On the other hand, this employee’s positive attitudes followed by effective work contributions will influence others in the workplace and will lead them to become effective employees.
Employees with negative attitude will create annoyance or contribute ineffectually to other of their colleagues inside an organization. Such as this, other employees can be affected easily. So the more we have positive attitudes, the more we will be recognized, improved and become a productive
