Criticism at work - Good or bad?

Criticism at work – Good or bad?


Critique or criticism is something which everybody cannot take it in a positive way and is often offended by criticism, especially if it is happening in the work place.

For:

- Criticism helps the individual in learning new areas of work and helps him in analysing even the infinitesimal things and improve his work
- Criticism will encourage him to do his work without mistakes and making him a perfectionist in his work
- It will also help him increase his analytical abilities

Against:

- If an individual is not capable of taking criticism, then he might feel offended and demotivated to work hence reducing his productivity
- Will be pressurised with the critiques and will end up making up more mistakes
- It could also turn the individual into violent individual
- The language used while criticising is often foul language and instead of motivating demotivates the individual

Conclusion:

- Criticism gives scope for improvement and hence should be there, but the choice of language and the way to put criticism ahead should not be offending and insulting.

  • Criticism is always good if it is constructive and positive. A positive criticism always improves the system. It gives a scope of improvement. A good person always takes the criticism positively and overcome the weakness. We all must remember that nobody is perfect.life is all about learning new things from our mistakes.
    More perfect a person is more mistakes he has committed in his life and learnt from them. We cannot control the manner in which others criticises you but we can surely mend our way of criticising others. But we should never do negative criticism. It brings negative energy in your body and mind. Never do it.Whenever we any criticism we should have the solution of that.That will be called a complete criticism and will be more effective.

  • Criticism at work place can be good or even bad.
    It actually depends upon the person. How he takes that
    Criticism can be good if
    - If there is improvement in his performance
    -If a person does not repeat the mistake again
    -IF A PERSON TAKES THIS IN POSITIVE WAY
    - If he enjoys his work more then yesterday.
    Criticism can be bad when -
    A person is DEMOTIVATED instead of motivated
    -Again and again criticising leads to poor performance
    -creates stress on him
    -Created pressure because of which some even commit suicides
    -Leads to depression
    as it's clear that there can be many causes of bad criticism.. It must be avoided. There can be more alternatives for this, criticism at work place can't be solution to any problem like work to be done effectively and efficiently.
