An understanding of organizational behavior begins with the individual. People vary in their personalities, traits, values, and individual characteristics. These individual differences influence how we behave and work together in organizations. It can be a shock when people view the same thing and come to different conclusions. But this is reality that people often perceive and respond to situations in different ways.
In this unit, we will focus on how the better we understand perception and attribution and their effects on how people behave and learn, the better we can be at dealing with events, people, and relationships.
Learning Objectives
Upon completing this unit you will be able to:
Analyze individual behavior within the organization, including increased personal awareness diversity personality perception
How does perception impact behavior in the workplace? It is recommended to discuss elements of personality, diversity, etc. in the workplace, as it relates to impact of perception. Please provide 1-2 examples to support your viewpoints that other learners will be able to assess and debate within our weekly discussion forum.
