The value of a positive behavior within the workplace.?
356836
Your employer pays your salary because your performance on the job is truly needed. They're depending on you. They need you to show up and do your best. They aren't paying for anything less. And your coworkers depend on you, too. You want to make their work lives easier, not harder. Positive thinking and positive behavior have immense value in the workplace. And will be greatly appreciated!

"keep your thoughts positive...Your thoughts become your words.\n\nKeep your words positive...Your words become your actions.\n\nKeep your actions positive...Your actions become your destiny!"\n\n---Words to live by!\n\n\n\n\n\nBefore the class even starts pull the instructor aside and let then know that you are uncomfortable.  But, this shows you are unwilling to accept change.\n\nHave a positive attitude and TRY.  Some of these role plays are REALLY stupid and boring, but some of them really open up lines of communication with your co-workers that were closed before.  You may learn something new.\n\nNever be closed minded about things.  You should not feel demeaned.  that is not the intent of the role plays.  I have had to do ALOT of them over the years and have to lead a few.  Since you have been at your job for so long, you will be looked upon by your co-workers to set the tone of the room.  If you have a sour attitude, they will also and the role plays are no go for any of you.\n\nBut, if you let go of the hostility and say "Aw, what the hell, I'll give it a try" then others will follow you and you will have created a less tense situation.

Something that is really special about your job and which makes it stand out in your opinion.\n\nIf this is for a performance evaluation, put some serious effort into coming up with an answer.  Your promotablilty and salary depend on it.

I get strength through my Faith in myself, my abilities, my capability to get better.  I am not very successful in many walks of life, yet believing in myself gets me going the rihgt direction.  I can apply myself to work much more readily knowing that I will feel good later.  I can reward myself after working.  Faith in my ability gets me going, and keeps me going.

How about doing something no employer has ever done before?  Look at the amount of work an employee does, the quality of their work, their attitude towards the job (do they do as little as possible?  Or volunteer when something special needs to be done?) whether they work or spend most of the day doing personal things, and whether they are usually late or on time, and reward those doing the best?

There was a sociologist named Herzberg who did a big study on what works and what doesn't for motivating employees.  If you look him up online or at the library, I'm sure you'll find plenty of material for a great speech on motivation.

You need a positive attitude in order to succeed in the business world today. Negative attitude you'll be stressed before you even get to work. I am in the service industry working for huge oil sands they don't appreciate bad attitudes, it also rubs off on your co-workers. I can't stand working with negative people it just brings me down. They are looking for people with a great attitude with people skills.

I try to figure out what perceived reward the student is getting...\nbeing able to get out of work?\npeer entertainment/approval?\nattention from me?\n\n\nI then attempt to provide that reward for behaving correctly.\n\nFinish 3 assignments, get excused from an assignment.\nSeating behind the bookcases away from peers but in line-of-sight to me.... earn in-class seating back for quietly doing your work.\n\nCirculate close to the student more often when he/she is on-task. Make a point of reviewing the student's work in front of the student, commenting positively on each good response.\n\nAnd so on.\n\nWith patience, using the desired reward as a reinforcer for good behavior does work very well... after a short period of time where the student's misbehavior increases. You just have to "ride the storm" and stay consistent in your responses.

When people know that they are going to be evaluated, especially if it could mean a raise, that is an incentive to increase performance. It gives a sense of competition, not just with other employees but with ones self. Something like performance evaluation reminds people of their duties and encourages them to do them efficiently, it also gives a sense of organization to the company itself along with other company implied techniques.

Not in question form. However, I believe that in all jobs there are plenty of slackers and a boatload of mediocre employeees. The people that work very hard and take initiative to do extra is a rare find (everyone has there moments, but who really cares enough to work hard regulary.) Here's your answer, caring about self dignity and having discipline to get the full job done through initiative and sweat, is the rarest form of a standard wage employee, all others just don't care enough about it.

People get caught up in the competitiveness of the situation. Rewards aren't necessary. It is the idea of doing a good job.\n\nI think that is good. It encourages participation.

Give them positive incentives.  If they meet their work goals they get their basic salary.  If they exceed them they get a bonus.  Encourage the positive more than discouraging the negative.

First off, are they worth the raise?  If so it is best to sit with this employee and explain that if they want this huge raise they will  have to improve their attitude/moodiness.  Give them a type of probationary period like 90 days and if they improve then go ahead with the raise.  This employee may not even know it.  And always start out with a positive...a good thing about this employee.  You dont want all negatives.
