The observation that the employees have a negative
attitude is an attribution, one that is probably based
on observed behavior (verbal and nonverbal).  You are
better served by staying away from attitudes and focusing
on behavior and performance.  In this vein, I think you
will find an article I wrote several years ago to be
helpful.  It is titled "The Conditions of Performance"
and appeared in the journal of the International Society
for Performance Improvement (ISPI).  You can find a copy
of it at my articles web site:
