Employees who reported positive emotions during the first measurement period received greater support from both colleagues and supervisors when followed up more than a year later (Staw et al., 1994). Furthermore, supervisors rated those same employees more favorably. Other researchers have replicated the finding that happy employees, when compared with their less happy colleagues, receive more positive evaluations from their superiors up to several years after positive emotions were measured (e.g., Cropanzano & Wright, 1999; Wright & Staw, 1999
