“People’s attitudes are caused by how they perform, and they determine their performance. In short, they are both a cause and a consequence of behavior.”

Linkage between engagement and performance

“Dissatisfaction causes turnover, absenteeism, and positive attitudes toward joining unions. “

“Motivation is caused by the beliefs and attitudes of employees have about what the consequences of good performance will be. When employees feel that they will receive rewards that they value as a result of their performance they are motivated to perform well.”
