The \u27happy-productive worker\u27 thesis is a commonsense theory evolved into the \u27performing-managers\u27 proposition. This paper summarises the research that was conducted to develop a Parial Model of managers\u27 affective wellbeing, intrinsic job satisfaction and performance. This lays the groundwork for developing a more comprehensive model of predictors of managers\u27 performance. This represents a far more complete and sopfisticated conceptualisation of the predictors of managers\u27 performance than what is currently available in the literature. Job characteristics, role conflict, role overload, role ambiguity, organisational commitment and extrinsic job satisfaction are introduced as logical extensions to the Partial Model, and are rendered suitable for future verification
