The Impact of Mood of Employees on the Organisational Commitment with Mediating Effect of Workplace Environment- A Field Experience Study

Abstract

Analysis by the World Economic Forum indicates that there is a direct correlation between the workforce's happiness levels and the company's performance. Affect, in psychology, refers to the underlying experience of feeling, emotion, or mood. Affect refers to the feelings that employees experience as part of life and includes both moods and emotions. The circumflex model of effect proposes that all affective states arise from two fundamental neurophysiologic systems, one related to pleasure–displeasure continuum and the other to arousal. This study emphasizes the effectiveness of the employee in the workplace with their organizational commitment to the mediating effect of the workplace environment. Organizational commitment is an individual's psychological attachment to the organization. The workplace environment is an essential component of work life for employees as employees spend a significant part of their time at work, and it affects them in one way or the other. The workplace environment also includes the psychological aspects of how employees work and their well-being at work. The study has created the eye opening for the organization to focus on the workplace environment since the result shows that the workplace environment influences the feel of the employees when they enter the office. The result shows that there is a positive correlation between commitment and workplace environment. The results also prove no correlation between mood and workplace environment. It also proves that mood has a positive correlation with commitment. Those who feel the workplace environment is good their commitment level is also high.  The organization can focus on soft skill training for the employees. The workplace environment has to be focused more since it influences the commitment level of employees. In order to improve the mood, activities can be done once in a month.
