Abstract
This study examines the impact of perception on work behavior. Individual
differences are important in studying organizational behavior and management for
a very important reason. Individual differences have a direct effect on behavior,
every person is unique because of his perception, people with different perceptions
have different characteristics, needs, and how they perceive the world and other
individuals and interact differently with bosses, co-workers, subordinates and
customers. Individual perceptions shape organizational behavior and consequently
individual and organizational success for example, individual differences help
examine why some people embrace exchange and others are fearful of it. Or why
some employees will be productive only if they are closely supervised, while others
will be productive only if they are not .Or why some workers learn new tasks more
effectively than others A helpful way to think about the importance of individual
differences in influencing work behavior is through the use of the Attraction Selection-Attrition (ASA) framework. Different people are attracted to different
careers and organizations as a function of their own abilities, interests and
personalities. Similarly, organization select employees on the basis of the needs the
organization has. Needs refers to not only to skills and abilities, but also to
individual attributes such as values, and personality. Not all attraction decisions
and selection decisions work out, however, Attrition occurs when individuals
discover they do not like being part of the organizations and selects to resign or
when the organization determines an individual isn’t succession and select to
terminate.
