Although many consider work to be a necessary evil, work is actually a necessary happiness, only if you know how to be happy at work. The 7 most Frequently Asked Questions on how to be happy at work:
1. Will higher salary make one happier at work?
Unless you are trying to make ends meet, money will not be a great motivator. Once you have enough to live a life that you are used to, unless you have some new expenditure, more money will give you a disproportionate amount of happiness. For example, if you get at 10% salary raise, you will be happier by less than 10%.
2. Does Achieving Progress at Work Make Me Happier?
Definitely. Achievement is a sense of self-worth and all progress, no matter how small, will make your work happier. Note that the same principle for money applies: once you achieved a certain amount of success at work, more achievement will give you a disproportionate amount of happiness.
3. Does Challenging Work Make us Happier or More Unhappy?
Whether your work is challenging or not depends on your skills. If you find it too challenging, you will be unhappy. But if your work is too relaxed, you will be unhappy at work.

Undoubtedly yes. Human beings are social creatures, and our happiness is very dependent on the environment we are in. So if you earn high salary but have colleagues that are very unhelpful, you will not be happy at work.
5. Does Personality Play a Great Part in Happiness of Employees?
The scientific research is yes, up to 50% of a person's happiness at work is due to his personality. So if you are a jaunty person, you will happier at work as compared to a sulky person. That's why it is important to hire the right people for they will form the work environment, which plays a big part in work happiness.
6. Does happiness change with age? Are women more happier than men at work?
Most people will become happier when they reach 50 and above. This is because they are now more balanced in their life's perspective, and thus they will be more grateful and grumble less.
