dc.description.abstractEmotional states are fundamental attributes distinguishing humans from machines, and productivity represents one of the primary life objectives for this emotionally driven being. However, existing research on productivity and job performance frequently underestimates the impact of underlying emotional mechanisms. Thus, a systematic examination of the emotion-productivity interface is essential to clarify the psychophysiological processes that regulate work efficiency. In this study, emotional induction was achieved through a curated video stimulus set designed to evoke positive (happiness) and negative (sadness) responses in 39 participants, followed by a computer-based Stroop task. Electroencephalography (EEG) was employed to capture emotional states within the two-dimensional valence-arousal framework. During task performance, parameters related to productivity metrics were recorded. Three machine learning models - Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Random Forest (RF) - were implemented to predict productivity levels. For positive emotions, mean absolute error (MAE) values were 0.1031 (ANN), 0.0760 (SVM), and 0.0721 (RF). For negative emotions, the values were 0.1165, 0.0902, and 0.0659, respectively. Results demonstrated that productivity levels increased during tasks performed after the induction of positive emotions. Overall, this study provides empirical evidence that productivity can be predicted from emotional states, emphasizing their integral role in cognitive processes and their potential utility for optimizing workplace performance.
