Abstract

This chapter analyzes unhappiness at work in an era in which employees across the globe are publicly demonstrating they are not content with their positions, their leaders and managers, the type of job they perform, or certain work-dependent conditions. The main ideas that explain why employees are not finding joy and happiness at work are described. Job unhappiness is the most common term that is used to describe the phenomenon in which people start rethinking their jobs. Through a literature review, different perspectives about unhappiness at work were collected to present a general overview of what this phenomenon means and the characteristics of employees who are no longer engaged in their jobs.
