Differences between individuals and their distinct behaviour, can be valuable to organisations but also can deliver challenges. On one hand, differences can lead to developing can lead to developing creativity and often the source of conflict and frustration. The roles and duties fulfilled by an individual within an organisation as a subordinate and the behaviour patterns they display - helps our understanding of the complexities behind the way in which respective colleagues interact with one another. The attitudes, beliefs, and values of an individual affect the way in which they engage; with themselves, other individuals, and their institution. A better understanding of these roles is a new way of strategic thinking about the everyday functions of organisations and thus relate to individual behaviour within these institutions. The concept of attitude is a cognitive and highly effective evaluation that has positive and negative aspects - enabling an individual to behave in a particular way. Individuals roles and duties start to arise in an organisations environment when organisational behaviour is closely monitored. Individuals differ in various ways including; their attributions of character, attitudes, beliefs and emotions - which is often referred to as self efficacy. When organisations seek to increase individual engagement in the workplace an encourage perceived opportunities for personal development - it resonates with the individual and gives them a sense of meaning. This is positively associated with higher levels of individual engagement with their work. Seeking feedback to enhance self awareness improves performance within a business and job satisfaction for both the individual and employer.
Organisations seek to implement programs and tools to enable individuals to gain a level of greater self awareness. Typically, this can be done through self inquiry and reflection using the results of scores from self assessment instruments.Most managers should strive to display a model of leadership that embodies a positive attitude in the hope with the expectation that it will influence an employee’s state of mind. Individuals are more efficient and productive when they foster feelings of positivity - about themselves, others, and their commitment to the organisation. Productive and satisfied employees share two things: job satisfaction and trust. The majority of differences in perception among people in a workplace is related to how they select and organise sensory data. Talented staff will have an incredible perceptive mind - which managers will utilise accordingly in their organisations.
Attributions are often referred to as judgements about the causal pattern of an individuals behaviour - either as a result of characteristics of the person or of the situation. Understanding attributions is significant in that it directly influences how a manager will handle a situation. People tend to have biases when it comes to making attributions. The tendency to underestimate external factors and overestimate internal factors is a common pattern of individual behaviour. Self serving bias is also an issue in that it forces employees to give too much credit for the things they achieve compared to blaming their failings on external forces too much.These four dimensions are what sets out an individual's unique pattern of behaviours. Each of the sixteen different personality types either have a positive or negative affect for patterns of behaviour amongst individuals.
Feedback: An instrument for self improvement
Feedback is the most important tool for individual self improvement. Managers within organisations should be clear and firm about the feedback they provide to ensure employee performance improves. It is important for managers to give feedback that is descriptive and constructive to ensure employees take on board the feedback in the right way.
Self management
Self management can be one of the most overlooked aspects by an individual and organisation. Self management is the ability to engage in self regulating thoughts and behaviour to accomplish the tasks required and to operate effectively in an adverse environment. Individuals who endure little stress may unconsciously make little effort to perform to the best of their ability. Those under copious amounts of stress can in fact under perform due to excessive amounts of anxiety about performance. Individuals in the workplace will experience stress but it is about finding solutions to reduce the negative effects. Positive working environments will promote both emotional and physical well-being of their employees. Being the most important asset to business success it is important that they are well looked after. Proactive methods to support the individual in the workplace can be well-being programs, fun activities planned and ensuring that employees have manageable workloads.
