You’ve Got an Attitude (Improving Your Attitude)

Sections of this topic

    A person’s attitude represents how they feel or their state
    of mind about something. For example, one can have a good (or
    positive) attitude toward their work, usually meaning that they
    feel good about their work, their job, their organization, etc.
    Many features of working in an organization can cause a person
    to have a poor attitude about their jobs and organizations (that
    is, they feel bad about their jobs and organizations), e.g., inadequate
    compensation, conflicts with their supervisor, inconsistent or
    conflicting communications from senior management, unfulfilling
    work, hostile communications between employees, etc. Some people
    adopt a poor attitude because that is their way “of being
    in the world,” i.e., they often resent their environment no
    matter what is going on around them. Some people feel poorly about
    themselves, which affects their attitude about their environment,
    as well. In contrast, some people work hard to keep a positive
    attitude. These people often have better overall health and can
    effectively address major challenges in the workplace, as well.
