The most important attitudes in the workplace

The most important attitude in the workplace is work behavior, which is the primary focus of
managers or supervisors in a company because it allows them to determine how an employee
approaches his or her assigned job in terms of the overall benefit a the company. And so, under
work behavior, there are three factors that allow an individual to have a positive work behavior.
They are: Job satisfaction, Job involvement, and Organizational commitment. Take note that
these three are the positive factors, and the opposite of them are the negative factors which
results in a negative work behavior.

So, Job satisfaction refers to a positive feeling that an individual feels when he/she is satisfied
or happy with his/her job. And this leads to a high level of productivity output by the individual
and this benefits the company as a whole, and this can result from factors such as good salary,
great working environment, etc. Another factor is Job involvement, which refers to the degree or
extent to which an employee views his/her job, and this is also a positive employee attitude. The
more involved an employee becomes in his/her job, the higher is his/her productivity output,
also resulting in lower absenteeism, punctuality, etc. Finally, organizational commitment refers
to the extent to which an employee identifies himself/herself with an organization and the goals,
aims, objectivity, etc. of that organization. This results in an employee’s willingness to comply
with organizational regulations, low absenteeism, etc. Also, this occurs when the organization’s
ideals are in-line with the concerned employee’s ideals.
