Discussion Post: Job Attitudes and Social Change
We live in an interconnected world where global events can and often do shape the nature of work. All organizations are continually impacted by forces of change-from within and from without. The vicissitudes of the economy, new technology, and even management styles can have profound effects on the world of work and, consequently, the well-being of employees. Many organizational factors have been found to affect job attitudes and, as a result, employee performance and organizational effectiveness.
Consider the implications that positive and negative job attitudes have on people, organizations, and society as a whole. What might organizations do to create and foster positive job attitudes? How might job attitudes affect social change?
