At the individual level, the elements of personality, social comprehension, learning, motivation, and attitude are discussed, as well as the manifestations thereof, as well as the potential for using the knowledge for managing ones own and others behaviour on the job. At the group level, processes that operate in work groups, which influence relationships amongst group members and the results of work, are analysed; principles for forming effective teams are discussed, and personal and organisational means for improving group activities are presented.

INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
In

spite of the fact that all human beings are similar, every one is different. Everyone has different nature, different quality of intelligence, different perception and different ways of behaving. The concept tells that every person is an entity in himself. it comes to human behavior there cannot be a prescriptive solution. individual is to be treated differently even though two persons may have the same behavioral problems.

The

concept also tells the manager that he had better be aware of his own stereotypes. A stereotype is a tendency to attribute the traits of a group to an individual because he belongs to the said group. Jew genocide can be attributed to this stereotyping. Unfortunately one is not aware as to how these stereotypes influence his behavior. concept, therefore, not only tells that a manager should treat every person as an entity in himself hut he should also examine his own stereotypes.

Employees

A WHOLE PERSON
An

employee's personal life is not detached from his working life. As an example, A women who attend the office at 8:30 AM is always anxious for her children's school time (if her children able to attend the school or not). As a result, its impact falls on her concentration that means her working life. For this reason, we cannot separate it. So manager should treat an employee as a whole person. should consider its employees as the whole person, not just a pair of hands.

Companies

Employees

should be treated as people with wants and needs, which should be addressed accordingly. It should be noted that employees interact with each other, and the behavior of one employee may influence the behavior of others, and the entire community. In the past employees were referred to as hands implying that the organization hires only the hands of a man. Nothing can him farther from the truth. An organization hires not only the hands of an employee but hires a complete man with all his pluses and minuses. Since a person performs many roles at the same time, the happenings in one role are bound to affect the behavior in others roles of the person.

MOTIVATED BEHAVIOR
An

employee has so many needs inside him. So, they want to fulfill those needs. That's why; they had to perform well in the organization. Some motivations are needed to enrich the quality of work. A path toward increased need fulfillment is the better way of enriches the quality of work. manager by his own behavior can cause an employee to behave in a particular way. If he is respectful to his employees they are bound to be respectful to him, not otherwise.

DESIRE FOR INVOLVEMENT


Every

employee is actively seeking opportunities at work to involve in decisionmaking problems. They hunger for the chance to share what they know and to learn from the experience. So, organization should provide them a chance to express their opinions, ideas and suggestion for decisionmaking problem. meaningful involvement can bring mutual benefit for both parties.

VALUE OF THE PERSON


An

employee wants to be treated separately from other factor of production (land, capital, labor). They refuse to accept the old idea that they are simply treated as economic tools because they are best creation of almighty God. this reason, they want to be treated with carrying respect, dignity and other things from their employers and society.
