According to the new research, feeling bad at work______. [br] [originaltext]

(14)Surprising new research suggests it can actually be good to feel bad at work, and that feeling good in the workplace can lead to negative outcomes.(15)It is found that the commonly-held assumption that positivity in the workplace produces positive outcomes, while negative emotions lead to negative outcomes, may be in need for reconsideration. This is partly due to this assumption failing to take into account the differences in work contexts which effect outcomes.
    For instance, anger does not always lead to negative outcomes and can be used as a force for good through acting upon injustices. In some cases, anger can be considered a force for good if motivated by perceived violations of moral standards.
    An employee, for example, could express anger constructively after a manager has treated a fellow worker unfairly.(16)In such cases, anger can be useful to prevent these acts of injustice from repeating themselves in the future.(17)Likewise, being too positive in the workplace, rather than resulting in greater well-being and greater productivity, can lead to complacency and superficiality.
    Within team situations, negativity can have a good effect, leading to less consensus and therefore greater discussion amongst workers which enhances team effectiveness.
