How to design a team that would produce software of good quality — emotions and interest
Blog post from Qase
Effective information flow within a system enhances quality by reducing losses, and this efficiency is closely linked to cognitive functions, which are mental processes involved in acquiring and applying knowledge. Emotions have a significant impact on cognitive processes such as perception, learning, and memory, with positive emotions generally improving these functions while negative emotions have the opposite effect. Recognizing the influence of emotions, modern HR departments prioritize employee well-being, but a crucial element often overlooked is the role of interest. Interest, a positive emotion, not only enhances motivation and cognitive performance but also stimulates creativity and problem-solving by encouraging exploration and engagement with new experiences. Companies can benefit from fostering a culture that provokes interest, allowing employees to engage in problem-solving rather than repetitive tasks, and supporting the development of diverse skills within teams. This approach aligns with the broaden-and-build model of positive emotions, which suggests that interest drives long-term developmental goals by broadening experiences and fostering competence through sustained activity in specific areas.
