Yvette Essounga-Njan, Fayetteville State University

ABSTRACT
This discussion concurs with the extant literature regarding the impact of happiness on productivity while extending the debate to the quandary in which employees usually find themselves: Being paid to happily perform, regardless of the authenticity of this sentiment. In today‟s global organization, the question still remains whether happy employees are indeed productive employees. In this proposal the review is using the example of the US and France to help answer this very question drawing on a theoretical model of equitable employer, happy employees, and productivity. .
