Attitudes influence behaviour from "summary" of Organisational Behaviour by Stephen Robbins,Timothy A. Judge,Bruce Millett,Maree Boyle
The way we think and feel about something can have a significant impact on how we act. Our attitudes can shape our behavior in both positive and negative ways. Knowing how to identify and manage our attitudes can help us to have more effective behavior.- For any individual, their attitude has a powerful effect on how they behave. It acts as an internal guide to help inform and shape the decisions they make in their life.
- Attitudes are derived from our beliefs, evaluations, and emotions about certain people, objects or events. They can be positive, negative or neutral but ultimately, all have influence over how we act.
- Understanding your own attitudes is of paramount importance to better comprehend why you behave the way you do. This understanding gives you the ability to challenge these attitudes and consider alternative perspectives.
- It's important to remember that we develop different attitudes from other people. This means it’s important to appreciate and respect the conflicting attitudes of others if you want a harmonious relationship.
- Attitudes towards work can be particularly effective at predicting employee performance. Employees who believe strongly in their organisation are more likely to make meaningful contributions within it.
- Your attitudes influence the behaviour not only of yourself, but also those around you. By choosing to act in a constructive manner, you can help to create a positive atmosphere for those around you.
