Affective Events Theory
The Situation. As manager of a large bank branch, I have two objectives. These are to increase job satisfaction and improve job performance. To understand how to do this, the framework used will be the affective events theory.
Affective events theory emphasizes the role of work events on both job satisfaction and job performance (Weiss & Cropanzano, 1996).

The leader is in a unique position with respect to setting the emotional tone in the organization, which is why it is so critical for the leader to be positive (Wong & Law, 2002).

It is: "Intelligence comprises the mental abilities necessary for adaptation to, as well as shaping and selection of, any environmental context" (Quoted by Pfeiffer 2004 p. 138). Although Sternberg's concept notes that individuals act intelligently when they can adapt to their environment, but also when they can alter their environment to meet their needs; this was seen as consistent with a basis in a "common core of mental processes,

Indeed, effective problem solving in these circumstances often requires high levels of creative collaboration (Richards, 2007a, p. 34). In recognition of this reality, employers consistently name the ability to work together creatively as a primary and crucial skill -- even though many organizations have created cultures that undercut individual and collective creativity. In order to solve this problem there is a need of a comprehensive review of the facility management
