Numerous experiments and research studies have shown the significant impact of emotions on
employee productivity. Emotions can influence cognitive processes, motivation, decision-making,
and overall job performance.
Some examples of the relationship between emotions and employee productivity found from
researches includes:
 Positive moods enhance cognitive abilities, motivation, and engagement, leading to better
problem-solving and decision-making.
 Emotions are contagious among colleagues, influencing overall mood and productivity.
 Negative emotions, chronic stress, and burnout can impair productivity by causing exhaustion and
reduced focus.
 Effective emotional regulation positively impacts job performance.
 Emotions also influence decision-making processes, with positive emotions leading to more
innovative choices.
