    Individual behavior is influenced by both internal and external factors. Personal factors like personality, abilities, and attitudes shape behavior, as do environmental stimuli from one's social and work environments. Behavior is a response to these influences rather than self-induced. It is founded on a combination of personal, psychological, organizational, and environmental factors that interact in a system to impact a person's actions.

    INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOR

    “Individual behavior means some concrete action by a person.”

    For instance, how a teacher behaves in the class reflects his behavior. The behavior
    of an individual is influenced by various factors.

    Some of the factors lies within him e.g., his instincts, personality
    traits, internal feelings, etc., while some lie outside him comprising the external
    environment of which he is a part e.g., events conveying some information, & other
    peoples’ behavior that directly influence his behavior etc.

    The environment acts as a ‘stimulus’ & the person


    responds to it. The teacher is affected by students’ behavior & in turn affects their
    behavior. Thus, individual behavior is not a self-induced phenomenon, but is
    affected by a larger system. For Ex: group, family, & the society within which one
    functions.
