In the past few decades, the popular belief in the area of organizational behavior and psychology has been that    【小题1】    workers are better workers. However, new research at the University of Alberta shows that sad workers are more    【小题2】    .
Psychologist Dr. Robert Sinclair recently conducted a series of four studies 【小题3】   the effects of experimentally induced ( 诱发的 ) happiness versus sadness on work    【小题4】     by asking the participants to build circuit boards. In the first study, sad people committed    【小题5】     few errors than did happy people, but there was no difference in the number of boards    【小题6】    .
In similar studies Sinclair found the same results along with the evidence that happy people might not     【小题7】    as much energy to the task in order to maintain their happy moods ---- they considered that task as something that might detract from their     【小题8】    feelings.
These findings are not surprising, said Sinclair, since there has been a growing body of literature in the area of social psychology     【小题9】   that sad moods lead to more calm lengthy intent consideration and often, more thought or accurate judgments. So it’s important for organizations to take into account the    【小题10】  of their employees. It seems it could be beneficial to creating situations that lead people to believe that performing their jobs will cause them to feel good.
