The happy-productive worker thesis (HPWT) is considered the Holy Grail of management research, and it proposes caeteris paribus, happy workers show higher performance than their unhappy counterparts. However, eudaimonic well-being in the relationship between happiness and performance has been understudied. This paper provides a systematized review of empirical evidence in order to make a theoretical contribution to the happy-productive worker thesis from a eudaimonic perspective. Our review covers 105 quantitative studies and 188 relationships between eudaimonic well-being and performance. Results reveal that analyzing the eudaimonic facet of well-being provides general support for the HPWT and a much more comprehensive understanding of how it has been studied. However, some gaps and nuances are identified and discussed, opening up challenging avenues for future empirical research to clarify important questions about the relationship between happiness and performance in organizations.

La psicología del trabajo y las organizaciones presta especial atención tanto al bienestar de los trabajadores, como a su eficacia y eficiencia. La presente revisión sistemática analiza un conjunto de estudios que se centran en la relación entre el bienestar y el desempeño laboral, en las organizaciones del ámbito iberoamericano. El análisis de los resultados obtenidos supone una aportación en varios ámbitos: 1) la riqueza en la operacionalización de dimensiones del bienestar y del desempeño en la disciplina; 2) la complejidad de las relaciones entre los dos constructos y la existencia de patrones que no se ajustan a lo establecido por la tesis del trabajador feliz y productivo; 3) la existencia de antecedentes, mediadores y moderadores de dicha relación; 4) la importancia de considerar las relaciones entre bienestar y desempeño a nivel colectivo; y 5) la necesidad de considerar el factor tiempo para entender los cambios y dinámica de estos fenómenos. El trabajo concluye señalando los avances en estas cuestiones, los replanteamientos en la investigación a partir de los desarrollos en Iberoamérica y la propuesta de diversos aspectos a tomar en consideración en la investigación futura.

The importance of the quality of leader member exchange (LMX) for workers' health and well-being is acknowledged in the literature, and empirical research addressing this issue is beginning to accumulate. However, recent reviews on this topic recommend making a greater effort to include time and boundary conditions in this relationship. The present study aims to analyze the effects of LMX on employees' well-being, and the moderating role of psychological climate, by means of a longitudinal study with a 12-month time lag. Data were obtained from 119 employees working in the Public Health Service . Results show that LMX had concurrent and lagged positive effects on well-being. Perceptions of higher levels of innovation climate increased the positive effects of LMX on well-being. Perceptions of higher levels of goals orientation decreased the positive effects of LMX on well-being. In practical terms, organizations must pay attention to the environment where LMX emerges in order to promote its positive effects or reduce its potential negative effects on workers' health.
