  • The question I am left with is "Does the study really represent reality?"
    By that I mean, has it tracked the effects over a sustained period of time?
    I also think it's a tall order for the average manager/employee to manage their own/their subordinates anxiety so that it stays in "the safe zone". I think there are lots of other, evidence based theories of motivation and performance such as Self-determination theory which are harmless and could be employed to create sustained motivation and performance.
