How could at least some level of happiness at work not matter? We spend most of our waking hours there (and more if you add in going to work, coming home from it, and thinking about it while awake). Life fulfilling bliss, maybe not, but total unhappiness just won't work in that kind of concentration.

Of course it matters! Not just for the employee but also for the employer. A happy employee will not go jobhunting.

I am evidence that it matters alot. I quit my job as a nurse last year because I started my own home based business. I love it and am a completely changed person, for the better. I am happy, free and am enjoying my life now that I have changed jobs. My job as a nurse was fine, but my new business is positive, inspiring and motivating... it has made all the difference in my life.
