| Abstract: | In this research, examined are relationships btw. alternative measures of affect and supervisory performance ratings. The first study showed that dispositional rather than state affect significantly predicted supervisory ratings of performance over time. Since the measures of affect differed on both content and temporal dimensions, a study for follow-up was conducted to explicate the results. The second study found that pleasantness-based measure of dispositional affect again predicted rated performance over time, but activation-based measures of both dispositional and state affect were not predictive of supervisory evaluations of performance. The implications of these findings in terms of research on affect and the longstanding pursuit of the happy-productive worker are discussed. |
