5. +Individual behavior
 Understanding individuals in organizations is an important
consideration for all managers. A basic framework that can
be used to facilitate this understanding is the psychological
contract-the set of expectations held by people with respect
to what they will contribute to the organization and what they
expect to get in return.
 This section can help us study and analyze various aspects
relating to one’s behavior in the firm.Their values, loyalties,
ethics and attitude.
 Each human reacts in a different way to any situation.
Different situations may bring out different reactions in
different people.
 Human behavior is complex and thus every individual is
different from one another, the challenge as an effective
organisation is in successfully matching the task, the
manager and the subordinator. 06/05/14Dhananjay Mull

Personality and traits.
 We all know that each person is different and will react
differently to each situation, this face must be understood
and appreciated by the leader/manager.
 Likewise, every leader and manager should also have the
personality and leadership abilities, without which he would
not be successful to lead his team.
 There are various models and theories used to identify
various personality and traits.

terms with it with the help of
feedback.

known by you and others ie. Skills
knowledge etc.

and not you, rejection,
unhappiness.

Self Management
 Self-Management is an organizational
model wherein the traditional
functions of a manager are pushed out
to all participants in the organization
as opposed to a select few.
 Each member of the organization is
personally responsible for forging
their own personal relationships,
planning their own work, coordinating
their actions with other members,
acquiring requisite resources to
accomplish their mission, and for
taking corrective action with respect
to other members when needed.

place, resulting in good sale, the goodwill

 2.Nature of Business :A firm that produces high
value products or having a stable demand is
able to earn more profits and therefore has
more goodwill.

earns higher profit and so the value of goodwill

17. + Motivation
 INTRODUCTION.
Knowing how and why to motivate employees is an important managerial skill.
 THE NATURE OF MOTIVATION IN ORGANISATIONS.
Motivation is the set of forces that cause people to choose certain behaviors from
among the many alternatives open to them.
 Motivation And Performance In Organizations.
An employee's performance typically is influenced by motivation, ability, and the
work environment. Some deficiencies can be addressed by providing training or
altering the environment, motivation problems are not as easily addressed.

Maslow's hierarchy
 Maslow's hierarchy of needs assumes that people are motivated to satisfy five
levels of needs:
 physiological,
 security,
 belongingness,
 esteem, and
 self-actualisation.
 The hierarchical arrangement suggests that the five levels of needs are arranged
in order of increasing importance, starting with physiological needs. According to
the theory, when needs at one level are satisfied, they are no longer motivators
and the individual "moves up" the hierarchy to satisfy needs at the next level.
Maslow's view of motivation provides a logical framework for categorizing needs,
but it does not supply a complete picture.

Clayton Alderfer's ERG theory
(1)Three groups of core needs
 Existence needs: physiological and safety needs
 Relatedness needs: the desire foe maintaining important interpersonal
relationships: social needs, and the external components of the esteem needs
 Growth needs: an intrinsic desire for personal development: the intrinsic
component of esteem, and self-actualization
 (2) Basic assumptions: Satisfied low-order needs lead to the desire to satisfy
higher-order needs.
 Multiple needs can be operating as motivators at the same time.
 Frustration in attempting to satisfy a higher-level need can result in regression
to a lower need.

Stress at work
 Stress is what you feel when you have to
handle more than you are used to.When you
are stressed, your body responds as though
you are in danger.
 But if stress happens too often or lasts too
long, it can have bad effects. It can be linked
to headaches, an upset stomach, back pain,
and trouble sleeping. It can weaken
your immune system, making it harder to
fight off disease.
 How do you measure your stress level?
 It's important to figure out what causes stress
for you. Everyone feels and responds to
stress differently.Tracking your stress may
help.

21. +Stress at work How can you avoid stress?
 Stress is a fact of life for most people.You may not be able to get rid of stress, but you can
look for ways to lower it.
 You might try some of these ideas:
 Learn better ways to manage your time.
 Find better ways to cope.
 Take good care of yourself.
 Get plenty of rest.
 Proper diet
 Put new ways of thinking.
 Speak up.
 Ask for help.
 Sometimes stress is just too much to handle alone.Talking to a friend or family member
may help, but you may also want to see a counselor.

Time management
 Before you can even begin to manage time, you must learn what time is. A
dictionary defines time as "the point or period at which things occur." Put
simply, time is when stuff happens.
 There are only three ways to spend time: thoughts, conversations and
actions. Regardless of the type of business you own, your work will be
composed of those three items.
 As an entrepreneur, you may be frequently interrupted or pulled in
different directions. It is a key to manage your time effectively to be able
to reach out to all needed avenues in the business.

any point.
 It encompasses a wide range of conflict that people experience in
organization:-
 Incompatibility of goals

 Disagreements based on behavioral expectation
