In turn, the MARS model results often lead to an outcome of the five different types of individual behavior in the workplace. Emotions also have a very powerful influence on how an individual acts in the workplace. It can be very difficult for someone to enter their workplace and try to forget about their personal problems, however that would help to make a more comfortable and positive workplace.
