Describe the consequences of negative employee job attitudes. Discussion: Job Attitudes

Both employers and employees prize positive job attitudes. In fact, one theorist described the link between employee attitudes and job performance as the “Holy Grail” of organizational psychology (Landy, 1989). Research indicates that certain critical interpersonal and organizational factors influence employee attitudes (Heavey, Halliday, Gilbert, & Murphy, 2011; Kidwell & Valentine, 2009). Although that which affects one employee’s attitudes may not affect another’s, most I/O psychologists agree that attitudes affect organizational practices such as work attendance, work engagement, and interactions with co-workers.
