How satisfied are employees at work? The response varies according to the individual, the workplace, and the country. Everyone wants to work for a legitimate company, especially one that offers excellent benefits and pays well.  We learn that understanding the motivational variables that drive employee behavior is critical to creating a more motivated and engaged workforce. Motivation is defined in Chapter 4 as the internal forces that influence the direction, intensity, and persistence of voluntary behavior. Workplace emotion, attitudes, and stress play a huge role in organizational behavior. Employees' moods, emotions, and general behavior have an impact on job performance. This involves decision-making, innovation, collaboration, negotiation, and management. Emotions have an impact on practically everything we do at work. It can be difficult for some people to put their emotions aside at work. They frequently occur before cognitive processes and, as a result, have an impact on them. It describes an employee's emotional and cognitive drive, job self-efficacy, perceived clarity of the organization's vision and his or her unique position in that vision, and belief that he or she has the resources to do the task. Improves organizational performance, which is linked to a higher level of organizational citizenship and a lower likelihood of turnover.

      Employment satisfaction is a person's assessment of his or her job and works environment. Quitting or otherwise leaving the dissatisfying situation, attempting to improve the dissatisfying condition, patiently waiting for the problem to resolve itself, and reducing work effort and performance are four types of job dissatisfaction repercussions. Job satisfaction is related to job performance and customer satisfaction in a modest way. The majority of the time, it is the responsibility of the employer when employees are dissatisfied, resulting in stress and poor work performance. Employers should treat employees with respect and make them feel heard. Nobody wants to work for a company that treats them badly and pays them poorly. Emotions have a big influence on how we think and act. The emotions that we experience on a daily basis can motivate us to act and influence the big and minor decisions we make in life. Emotions might drive us to take action. Emotions aid in decision-making. This is critical in the job since we don't want to get our emotions mixed up at work, especially if we have to make a critical decision, because emotions can cloud our judgment and lead to poor decisions. Many dissatisfied employees are hesitant to express their feelings in response to a direct question because doing so would imply that they made a poor career decision and are not enjoying life. Employees tend to indicate far less happiness with specific areas of their work, demonstrating this inflated outcome. In addition, it has been proven that many employees want to search for work in the coming year or would leave their current employer if the perfect chance arose.

     In chapter 4 we learned that emotions are physiological, behavioral, and psychological events that induce a state of readiness in response to an item, person, or event. Attitudes, on the other hand, are a collection of beliefs, sentiments, and behavioral intentions toward a person, object, or event. Emotions and attitudes are not the same things. For example, judgments regarding an attitude object are included in attitudes. Conscious logical reasoning is required. Attitudes might grow more steady with time. When it comes to emotions, it's about having had experiences with an attitude object. Emotions can also be experienced as occurrences, which are frequently unconsciously and only last a few seconds. Job satisfaction is a person's assessment of his or her job and works environment. It is an assessment of perceived job features, work environment, and work-related emotional events. Based on observations and emotional experiences, satisfied employees have a favorable opinion of their jobs.

      There are five methods for dealing with occupational stress. To manage work-related stress, a variety of strategies are available, such as removing the stressor, retreating from the stressor, modifying stress perceptions, reducing stress effects, and obtaining social support. These five approaches can assist an individual in managing their stress and also boost their job motivation. People deal with stress in a variety of ways. The ideal coping approach is usually determined by the source of stress as well as other factors. Employee motivation is built on the foundations of five factors that we believe are essential for motivating employees: Reward and recognition, development, leadership, work-life balance, and work environment are all important factors to consider. Positive feedback keeps the work environment lively, and motivation is nothing without it. Too much optimism, on the other hand, can come across as dishonest and unproductive.
