Can Happiness affect performance, espeically in a work environment?

.. in a negative way? This sounds like a weird question, but it got me thinking. I am a happy & carefree person who enjoys laughing. I have had compliments from co-workers on my personality, and how my laughter makes them smile. However, my boss assumes my happiness affects my work performance. I do not understand, I am punctual, and get my projects complete in a timely manner. Again, my question... is this really an issue at work? Do I need to tone down my personality and save it for outside of work?

If you have had this similar experience, feel free to explain.
