Influence of Positive Thinking on Work Performance

By Exforsys | on July 19, 2015 |
Positive Thinking

Work is one of the prime contributors of stress. We are also likely to get affected by people we interact with at work, the workload assigned to us by our superiors, the deadlines we are bound to meet, and many other factors. In most cases, the kind of stress we are getting from work is not healthy. It clouds our mind and diminishes our performance to great extent. However, with a positive mind, we can take control of our ability to handle stress and optimize our performance.

Positive thinking implies good and healthy mental attitude. An individual’s mental attitude towards work is an essential attribute that employers look for in potential candidates who will ultimately become an asset to the company. Being a positive career individual can contribute a lot in your work performance and career goals.

During the hiring process, an employer conducts personality tests on job applicants to make sure that the company selects candidates with desirable characters and a positive attitude that is necessary for the job in order to handle and cope with normal levels of stress and pressure. Let us now see what kind of impact does positive thinking creates on individual work performance?

Quick Solutions to Problems at Work

You encounter problems at workplace that require optimal solutions. You need to think out-of-box and constantly resolve issues and handle routine stress and pressure. You cannot complain much since this is the nature of work. Your superior may give you a challenging task or will ask you to work on a huge project. You have piles of workload to finish before the deadline arrives. Though all these appear to be arduous and burdensome, with positive thinking approach and right mental attitude to handle issues, work not only becomes easily manageable but also enjoyable.

For example, your boss entrusted you to lead a big project with a team of incapable members. Instead of whining about it, think that you can succeed by being a good influence to them. Never view it as a failure or a hindrance to your plans.

Encouraging the mind to believe that everything can be accomplished is one of the trait of positive thinking. When the mind is programmed to think positively, there are indeed solutions to every challenge at work. It may not happen in an instant but a positive mind hopes for positive outcome on future workloads. Positive thinking being a good mental attitude is all about seeing the good things out of a negative situation.

Enhanced Work Performance

Definitely, positive mental attitude has a positive effect on your level of performance. Because you do not think of yourself as mediocre and incompetent, your work productivity would also increase. You tend to be able to complete more tasks than you used to. The quality of work can even improve and get better every time.

Moreover, with enhanced work performance, there will be bigger opportunities for career growth and success. Management will recognize your outputs and efforts and will aptly compensate you in ways that are favorable to you. The company can increase your salary, put you a notch higher in rank, or assign more important tasks because they think that you are capable in delivering what needs to be delivered. You will learn to enjoy the work you used to loathe before. You will learn to love what you are doing at work.

Desirable Work Attitude

Another healthy impact of positive thinking on a working individual is developing a desirable work attitude and healthy work habits. The human mind can dominate the way we behave with the kind of thoughts it entertains. The way you feel towards work related stress is lighter and manageable when compared to your response with a mind clouded with distressing thoughts because of heavy workload or a difficult task.

Notice that doing a heavy task is by far easier and faster when you put your heart to it. When your boss assigns you with more workloads than your other office colleagues, then the right approach to this kind of situation is to believe that your boss trusts your abilities more than the rest. We call this as positive thinking.

A positive work attitude can help make work relationships with colleagues better and stronger. You become well-liked for being a happy and optimistic person. They will admire your pleasing personality. The next thing you know, you are already regarded as a leader by your colleagues.

When working with a team, you will get the cooperation of your members because they like working with you. This is not just improving your own work performance but helping others to become better career individuals as well.
