... This week’s primary objectives were to evaluate how attitudes and emotions influence behaviors, to explain ways personality and values influence behaviors, and to create a plan to increase employee motivation, satisfaction, and performance. This paper will analyze the information discussed by Learning Team A. Evaluate How Attitudes and Emotions Influence Behaviors Attitudes and emotions influence behaviors by the way a person acts. Their character, how they take criticism, and their composure under stress and pressure all directly affect their behavior. From a business standpoint, these things that would affect behavior would also affect how someone interacts with others which would be a determining factor as to how successful someone could be. Some people have negative attitudes about work and fall behind, while others stay positive and work through their issues. Sometimes, how an employee is treated by management can affect how employees work. Trying to build a good rapport and a positive work environment is vital to the overall success of a company. Attitudes and emotions influence behavior in a number of areas, not only in interpersonal relations, but also in life in general. A person’s attitude can determine how they handle stressful events, and their emotions guide those attitudes in the eventual construct of behavior in relation to those events. Explain Ways Personality and Values Influence Behaviors A person who has a caring and strong personality, in...

...Subject: Human Behavior Organization Date: October 29, 2014 ______________________________________________________________________________ Giving emotions to virtual character is written by Investigacion y Desarrollo located in this website (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/07/140731094647.htm). Researchers were able to stimulate human facial expressions in virtual characters and use them in order to create better environment within a virtual communication. So far, the so-called virtual agents also mimic human behavior through programmed commands or scripts, but this result in a very "robotic" reaction, which is not interesting for the user, said Marco Antonio Ramos Corchado, engineer at the Department of Computational Science at UAEM. The main objective of the research is to generate expressions and emotions based on real people, taking as reference the 43 muscles involved in facial behavior depending on the psychological environment. To achieve this in human models, tactile sensors were placed that release tiny electrical pulses to provoke different gestures with which a 3D camera captures the personality traits. With the data collected, multiple virtual characters were included in project called "serious game" which, unlike video games consoles or computers, does not seek to entertain, but to run different educational, scientific or civil strategies, detailed the UAEM engineer. Human behavior is strongly influenced...

...In this paper, a plan will describe ways in which a team can collaborate to increase the team’s motivation, satisfaction, and performance in a business setting. Specifically, the plan will demonstrate how similarities and differences in attitudes, emotions, personalities and values can be used to positively influence the team within the work environment. Attitudes Employees with high scores in the participation of their job really value and care about the quality of the work they perform and how it is related within the organization. They have a good attitude toward their job. Employees who score low in the participation of jobs will not care about how well they complete their job. They will not even care about their boss thinks about how they perform their job. It is known that managers who have positive attitudes can in turn motivate his or her employees. According to Judge & Robbins, this increases job performance. To motivate employees, managers should provide trainings as well as try to include employees in making decisions. This will provide them with an opportunity to provide their input on various issues. Sometimes, people have to modify their behavior because of certain situations. I heard a Social Worker describe an accomplishment made at a conference. When working with challenging clients, she learned to bite her tongue and let them be right. It was not worth the stress and headache...

...can prove to be the characters that the author creates. In the instance of Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” and D. H. Lawrence’s “The Rocking Horse Winner” the characters are built and the story is wrapped around the individual characterizations. In both Jackson’s and Lawrence’s short stories the reader is allowed to assume any of the possible details to fill in the missing parts of the story.

...Introduction: Consumer Behavior is the study of individuals, groups, or organizations and the processes they use to select, secure, and dispose of products, services, experiences, or ideas to satisfy needs and the impacts that these processes have on the consumer and society. It blends elements from psychology, sociology, social anthropology and economics. It attempts to understand the decision-making processes of buyers, both individually and in groups. It studies characteristics of individual consumers such as demographics and behavioral variables in an attempt to understand people's wants. It also tries to assess influences on the consumer from groups such as family, friends, reference groups, and society in general. Here we are analyzing buying behavior of three customers.

...The Impact of Korean Popular Culture on Consumer Behavior Abstract The Korean wave hit Asia in the early 2000’s, initially through television dramas, and has gradually skyrocketed in popularity, expanding its reach to the film and record industry as well. Its success is owed to the effective combination of Western pop-culture with an added Asian flavor, across all its industries. With the sudden influx of Korean boy or girl pop groups led by pop idols worshipped by many fans, the media industry managed to tap on the popularity of certain idols, starring them in television dramas and hence garnering support from fans all over Asia. Together with popular drama series came its respective memorabilia, such as posters, bags, accessories – you name it, they have it. This paper serves to explore how the wave of Korean popular culture (commonly known as the Hanryu) on television today has had an impact on the behavior of people who participate in this Hanryu culture, not only through purchases of memorabilia, but also through changes to their lifestyle. The Influence of Hanryu on Consumer’s Buying Behavior Media, and the television to be specific, can be seen as a medium for informal learning, as well as influence. It is sometimes known as a socializing agent, which can influence who we are and what is expected of us. Just like how advertisements serve to increase the perception that consumers have towards a certain brand or product, occasionally using attractive endorsers or impactful...

