    Assignment: Human Relation-Attitudes and Personality


    1. Define attitude and personality. Discuss how these factors affect our
    relationship in the workplace.
    Personality is defined as a set of traits that predict and explain a person’s
    behavior.
    Our personality can help define our attitudes toward specific things, situations, or
    people. Most people prefer to work with people who have a positive attitude.
    We can improve our attitude by waking up and believing that the day is going to
    be great. We can also keep awareness of our negative thoughts or those things
    that may prevent us from having a good day. Spending time with positive people
    can help improve our own attitude as well.
    Attitudes are favorable or unfavorable opinions toward people, things, or
    situations. Many things affect our attitudes, including the environment we were
    brought up in and our individual experiences. Our personalities and values play a
    large role in our attitudes as well.
    Attitude and Personality affect our relationships In a workplace environment, you
    can see where attitude is important. Someone’s personality may be cheerful and
    upbeat. These are the prized employees because they help bring positive
    perspective to the workplace. Likewise, someone with a negative attitude is
    usually someone that most people prefer not to work with. The problem with a
    negative attitude is that it has a devastating effect on everyone else. Have you
    ever felt really happy after a great day and when you got home, your roommate
    was in a terrible mood because of her bad day? In this situation, you can almost
    feel yourself deflating! This is why having a positive attitude is a key component
    to having good human relations at work and in our personal lives.

    2.  How does perception influence human relations?


    Perception is the recognition and interpretation of sensory stimuli based upon our
    memory. In other words, it is the way you interpret data around you. The data
    could come from sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing. For example, if you wake
    up in the morning to the smell of coffee, your perception is likely correct that your
    roommate is already awake.
    The challenge with perception in human relations is that we may not always
    understand someone else’s perception and/or assume their perception is our
    own. This is where disagreements and other communication issues can occur.
    For example, if you perceive that your significant other is too focused on
    spending time with friends, your interactions with her will be based upon this
    perception. For example, you could be frustrated and short tempered. In a
    workplace setting, perceptions can also cause miscommunications. For example,
    you may perceive your coworker to be lazy because he always arrives to work at
    8:15 a.m. and the start time is 8 a.m. Suppose he has a child with a medical
    condition who needs special schooling, and the school doesn’t open until 8 a.m.?
    Perhaps he has made arrangements with your supervisor of which you are
    unaware. This perception can be a dangerous one, since we don’t have all of the
    facts.

    3. Discuss a school, personal, or work situation where your perception was


    wrong. What was the outcome?

    In a school or work situation, Our expectations are another driver of our


    perceptions. Sometimes We expect that we made a right decision but it's not. For
    example, if you are dreading getting a flu shot because you believe it will hurt a
    lot (expectations), once you actually have it done, you may say, “That didn’t hurt
    at all” (perception), because your expectation prepared you beforehand. In other
    words, our expectations affect our perception after the fact. In this example, our
    expectation was extreme pain, but when that didn’t occur, our perception was
    quite the opposite. Our expectations and resulting perception can also be looked
    at in a work setting. For example, if you have high expectations that your
    workgroup will win the annual chili cook-off at your company picnic, but you don’t
    win, your perception could be one of unfairness: “The judges like the marketing
    department better.” Likewise, if your team wins the chili cook-off and you
    expected to win, your perceptions may be, “Of course we won, we knew ours
    was the best.”
    Based on the outcomes of the examples above mentioned is we must be careful
    and aware of our own perceptions and what drives those perceptions is a key
    component to being successful at work. If we know why we believe something to
    be good, right, fair, negative, or unfair based on our perceptions, we can begin to
    let go of some of our misperceptions. As a result, developing good relationships
    at work, respect, and mutual understanding can create a better workplace.
    4. Explain the importance of self-esteem in your career?
    The Importance of self-esteem in our career as We all know that having good self-
    esteem is a key part of happiness. Employees who have a high level of self-esteem will
    trust their thinking and judgement and are therefore likely to make better decisions.
    Having these qualities also enables us to create more effective interpersonal and work
    relationships which means that we can more effectively contribute to the work
    environment around us. As leaders, high levels of self esteem mean we are able to focus
    more positively on other people and their development, rather than spend time
    berating our own performance.

    There is no doubt about it, a good sense of self-esteem has an impact on the way we
    operate in the workplace, how we deal with people and how much we achieve in our
    career.
