Curing the Monday blues may be as simple as getting engaged at work, new research suggests. This engagement, however, is not only beneficial in helping workers go back to work after the weekend, but it is also helpful to the productivity of the organization as well.
"Engaged workers feel nearly as good on the weekdays as they do on weekends, which is not the case for Americans in general," Gallup's research said. "They are equally likely to report a lot of happiness, smiling and laughter, being treated with respect, and not a lot of anger regardless of the day of week. And, for engaged workers, learning and doing something interesting peaks during weekdays."