...Explain the relationship between consumer traits and behavior. Provide a specific example. What is consumer buying behavior and how is it impacted by internal and external factors? Buying behavior is the decision processes and acts of people involved in buying and using products. When trying to understand the complexity of consumer buying behavior it is important to understand the why consumers buy any products or contract any services. What influences a consumer to buy one brand over another? Personal behavior and character traits have a large role in the actions we take the decisions we make, including consumer choices. Traits Character traits are defined as enduring and stable patterns of behavior, attitudes, emotions, that vary between individuals (Dr Howell, 2014). Personality traits are everlasting characteristics that are consistently demonstrated in spite of changing circumstances or environment. Because they define habitual patterns of behavior, thought and emotion, they provide a foundation for predicting behavior. Researchers have linked personality traits to experiential buying tendencies, political orientation, and preference in pets, even more meaning connections to divorce, morbidity, and occupational attainment. Traits are a window into consumer motivations. Traits are hard for marketing plans to alter but a communication plan may be altered to focus on certain character traits. As an example, if a specific demographic has a certain political orientation...

...INTRODUCTION Personal Ethics Leadership is all about right behaviors, the right set of actions. Ethics can be defined with more than one meaning. Ethics, as a general understanding, is a set of principles to be followed as an individual. Personal ethics refer to a personal code of conduct when dealing with others. Most of the organizations will have ethics as part of their core values, in one form or the other. But how different is ethics for a person and for a leader? Emotional Intelligence It can be defined as the ability to use emotions intelligently and appropriately in different situations, combined with the ability to use emotions. Emotionally intelligent people are able to accurately recognize and comprehend emotion, both in them and in others, to appropriately express emotion, and to be able to control their own emotion so as to facilitate their own emotional, intellectual and spiritual growth. In short, emotionally intelligent people intentionally use their thinking and behavior to guide their emotions rather than letting their emotions dictate their thinking and behavior. Individual Ethics In today’s world, people can make a single decision that can have a profoundly positive or negative affect on the family, their employees, coworkers, a nation, and even on the entire world. Ethics is a set of values and principles that guide the behavior of an individual or a group. Personal ethics are different for each person but for the most part, people want to...

...1. Executive Summary The aim of this report in to critically analyse the implications of human resource practices in the Four Seasons brand. Unless diversity is supported, discrimination can appear in some cases, having a negative effect on the running of the business. Also, working in groups makes a great contribution to the company’s performance, allowing creativity to be put into practice. Leadership is the greatest issue, as it can make the difference. Following a vision of his own, the leader can influence each department and also control staff’s and customer’s emotions as they represent the key to a better reputation of the brand. Lastly, a personal reflection upon the workshops was written, illustrating the fact that they represent a better command of the subject. 2. Diversity and Groups Nowadays, managing a hotel brand is done with the help on diversity management (Mor Barak, 2005). There exist four magnitudes of diversity: tenancy, age, sex and race. After a study conducted by Ely (2004), race and sex are not irrelevant to performance, as opposed to tenancy and age which are judged by experienced staff who believe that wisdom comes with age. Cooperation and teamwork represent the key to the issue. Banks in the USA developed diversity education programs where employees were stimulated to work with the ones they did not accept, results being highly positive and thus leading to a better collaboration in the at near future (Ely, 2004). For the Four Seasons brand, extensive...

...1) Summarize your understanding of the “Relationship” concept. The “Relationship” concept to me within the 4R Model consists of this: being aware of personal character traits one should embody as a leader, along with being embedded with positive virtues, which can be described as striving for moral excellence or goodness and righteousness. These virtues can be broken down into four categories of attitudes and behaviors: Dynamic Determination - constant strives for one’s visions and goals when facing barriers and uncertainties. Intellectual Flex-ability - possessing humbleness, openness, and the capacity to accurately see oneself, along with others and the world. Courageous Character - embodying morals, values, and integrity. Emotional Maturity – being able to hold one’s composure and personal feelings when faced in difficult or anger some situations. This can all be summed up with the abbreviation of DICE. However, along with DICE, there is a fifth aspect, which is called Collaborative Quotient, or the +1 factor. DICE +1 – entails the leader to have the capacity to make relationships and partnerships with various people, along with oneself. This will later allow a leader to collectively be able to fulfill the following Roles and Responsibilities also given in the 4R Model. 2) Evaluate the concept by describing the most surprising and interesting ideas to you. I think first-hand the most surprising idea that came to mind was the idea of focusing on “virtues” rather...
