Employee negativity has risen drastically in the workplace over the past year because of the economic conditions. However, even before the economy took a turn for the worse, employee negativity was still common in the workplace.
Aside from the economic conditions, there are some common reasons behind employee negativity. Some of the most widespread causes of employee negativity include:
- Direct Management — There are many reasons why an employee’s direct manager can be the cause of negativity. These reasons may include an employee’s lack of confidence in their manager’s leadership, micro-management, etc.
- Salary — An employee feels that their salary does not match their performance
- Recognition — Some employees require more recognition. Employee negativity can result from insufficient recognition.
- Job Security — Negativity often stems from an employees concern over their job security.
- Workload — Negativity can also be the result of an employee’s extreme workload.

Economy made the worker’s negativity even worse, because they have lost isnsight of why they took the job. Students want extra money and the older just seek money for pleasure- work place did not provide money for pleasure. Walk into any store, the only person is behind the counter and standing around doing nothing. Recently, I walked in to buy some thing, only customer, the phone rang - just audible conversation ” Sorry, I can’t talk There are so many customers waiting” that is just ME.

Leisure and quality time is more important- just sit in front of TV and munching chips. Pride of working is not important

I would add lack of contact with management to this list.
As manager’s workloads increase their contact with employees decreases.
