Importance of psychology in people management
On July 15, 2010
What do you think about a result of a survey in your organization regarding motivation of your employees? You may think you give many kind of benefits for them, so there is no reason for them to get de-motivate. But if you do such research you will be surprised. Because sometimes the people, you think that highly motivated will be the worst people.
That is psychology. People are different. They are having different ideas, attitudes perceptions and believes. Therefore its not like working with machines. A machine will provide same results under same conditions, but not people.
In our normal life we meet many people who is having different attitudes and believes. Have you ever tried to make a change of some one’s belief which is so attached with that person’s life? Actually that is a very difficult task. Because people are tend to build their whole
life according to the very strong beliefs they have. In that case changing that kind of belief is something like reborning that person.
“The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.”
William James
In organizations, it is very important to know about the employee’s mind. Because it is directly connected with employee’s motivation,performance,contribution, commitment. As I mentioned earlier people have different perceptions. Therefore their expectations also different. For example, if an employee is believing that giving medical insurance is highly benefit(according to his or her perception) then he or she will have an expectation of having that kind of benefit. Then by providing that kind of benefit will leads to motivate that employee. But at the same time the employee who doesn’t have a valuation will be de-motivated because he or she may have different perspectives.
Sometimes there are issues occurring with the employee association. Because different people have different attitudes. The attitude of an individual can be affect to the whole organization. Specially that can be a reason for turn over. Here psychology is playing a major role to identify people minds and make positive responses according to that.
