Abstract
Assembling with staff colleagues in the elevator well, and shouting the "workplace cheer" are designed to enhance everyone's mood before the workday begins. Its basis is rooted in extensive research on the effect of emotional climate or mood on a variety of work-related variables such as productivity, staff satisfaction, patient satisfaction, and teamwork. The thesis is as follows: emotions are contagious and they spread much like viruses. Starting the day in a happy emotional state will set the emotional tone for the day and influence the production of positive outcomes. Here, Donnelly stresses that effective self-care demands attunement to emotional climate for the prevention of negative contagion and the promotion of positive outcomes.
