You cannot expect people to deliver through sheer pressure alone. First a passion for the job has to be there, once passion is in place performance will follow suit. Pressure can elicit a performance once or twice but not in the long run. It would only lead to other situations wherein the employee gets frustrated. Passion with a dash of motivation and a tinge of encouragement would work wonders.

If a person is passionate about his/her job, he/she'll also be passionate to deliver their projects in realistic time period to qualify for more such projects in future or to determine the need to seek more time,to deliver the assignment according to the required pre-determined standards

Passion, infatuation, fascination only exist in Human world; isn’t like moving a copper wire in magnetic field the way electric is generated, it has to be created, via deep attachment to subject, without ownership. - Pressure or fear cannot command or govern passion. This is my experience with passion, careful direction, planning can achieve extraordinary results, which I have achieved.
Like electricity passion can flow it influence others (induction as observed in electric world) it creates a charisma or aura, like various substance has different conductivity good conductor (copper silver aluminium etc.) non conductor (wood ebonite plastic etc.) Semi conductor (silicon germanium). Passion is a pressure within which creates a trance.

Passion builds internal pressure to do the best possible...and that is joyful...and if you enjoy and love what you do, your performance is always great. External pressure or negative internal pressure may help you achieve your target, but the lack of passion will have no meaning and it will be a task done...out of fear or "have to" phenomenon...

Well with all those saying 'no' one thing is common they give, all the regard to passion and that in itself gives the support for the above statement altough passion may not alone give performance all the time but the necessity of passion is invariably there for the performance to be noteworthy.

Of course.....pressure can just create fear in the mind to complete the goal sheet....tht sit..means .....No Satisfaction...No Stability...No Growth....nothing. But by passion one can actually deliver what is actually required by the comapny.

Thanks for inviting on this Debate Ms.Jyoti kapoor,but sorry i don't agree with your comments Passion is enough for any person to achieve the excellence in his/her filed, a passionate employee becomes effective long term growth contributor to your concern, but pressure can make a employee temporary average worker who will work as it is just a duty for which he gets paid, until he feels that he can't take that pressure anymore

It is true unless we passionately apply ourselves into the work, what we have taken up, the output can never be marvelous. For the world, our identity is what we capable to produce. And the world judges it from our past deeds. So once we start earning a bad reputation, it is more difficult to come out of it. So it is always wise to do the job full heartedly, no matter how much insignificant it appears. By developing an habit of delivering shabby output, in short run we are making the buyer unsatisfied and in long run damaging ourselves. But doing every job with heart and soul is easy to say but very difficult it practice. Our first challenge comes from our own mind itself, we often think this job is not justified to my capability and skill, or I am just wasting time doing this, even doing same thing some body is earning much better return in different places, why I’ll do it here at less return, even sometime we wear an intellectual cap, and try to justify its not my passion, all these kind of thoughts always cross our mind.But In India our career is dictated by the following factor 1.Comparison 2.Fear of Scarcity (Money) 3.Necessity and lack of Funds 4.Ignorance of true definition of success 5.Lack of knowledge of Knowing what you Know (or want to be).Knowing what you don't know

Performance always comes not from passion, not from pressure. passion means you are deeply connected with a thing and pressure means you are doing work without intention. there is a thing that i will say the correct passionate approach. the mixture of correctness, passion and approach.

+++++ . Infact I feel perfomance always comes out at its best when the interest is kept as a passion and not a profession. When you convert a passion into a profession you tend to always get constraints in your thoughts. Where as if you work your interest as a passion , we tend to think more out of the box.

Hey Virag, what you said is true. A human being can perform good from pressure, but it is for a very short period. When you work from passion in what you are doing you are not actually working, it's like playing one's favorite game. Also the satisfaction levels will be high and you enjoy what you are doing. This will have a direct impact on productivity and efficiency. Both would be high and one can reap the fruits of quality work. So do perform from passion and not from pressure!!!!!!!!

Agree with Passion, pressure will never give good result. In sales field job, lot of pressure and executive are turnover their job from one company to other company. Now a days even back office work also pressure. HR policy is changing for retain employee. It is like give and take. IF company will provide good working atmosphere,work profile etc, Employee will give good result and work from heart, honest with enthusism. Thanks Ms.Jyoti kapoor for referal

I certainly believe that it is passion alone which drives performance. Does anyone put pressure on a surgeon when he's operating in the O.T. ? When we can accept that artists ( whether musicians or painters or dancers ... ) perform at their best through passion , why can't we expect the same from sportsmen and managers ?

Passion is a very easy term. All people who don't want to work hard, and who find the job drab, think of passion, which extends to their peers also!!!!

No doubt. Passion is the basic motivator in any performance. Yet,while trying to achieve some thing/to reach a target(within the given time constraints) a certain or reasonable amount of pressure will be very useful.
