Analysis of Human Attitudes and Behaviors in Organizations

This report delves into the intricate relationship between human attitudes and behaviors, examining their distinctions, interconnectedness, and the factors that shape them. It explores how attitudes, defined as a set of emotions and perceptions, can influence behaviors, which are observable actions and expressions. The report investigates the impact of both positive and negative attitudes and behaviors on the workplace environment, highlighting how they affect organizational performance, team dynamics, and the overall work culture. It also considers how different workplaces may encourage specific attitudes and behaviors. The report emphasizes that while behavior is influenced by attitude, it is also shaped by various external elements, including social and financial pressures. Ultimately, the paper underscores the importance of understanding and managing both attitudes and behaviors to foster a productive and positive work environment. The report concludes by analyzing the author's own attitudes and behavior within the context of the course, thereby providing a personal reflection on the concepts discussed.

Summary
This report is completely based on the concept of human attitude and behaviour. It also covers
the relationship between attitude and behaviour of individuals. It is also focused on the thin
difference between attitude and behaviour of human. In addition, it is also focused on the
elements which promote particular attitude and behaviour. It is also focused on how behaviour of
an individual can be changed by working on attitude. This report is also focused on the impact of
attitude and behaviour on the workplace. It is also focused on the impact of particular workplace
on the attitude and behaviour of an individual. As per the study, the key difference between
human attitude and behaviour is just a reflection of person's attitude ore perception for some
particular individual or object. It has been found that behaviour of human depends on numerous
elements linked with the living environment. In such situation, attitude of human plays a
significant role in developing a difference in various individuals. In addition to this, it has been
found that there are various factors which explore the influence of attitude on some individual.
One of the most common things in attitude and behaviour is that they are clearly visible from the
act of the individual.
Introduction
Attitude is basically referred to as setup of emotions, values, and perception towards some
specific object, individual and program. Human attitude is mainly connected with the experience
which an individual has gone through life and are strongly influenced by these set of elements
(Verplanken, 2018). Human attitude is not a strict discipline which cannot be changed; they can
be altered as per the requirement. Human behaviour is related to physical and verbal actions
along with facial expression which is developed in the individual due to upbringing. Human
behaviour is connected with one clear objective which is either execution a task or delivers a
message (Melo et al., 2018). This report is focused on understanding the thin line of similarity
and difference in human behaviour and attitude.
Attitude and behaviour
Human body usually holds a complex set of relationships between attitude and behaviour which
are promoted by al the social elements which are connected with the environment of the
individual. It has been found that behaviour is not always connected with the values and
attributes developed in the common individual (Toni, Renzi & Mattia, 2018).). One of the best
example is that if a person believes that he is not going to plead in front of any individual for job
safety no matter what may be the situation but in other situation, same person or individual will
plead in front of another individual for job safety which is the result of social environment
pressure it may be society or family. In most of the cases, having a positive attitude is always
connected with part of adjustable behaviour (De Groot & Thøgersen, 2018).). But in medical
situation, same positive attitude may generate negative behaviour. One of the best examples is

