“No-one has a crystal ball – this could be a double dip recession, or a dead cat bounce, as they say on Wall Street. However, the mood has moved from ‘how on earth can we weather this storm’ to ‘what opportunities are there and how can we move forward with confidence?’  The next phase will be uncertain and challenging, but also not without hope and possibility for those who approach it in the right way. This is what we focus on in the first edition of “YQ”.” – Gurnek Bains, CEO

ScienceDaily (Aug. 25, 2009) — A Kansas State University study shows that invigorated and dedicated employees carry over their positive work experiences for a happier home life.

 K-State psychology researchers studied how positive work experiences extend into family life and facilitate family interactions. They found that employees who are engaged in their work, which includes higher levels of vigor, more dedication and absorption in daily activities, have better moods and more satisfaction at home.

The K-State research group included Clive Fullagar, professor of psychology; Satoris Culbertson, assistant professor of psychology; and Maura Mills, graduate student in psychology, Manhattan. They presented the research in April at the annual conference for Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology in New Orleans.

“Our research indicated that individuals who were engaged in positive experiences at work and who shared those experiences with significant others perceived themselves as better able to deal with issues at home, became better companions and became more effective overall in the home environment,” Culbertson said.”Practically, our results indicate that engagement is controlled by situational factors that are manageable by the organization,” Culbertson said. “Generating high levels of engagement among workers has a positive impact on the work-family interface.”
