Drivers of Behavior

An attitude is generally defined as the way a person responds to his or her environment, either positively or negatively.

Attitudes can positively or negatively affect a person's behavior, regardless of whether the individual is aware of the effects.

Values are guiding principles that determine individual morality and conduct.

Values influence behavior because people emulate the conduct they hold valuable.

Job satisfaction is the level of contentment employees feel about their work, which can affect performance.

Job satisfaction can affect a person's level of commitment to the organization, absenteeism, and job turnover.

Emotion and mood can affect temperament, personality, disposition, motivation, and initial perspectives and reactions.
