Arousal in Performance Student Name Abstract Introduction Arousal is a result of both psychological and physiological processes within an individual. It influences the motivation of the individual and hence performance of duties by the individual. It may arise from fear or joy associated with a particular activity. Activation theory suggests that arousal level is proportional to the level of arousal up to the optimum level. Beyond the optimum point, the performance degrades in what is represented as the “inverted U.” Theorists believe that the downward slope result from mistakes at work due to overconfidence. To obtain more extended periods of highest performance, an individual has to maintain the optimum activation. Low arousal in often leads to underperformance. An individual not well activated are less equipped to handle tough situations in the course of work. They are not likely to bear enough when the magnitude of tasks is excellent. Experts recommend only a certain level of arousal for maximum efficiency. A rise in arousal leads to an increase in output, thus increased performance. Individual output depends on his or her willingness…
