| Abstract: | This study examines the impact of 2 mood dimensions (positive affect and negative affect) on employees' withdrawal behaviour, specifically, on their absenteeism and turnover from an organization. The study of 129 employees of a division of an electronics firm revealed that positive affect reduced absenteeism, while negative affect increased absenteeism and turnover. Job satisfaction moderated the relationship btw. positive affect and absenteeism. These results point to the importance of considering both job attitudes and emotions in efforts to predict and manage employee withdrawal behaviour. |
