Conclusion
Work
attitudes are our feelings toward our company and job. Job satisfaction
and organizational commitment are related to many outcomes of interest,
such as absenteeism, performance, and turnover. Therefore, companies
track feelings toward work and try to create more positive attitudes.
The main behaviors that contribute to organizational effectiveness are
job performance, citizenship behaviors, absenteeism, and turnover. These
behaviors are affected by a complex blend of personality and
situational factors, and factors affecting these behaviors and work
attitudes will be examined in more detail in other chapters of this
book.
