A total of 713 subjects participated in the experiment in the study. First of all, we divide everyone into four groups and give tasks such as simple calculations, but the four groups are divided into two further subgroups, one subgroup is given the following conditions before work , I tried changing the feelings when I got to work.

· Group I: Show Comedy Movie
· Group II: Show a comedy movie, lengthen the verification period of work
· Group III: Pay chocolate, drinks, fruits etc during work
· Group IV: Take a questionnaire before work and remind us of the most recent sad incident in the family

The subgroup that changed mood in this manner and the other subgroup simultaneously started the task. Based on the results, we verified the difference in productivity between the two.

In Groups I to IIIHappy feelingsInfluence on work, in Group IVUnhappy feelingsIt is obvious that the result shows the tendency shown in the graph below. Each bar graph shows the average value of sampled samples.

◆ Group I: Comedy Movie
The group with the color of the bar graph is the group that saw the comedy, the group which did not see the dark side has become, and you can see that the result of the group which saw the comedy is excellent.


◆ Group II: Comedy Movie + Long-term Verification Period
The same trend as Group I was seen, but it is noticeable especially in men.


◆ Group III: Provide chocolate, drinks, fruits etc during work
It shows that it shows the same tendency as the above two groups, and it is highlighting that the productivity is getting higher as the sense of well-being is still higher.


◆ Group IV: Remind me of the most recent sad incident in my family
A light-colored bar graph shows a group remembered for BLE, which clearly shows that productivity is lower than that of the other group.


In this way, it became clear that in the state where feelings were made happy in advance, the productivity improved by 10 to 12% on average on average compared with the group not so.

About this result, Professor Oswald of the research team said, "Companies such as Google have improved their satisfaction by 37% as a result of investing a lot in supporting their employees.In a scientifically controlled situation, "We know that increasing employee happiness will lead to better corporate performance," he tells about the relationship between happiness and productivity, Dr. Sgroi, a dynamic team, also said, "If you are doing your work with happiness, It seems that time usage becomes efficient and it is possible to improve the production speed without lowering the quality of work. "

In addition, Dr. Proto said, "From the results of the four experiments, it became clear that subjects in happy condition became more productive.The results of the survey showed that a certain amount of productivity management It will point to the direction, "he says the significance of the findings.
