    Emotions in the Workplace

    • 941 Words
    • 3 Pages

    One concept that makes some organizations ineffective at managing emotions is emotional labor. Emotional labor is an employee’s expression of organizationally desired emotions during interpersonal transactions at work (Pearson Chapter 4, p 101). Wha’s (2012) article explains the consequences associated emotional labor. How one presents themselves to a customer or another co-worker can change the perception of quality, loyalty, satisfaction, and productivity. This may work well for an organization’s success, but can have a negative impact on a workers well-being, job satisfaction, emotional exhaustion, and turnover (Wha, 2012). It is important for employees to know when and how to act on their emotions. This task should be assigned to the manager and a leading objective of the senior leadership team. Organizations tend to not have extensive training on organizationally desired emotions and if they had, there would be a decline in these negative consequences of emotional labor.…

    The most-used research definition of job satisfaction is by Locke (1976), who defined it as “. . . a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job or job experiences” (p. 1304). Implicit in Locke’s definition is the importance of both affect, or feeling, and cognition, or thinking. When we think, we have feelings about what we think. Conversely, when we have feelings, we think about what we feel. Cognition and affect are thus inextricably linked, in our psychology and even in our…

    Emotions in the workplace play a large role in how an entire organization communicates within itself and to the outside world. “Events at work have real emotional impact on participants. The consequences of emotional states in the workplace, both behavioral and attitudinal, have substantial significance for individuals, groups, and society”.[1] “Positive emotions in the workplace help employees obtain favorable outcomes including achievement, job enrichment and higher quality social context”.[2] “Negative emotions, such as fear,anger, stress, hostility, sadness, and guilt, however increase the predictability of workplace deviance,”,[3] and how the outside world views the organization.…

    Measuring Job Satisfaction Our definition of job satisfaction—a positive feeling about a job resulting from an evaluation of its characteristics—is clearly broad. 30 Yet that breadth is appropriate. A job is more than just shuffling papers, writing programming code, waiting on customers, or driving a truck. Jobs require interacting with co-workers and bosses, following organizational rules and policies, meeting performance standards, living with less than ideal working conditions, and the like.…

    Job Satisfaction

    • 6 Pages

    Job satisfaction has been defined as a pleasurable emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job;[1] an affective reaction to one’s job;[2] and an attitude towards one’s job.[3] Weiss (2002) has argued that job satisfaction is an attitude but points out that researchers should clearly distinguish the objects of cognitive evaluation which are affect (emotion), beliefs and behaviours.[4] This definition suggests that we form attitudes towards our jobs by taking into account our feelings, our beliefs, and our behaviors.…
