Happiness at workplace is important for both individuals and organizations, as it is known to increase and sustain employee productivity. The present study assesses the personality and wellbeing attributes of agricultural scientists to find out any differences in these attributes between the scientists working in two different organizations viz., Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and State Agricultural Universities (SAUs).
