A worker attitude towards work is directly linked to the job satisfaction; a worker who is satisfied with his job performs better and excels at what he does. A study (Harvard University) found that when a person gets a job or a promotion, 85% of the time it is because of attitude, and only 15% of the time because of intelligence and knowledge of specific facts and figures. Employees attitude are vital to organization, because when attitudes are positive they are reason for success of organization and when negative, they are both a symptom of underlying problem and a contributing cause of forthcoming difficulties in an organization. Decaling attitude may result in strike, low performance, poor product quality and shabby customer, work slowdowns, absences and employees turnover.
