✦ Synopsis

Ledford's commentary on our paper titled, `Aect and favorable work outcomes: Two longitudinal tests of the happy±productive worker thesis', is a thought-provoking attempt to place the research and its ®ndings in a larger theoretical context. His comments address three general questions. First, why have so many academics and practitioners alike been willing to accept the existence of the happy±productive worker relationship? Second, to what extent do Wright and Staw's ®ndings shed additional light on the happy±productive worker thesis? Finally, what are the study's implications for future research? We will comment brie¯y on each of these issues.
