2016). Reich and Hershcovis (2015) states employees who have a bad attitude in the
workplace get agitated very easily by small issues and the tasks or jobs are done at very
substandard levels. Thus, it is very important for employees in an organisation to perform
their job with positive attitude which helps them in being motivated in order to be fruitful and
productive for an organisation.
Erdogan, Bauer and Taylor (2015) state employees having a positive attitude make
the environment of the workplace fun and they are productive and perform without any
complaint which reflects on the quality of the work they do. It is not only important for
employees to have a positive attitude in the workplace but also the workplace needs to be
operated with a positive attitude which has an effect on all the employees, the clients and also
on the owner of the company. Attitudes help in developing and creating a prevailing
environment in the workplace which determines productivity, abilities in terms of team
building and employee morale.
Positive attitude in the workplace have many benefits in an organisation which
contributes to the motivation of the people in an organisation. This helps in creating a
positive workplace environment and also helps in achieving the goals of the employee
themselves as well as the goals of an organisation. The attitude has a huge role to play in the
outlook of an employee which results in taking better decisions for an organisation, handling
teams and subordinates, motivate other positively and increases the energy of the people.
Organisations before hiring employees apart from their qualifications and other skills
also check their attitude towards their approach to work and their perspectives to ensure they
hire employees who have a positive attitude which will highly help in the productivity and
the operations of the organisation and will also help in keeping the employees motivated to
challenge themselves and perform better.
