Introduction

It is very essential to understand human behavior in


today's world as the existence of the organization
depends on the employees/individuals.
Without understanding human behavior it is very
difficult to work in an organization. In order to
understand human behavior let us see how the perception
of human being has changed from time to time.
Introduction

Human behavior is very much unpredictable. In


behavior we cannot assume one set pattern of behavior.

Lavitt classified behavior as:


(i) Caused behavior,
(ii) Motivated behavior,
(iii)Goal oriented behavior.
Theories on Human Behavior
Psychoanalytic theories
Early psychoanalytic theories of human behavior were
set forth most notably by Austrian neurologist Sigmund
Freud. Freud’s ideas were influenced by Charles
Darwin’s theory of evolution and by the physical concept
of energy as applied to the central nervous system.
Theories on Human Behavior
Psychoanalytic theories
Freud’s most basic hypothesis was that each child is
born with a source of basic psychological energy called
libido. Further, each child’s libido becomes successively
focused on various parts of the body (in addition to
people and objects) in the course of his or her emotional
development.
Theories on Human Behavior
Piaget’s theory
Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget took the intellectual
functioning of adults as the central phenomenon to be
explained and wanted to know how an adult acquired the
ability to think logically and to draw valid conclusions
about the world from evidence. Piaget’s theory rests on
the fundamental notion that the child develops through
stages until arriving at a stage of thinking that resembles
that of an adult.
Theories on Human Behavior
Learning theory
Learning is any relatively permanent change in
behavior that results from past experience. There are two
generally recognized learning processes: classical and
instrumental conditioning, both of which use
associations, or taught relations between events or
stimuli, to create or shape behavioral responses.
Theories on Human Behavior
Learning theory
In classical conditioning, a close temporal relation is
maintained between pairs of stimuli in order to create an
association between the two.

Instrumental, or operant, conditioning involves


creating a relationship between a response and a
stimulus.
Four Principles of Human Behavior

Principles are truths not limited by age, time, location,


or situation. Once you become familiar with behavior
principles, you will see them illustrated all around you—
between parents and children, in stores, on playgrounds,
at family events, etc.
Four Principles of Human Behavior
• Principle One: Behavior is largely a product of its
immediate environment.
• Principle Two: Behavior is strengthened or weakened
by its consequences.
• Principle Three: Behavior ultimately responds better to
positive than to negative consequences.
• Principle Four: Whether a behavior has been punished
or reinforced is known only by the course of that
behavior in the future.
