“…Expanding upon the multi-faceted understanding of flow, a more nuanced exploration of its relationship with happiness is paramount. The literature in positive psychology acknowledges a connection between flow states and happiness, but empirical findings confirm that they are not mutually inclusive experiences (Engeser et al, 2023;Tappolet, 2022). This aligns with Csikszentmihalyi's (2008) predictions, indicating that the attainment of a flow state precedes the experience of happiness.…”

“…Taking into account the literature studies previously mentioned, we can say that there is a relationship between personality traits, such as extraversion, conscientiousness, and emotional stability, and the state of flow (Ullén et al, 2012;Vorkapić & Gović, 2016). Also, the studies by Margolis and Lyubomirsky (2019) and by Stieger et al ( , 2021 have shown that behavioral manifestations of several personality traits are possible and lead to an increased state of flow, which over time leads to an increase in general happiness (Engeser et al, 2023;Tappolet, 2022). Thus, based on experimental design, this study adds empirical evidence about the causal relationships between behavioral aspects of personality traits and experiencing the flow, based on behavioral change intervention.…”

The present study aimed to investigate experimentally how flow, as a state, is influenced by inducing behaviors specific to conscientiousness, extraversion, and emotional stability in daily activities for ten days. Informed by prior research, an intervention was developed, requiring participants to adopt behaviors associated with these three dimensions. The methodology used was to randomize participants into two groups, one group benefiting from intervention and the other being a control group. Initial measurements were taken using a dispositional flow scale and a personality inventory. Subsequently, a flow state scale was applied on the 4th, 7th, and 10th days. The main findings indicated a significant increase in the flow of experience and subjective happiness for the experimental group compared to the control group. The study's conclusions suggest that it is possible to act more extraverted, conscientious, and emotionally stable in daily life, and doing so can potentially lead to an enhancement in the flow state. We discussed the practical implications in organizations.

Well-Being as Fitting Happiness

Fittingness

There is an intuitive connection between well-being and happiness. Accordingly, many theories of well-being hold that well-being consists in (either unqualified or properly qualified) happiness. Traditional happiness-based theories are subject, however, to several important objections. The goal in this chapter is to offer a new happiness-based theory that is immune to the main objections raised against traditional happiness-based theories. The authors’ own fitting happiness theory of well-being can be seen as the combination of the following claims. The first is that happiness consists in a broadly positive balance of affective states such as emotions, moods, and sensory pleasures. The second is that emotions, moods, and sensory pleasures are different kinds of perceptual experiences of evaluative properties. The third claim is that, insofar as happiness is constituted by states that have fittingness conditions, it is possible to assess happiness itself as fitting or unfitting. The last claim is that well-being consists in fitting happiness thus defined.
