Learn how theory of hedonic adaptation can help managers better understand our interpretation of happiness and create a more fulfilling workplace that fosters sustainable satisfaction and boosts employee motivation and performance.

Finally, have you seen how social comparisons accelerate this adaptation - turning every development into a new norm? All this not only impacts our wellbeing and happiness but tangibly affects our motivation.
