People work more effectively when their emotional needs are respected.

Emotions are a manifestation of needs, which includes the needs of their job function. Things get done because people care (which is driven by motivators). Without psychological safety, people will conceal their needs which harms their effectiveness. Shoring up different domains of social behavior leads to good effectiveness outcomes. Lack of psychological safety leads to ego-defensive behaviors.[^G1]
