International Happiness: A Multilevel Perspective
评论Blanchflower和Oswald关于国际幸福感的研究，指出金钱能买幸福但国家幸福感不随经济增长而提升，强调幸福感取决于分析层次，对组织行为学者和职场情绪研究者有参考价值。
Executive Overview Blanchflower and Oswald (2011) present a review of statistical accounts of international happiness, and argue that subjective measures of international happiness need to be considered. They cite studies showing that money can and does buy happiness, thus disputing the adage that “money does not buy happiness,” but they also acknowledge the paradoxical finding that national happiness does not seem to increase with economic growth. In this commentary, some of the recent research on happiness at work is reviewed from the perspective of an organizational behaviorist and scholar of emotions in the workplace. A key conclusion is that happiness and the processes associated with happiness depend on perspective, especially level of analysis. In particular, there is no reason for cross-national correlations of prosperity and happiness to equal the correlation of prosperity and happiness over time within any particular nation.
