happier than men at workplace, though their sources of happiness varied. Men were happy with wealth while women found happiness from friendships and relationships with partners and family. Analysts argued that women's happiness was more enduring as it was based on non-economic factors. Women considered workplace flexibility as the pivotal factor for their career growth as it influenced their work-life balance. However, women's struggle for balance was greater as they mostly shouldered major household related responsibilities. Women's professional careers were also beset with many myths which adversely influenced their workplace happiness. With this backdrop, it was pertinent to analyse, whether women were indeed happier than men in workplace?
