As even Snow White knew, good moods in the workplace are to be encouraged. It is not news, either to Walt Disney or to organizational psychologists, that positive moods not only feel good, but also improve task performance. What is not fully understood is why that is so. Why is it that positive mood generally improves performance? Tsai, Chen, and Lieu think that it is a combination factors both intrapersonal (motivational) and interpersonal (giving help to and receiving help from co-workers) that provide the key link.
