Abstract

This study demonstrates that when two intrinsic characteristics—the feeling of liking work versus the feeling of doing it well—are pitted against each other, an individual’s level of happiness plays an important role in career decision-making process. Results indicate that happy people prioritize work they like over work they do well.
