A Positive Attitude leads to success and happiness. A
positive attitude helps to cope more easily with daily
affairs of life. It brings optimism into life and makes it
easier to avoid worries and negative thinking.

DO" positive attitude is what will take you to the
next level."

3. Positive Attitude Of Worker
Organization looking for ways to improve worker's productivity
can start by evaluating the attitude their employees bring to
the job each day. A positive or negative attitude affects how
workers approach their jobs, and attitudes can have a ripple
effect on those around them. In general, a positive attitude will
have a positive impact on productivity, while the reverse is also
true.
The Attitude of Worker is Three Dimensional
 Towards the Organisation.
 Towards the Superior.
 Towards the Co-Worker.

4. The effect attitude has on Workplace Productivity
1. Adaptation to Change:- Work Environments changes
frequently as companies update work procedures, introduce
improved technology and add new products and customers.
Employees who display a Positive Attitude toward change may
welcome and even embrace it, as they may view it as a chance
to enhance their skills. As a result, they may adapt to change
more quickly than an employee with a negative attitude,
reducing the time it takes to implement change in a
productive manner.
2. Innovation: -Workers with a Positive Attitude towards their
job and the company are more likely to make helpful
suggestions or ideas that help the business to grow. On the
other hand, workers with a negative attitude may only be
concerned with producing enough to get by while having little
interest in innovation.

5. The effect attitude has on Workplace Productivity
3. Validation: - Where there is prevailing negative attitude in an
organization then say for an example, the announcement of a
drop in revenue, is met with expectation rather than creating
a sense of urgency. On the contrary if the same announcement
is made in a workplace with a positive attitude, it would be
met with the sense that something in the business process is
not working properly and must be rectified. The prevailing
sense of optimism in the face of bad news helps validate the
strong feeling of teamwork the company has developed.
4. Competition:- with a positive attitude, competition is seen as
a motivator that inspires employees to perform at their best to
improve productivity. Whereas negative attitude restricts
creativity.
5. Retention: needless to say, positive attitude encourages
workers to involve more in company's work and they feel
motivated and perform their work more enthusiastically.
Negative attitude increases employee turnover.

6. Towards the superior
Negative attitude towards superior
 Cognitive: - Supervisor gave promotion to co-worker who
is less competent than me. he is unfair.
 Affective :- I dislike my superior
 Behavioural: - Looking for another work, complained
about it to someone who would listen.

7. How to offset negative attitude
There are several steps to be followed by the organization to
remove the negative attitude of the workers at the
workplace:-
Step 1:- Observe their work, note negative interactions among
employees. If their act contradicts the company's policy or
guidelines then take necessary corrective actions immediately.
Step 2:- Conduct employee’s surveys by taking their opinion on the
working conditions such as about the machinery, lighting,
seating or proximity which tends to their negative attitude or
contradictory behaviour.
Step 3:- Have a healthy conversation with the workers, listen to
their requests, appreciate their performance, and provide
training to improve further performance.
Step 4:-Analyze the worker’s attitude with the supervisor. Review
their personnel details, performance appraisals, attendance
records and disciplinary reviews. Point and note down the areas
which lead to their change in behaviour and direct the
supervisor to rectify and corrective actions regarding the same.

8. Towards their co-workers
Teamwork:- The attitude of workers is determined how they work with
each other as a team. The worker having positive attitude work with co-
ordination, co-operation and with peace and harmony with the co-
workers. The worker having negative attitude will have competition,
jealousy towards the co-workers leading to conflicts and disharmony in the
organisation.
Greet each other: The worker shall great each other thereby leading to a
co-operative environment in the organisation and developing mutual
harmonious relation.
Avoid gossip: The worker having positive attitude avoids gossip about each
other. When a co-worker slides up to you bearing some gossip about
someone’s impending firing, respond with, “really?”. Then change the
subject and get back to work. Whereas worker having negative attitude
will show his interest towards the prevailing gossips in the company and
thereby leading to reduced productivity due to diversion in the attention.
