Integrating Polyvagal Theory With Agile Project Management
Abstract The modern project management environment has become more complex due to various influences. For instance, stress and trauma are recognized as powerful influences on employee behaviors and decision-making.

Exploration of How Polyvagal Theory and Autonomic Nervous System Impact Organizational Performance Through Reduced Employee Turnover and Improved Work Culture
Abstract The evolution of corporate practices has made it more challenging for modern workers to remain in their respective roles for long periods, leading to high turnover. Accordingly, the employee turnover problem can be investigated by assessing the factors that encourage employees to shift from the safe and calm state to the fight or flight state.
