Abstract: This research examined relations among several commonly considered indicators of affective-based 'happiness - unhappiness' in organizational research with job performance ratings. While psychological well-being predicted job performance, the results failed to establish relations among emotional exhaustion, positive affectivity (PA) and negative affectivity (NA) as correlates of job performance. Suggestions and implications for future research are introduced.

Keywords: Happiness; unhappiness; psychological well-being; emotional exhaustion; job performance; positive affectivity; negative affectivity.