that an individual will prefer to remain in an abusive environment because they perception
towards divorce is negative.
As per the study, it has been found that behaviour is being influenced by some of the factors
which are beyond attitude, perceptions related to self and others, pressure from financial or social
influence. People usually say that they strongly believe that education system in the country must
be improved but same individual will vote against the increase in tax which will be used to
improve the education system (Thomas et al., 2018). There is a possibility that they will not vote
at all due to bad voting day or will give some different reason. In many studies, it has been found
that focusing on inconsistencies among attitudes and behaviour can readdress individual
behaviour. It is essential for an individual to reevaluate their reflection act in order to eliminate
possible harmful situation which has been created due to difference of attitude and behaviour.
More often it has been seen that in order to change the behaviour of some particular person,
focus is being maintained towards working on attitude of the person (Liu et al., 2018). But at the
same time attitude cannot be brought under behaviour change pattern in order to improve the
negative attitude of the individual. All the works conducted in this situation are directly on
elements which are linked with attitude of the individual despite of behaviour.
At present time attitude and behaviour are woven on daily base in order to attain the required
reaction from the individuals. Many research explores that individual rapidly develop a
responsive reaction in terms of good or bad related to everything they usually encounter in their
daily life within one second. In some cases, even before they just have started to build an attitude
towards their surrounding environment (Haffar et al., 2019). In addition, it has been seen that all
the advertisement and other campaigns are persuaded on the base of a simple concept that
behaviour is followed by attitude and it is easy to influence the attitude of the individual than
behaviour with the help of positional message when delivering at right time. Various
psychologies have explored that attitude and behaviour are different in nature but are developed
within the same environment and therefore they are interconnected with each other and possess
the power to influence each other in different situations (Richens et al., 2018). In addition, social
element has a great inflectional hold over both attitude and behaviour because these elements are
being connected with the individual right from birth till mature stage.
Workplace is directly connected with the attitude and behaviour of the individuals working in a
particular organization. In fact, attitude and behaviour influence the work environment of an
organization in both positive as well as negative way. Individual with positive attitude and
behaviour will directly increase the performance of the organization because their positive
attitude helps them to connect with other individuals in the form of effective team member
(Joelle & Coelho, 2019). Positive behaviour of employee helps them to think positively in case
current process of organization is in need of improvement. This will help in eliminating chances
of restriction against new change from employees and helps in developing a supportive
environment for future change introduction. But at the same time, negative attitude and
behaviour badly impact the workplace environment of the organization because it creates a

ORGANIZATION BEHAVIOUR 3
negative feeling in the organization culture. Individual with negative will oppose every single
change and will encourage other employees to resist any change in the organization (Cooke et
al., 2019). These individuals usually have ego issue and do not like to work with others as a
team. Individual with negative behaviour tries to create a depressed feeling in the organization
which directly impacts the performance of the organization by reducing the quality of work.
As per the study, it has been found that workplace and human attitude and behaviour are directly
connected with each other. Therefore, they have the tendency to influence each other by
generating specific elements such as situations, pressure and so on (Nordsteien & Byström,
2018). One of the best examples are individuals which are working in manufacturing company
tend to have little bit negative attitude because these people work under continuous pressure and
harsh work environment as compared to employees working in corporate organizations.
Corporate work culture often surrounded by soft environment and therefore they attitude are
most of the time positive towards other people (Haas & Hwang, 2019). In addition, it has been
seen that behaviour of individual in manufacturing industries are aggressive in nature and can
face tough situation in their life while individual working in service industries or corporate
culture tend to have easygoing nature with other individuals. Workplace helps them to
understand the elements associated with the nature of a particular individual and then plan the
conversation in an effective way.
Conclusion (300)
This paper helps in understanding the relationship between attitude and behaviour of individuals.
It also helps in understanding how social, financial and environmental element influences the
attitude and behaviour of individuals. It also concludes that attitude and behaviour are the results
of the life process right from childhood up to maturity level. In addition, attitude and behaviour
are different in nature by still they are being associated with same common point which is
surrounding environment. In some cases, it has been seen that individual develop a perception
for some particular objective or thing within one second due to an image being created by that
object or individual in the mind of receiving person. This paper also explores that is difficult to
change the behaviour of an individual and therefore it is better to work on the attitude of the
individual in order to alter their behaviour because behaviour is being influenced by attitude. It
also helps us to understand the impact of attitude and behaviour on the workplace. It is explored
that if person is having a positive attitude and behaviour, the performance of the organization
will automatically increase and if they have a negative attitude and behaviour, organization
performance will be decreased. In addition to this, it has been also explored that workplace
environment directly influence the attitude and behaviour of the individual with the help of
elements like situation, work pressure, and work culture.
