Forgas & George (2001) point out further that employees in a negative mood are likely to be less susceptible to bias and less likely to be swayed by persuasion. In line with these hypotheses, recent empirical work by To et al. (2015) showed that negative moods can provide motivational and cognitive resources helpful for solving problems. Specifically, these authors hypothesized and found that activating negative mood can have a positive relationship with creative process engagement in specific circumstances.
