Pavlov’s classical conditioning and E.L.Thorndike’s ‘Law of Effect’ (Iversen, 1992). Skinner (1957) later expanded his theory by including schedules of reinforcement. Maslow’s theory was inspired by E.S. Fromm’s theory of personality (Cooke, Mills & Kelley, 2005). His original five-staged model (physiological, safety, love, esteem and self-actualization needs from basic to less basic order) (Maslow, 1943) was later expanded to include cognitive, aesthetic and self-transcendence needs (Maslow, 1969).
Trust is very important, but it is a challenging feat to obtain. People within the group must trust one another that way each member will help others reach the overall goal and it makes sure that each team member can focus on one specific task without worrying if the others will complete their tasks. An example would be that if each member needs to collect different types of data, one member can finish collecting theirs and immediately know that the others have finished as well, where if they do not trust you, they will worry about not getting finished, covering another person’s job, and stress over slowing down the project. This is significant because if people are not trustable and people have to do other member’s jobs then it slows down the process and it takes longer to reach that special goal, whatever it may be. That is why I believe trust is important in teamwork, so try to be trustable and be smart about who you
It has been said in the theories of ethics that if people want to act ethically, then they need to act according to duty. It has also been said in the theory of ethics that motivated the individual to perform the procedures, and not vice versa, which is, and the consequences of the actions of individuals to act right or wrong way. For example, in our case, fear of an employee in the department will be that he or she may get customers who are not satisfied very easily, and difficult to deal with, with that in mind this can help the employee to work hard and overcome or fears this could this is done only as a result of modifying the behavior of the employee. But it also must be remembered that the fear of losing (for example, one job because
Likewise, if there is no evident set of working responsibilities and appraisal standards, then supervisors can utilize their carefulness to accord evaluations in view of individual judgements. Moreover, when the procedure is not led constantly then there are high odds of blunders and inclination. As indicated above, when there is deficient training, then performance evaluation can be utilized as an instrument of threat, badgering, power or authority, in this manner stagnating employee’s development and declining the value of the performance appraisal procedure (Roberts,
The third belief is employees need to be supervised at every step or someone constantly watching over their shoulder. The fourth and final belief the book mentioned is most of the workers will avoid responsibility they don’t want to have the responsibility to complete big tasks. Theory Y managers have different beliefs with the first one being opposite of theory X with workers want to make an effort at work and want to be there. The second belief is that people will apply self control and self direction in pursuit of company objectives. Next people are committed to objectives and expect to receive awards.
Behaviour change is not an innately motivated activity and many times employees may feel challenge to change especially when they have not understood the rationales or witness the consequences of the behaviours. SDT suggests that internalization is facilitated when employees are provided the skills and tools for behaviour change, and is supported or assisted when employees face challenges along the process (Deci & Ryan, 1985). As employees are supported, the behaviour change can be effortless and subsequently assist mastery of safety behaviour. Having said that, employees who are in higher autonomous motivation would be more willing to behave safely, and they are most motivated to learn the skills and be competent in performing safety behaviour (Markland et. al., 2005).
Sometimes the leaders’ behaviors depend on the characteristic of the subordinates and tasks. For example, if the tasks are complex or the subordinates are not able to comprehend their task by themselves, the leader supposed to be more directive leadership to help followers by clarifying the path to the goal, making it less ambiguous. To be an effective leader, I have to behave different in different situations, sometime directive, sometime

The Enneagram as a ‘nurture’ personality approach organisations can use it to determine if potential employees will thrive under work pressure. Conclusion Assessing some of the behaviour traits using the MBTI test showed that it is not always a good tool to use in the selection process. The MBTI which suggests that traits are inborn came short when analysed against the workplace behaviour traits because some individuals for example who ‘naturally’ introverted can compensate in extraverted situations. This test therefore should strictly be for development where individuals can identify their weaknesses to strengthen them. The enneagram on the other hand, taking the ‘nurture’ side of things stands a better chance to be used as a tool in employee selection.
Just speaking to a coworker can solve the problem, but if you do feel uncomfortable or if they do not listen to you. Then talks to a supervisor in charge, human resource or someone else in the chain of command. In other words, they should work it out among themselves and if that does not work then to seek
