Job attitudes can influence our home life. A positive mood at work can spill over to your off-work hours, and a negative mood at work can be restored to a positive mood after a break.
Deviant workplace behaviors are often the result of negative emotions and significantly impact the workplace.
Negative emotions can also lead to increased injuries at work. Employees in negative moods tend to be more anxious, which can make them less able to cope effectively with hazards. Negative moods also make people more distractable – leading to careful behaviors.
