Employees Bring Bad Moods Home, But They Disappear By Morning

A good night’s sleep may be the remedy for a bad day at work, suggests a new University of Florida study on the unexplored relationship between job satisfaction and the shifting moods of employees.
Employees who have stressful days bring their negative moods home with them at night, but in most cases they disappear by morning, said Timothy Judge, a UF management professor who did the research.
“The boundaries between work and family are pretty permeable, and this is one more piece of evidence that people do tend to take their work home,” said Judge. “The one comfort is that the effect is short-lived and gone by the next day.”
