Organizational behavior 'rediscovers' the role of emotional well-being

Article Abstract:

The employee's emotional well-being plays an integral part in the different aspects of the employee's work life. However, there is need to develop the role of emotional well-being or affect-related issues in organizational research. Future research must address emotional well-being's preconditional factors that may contribute to work performance, absenteeism, turnover, and occupational injury. Moreover, different antecedent behaviors that may lead different expressions of emotional well-being must also be considered.
