Now, let's examine this situation more closely. When people go on holiday, their colleagues have to take over some of their work. So, the workload for these colleagues is increasing. Most likely, these colleagues have to work overtime to get all the work done. Working overtime has a positive effect, because it increases productivity and reduces the remaining workload. But, it also has a negative effect, because it reduces motivation. The causal loops below describe this behavior outside temperature work motivation people working, overtime number of people taking a holiday workload per person (still at work) productivity (amount of work someone can do in a day) What is the polarity of the links? Justify your answer. remaining work to do in the office Now, let's examine this situation more closely. When people go on holiday, their colleagues have to take over some of their work.
