Abstract

Harm comes when companies and individuals don't think first and foremost about the harm that could come from their decisions. Organizations and their leaders who create harm are able to do so because a vast array of people they employ—designers, managers, salespeople, assemblers, secretaries, software developers— and their investors and customers are ignorant of or chose to ignore the harmful impacts of the organization's practices. To examine happiness in the moment, there have been many research studies that question participants during their everyday lives at randomly selected moments via a pager questionnaire or an app. In popular culture, a happy life is often associated with physical attractiveness, having a lot of money, professional success, fame, or social status and its associated symbols, all of which are linked to happiness in advertisements for products and services. But positive psychology research results run contrary to many of these common beliefs.
