Abstract
There is a lot of debate surrounding technology and the global market. A lot of this discussion is set in futuristic narratives. Consequently, it is argued it is important not to overlook the present impacts of technology. This research investigates how attitudes towards technology (ATT) shape satisfaction and motivation in the workplace. Previous research highlights how Emotional Intelligence (EI), or the ability to understand and regulate one's emotions, support individuals navigating through sensitive situations. Thus, the research hypothesis there would be a relationship between ATT, EI, satisfaction and motivation in the workplace. Furthermore, it was hypothesised EI moderates the relationship between ATT, satisfaction and motivation. 100 participants took part in this study, completing questionnaires assessing their ATT, EI satisfaction and motivation in the workplace. The findings highlight correlations between: ATT & satisfaction, EI & motivation and satisfaction & motivation. However, it is important to note that while EI is not directly moderating the relationship between ATT, satisfaction and motivation, the relationship is not completely parallel. As the research found a connection between satisfaction and motivation in the workplace, thus when examining the whole research there is interdependence between ATT and EI. The findings highlight the importance of providing support for employees. Such as set up policies and initiatives to encourage both positive ATT and strengthen EI in the workplace.
