Moody Employees Perform Better

A disgruntled employee is a good work force according to a study by Professor Joseph Forgas, University of Wales.


When workers are moody during working hours it would increase the quality of their performance. They make less mistakes, work more concentrated, are less likely to be influenced and have better argumented discussions.

According to Professor Forgas the explanation is simply evolutionary. The brain recognizes negative emotions such as anger and anxiety as positive attributes to keep us alert.
