2. INTRODUCTION
The psychological process that allow an individual to
adjust his behaviour are called perception.
The behaviour of an individual is inclined by his
personality, motives and efforts.
The behavior and performance provides satisfaction to
the employees who get stimulated to work more and
develop his personality and work quality.
3. PERCEIVER & PERCEIVED
Perception depends on how an individual views the objects and
situations.
Some employees may perceive the workplace as incorporating favorable
working conditions, while others may perceive it as a place of good pay.
The perception is not actual reality, but it is the viewing of the reality,
which differs from person to person according to their respective
characteristics.
Perception of the object are influenced not only the individual’s
characteristics but also by the characteristics of other employees, the
manager’s personality and employee’s views from their perception of
the workplace.
The characteristics of employees, attitude, motives, interests, habits,
experience, expectation, learning and personality have a greater
influence on perception formation.
5. PERCEPTION
• perception is defined as a cognitive process by which
people attend to incoming stimuli, organize and interpret such
stimuli into behavior.
• The perceptual process begins with receiving stimuli from
the environment and ends with our interpretation of those
stimuli. This process is typically unconscious and happens
hundreds of thousands of times a day.
• When we attend to or select one specific thing in our
environment, it becomes the attended stimulus.
6. • A sequence of steps that involves, sequentially:
selection of stimuli in the environment, organization of
that information, and interpretation of those stimuli.
• Organization of stimuli happens by way of neural
processes; this starts with our sensory receptors (touch,
taste, smell, sight, and hearing), and is transmitted to our
brains, where we organize the information we receive.
• After we receive and organize stimuli, we can interpret
those stimuli, which simply means that we take the
information and turn it into something that we can
categorize.
7. COMPONENTS
STIMULI
Receipt of information stimulus which result in sensation.
ATTENTION
People attend to certain stimuli since it is necessary for them.
RECOGNITION
After paying attention to stimuli the employees try to recognize if it is
worth realizing.
TRANSLATION
The stimuli are evaluated before be converted into action or behavior.
this evaluation process is called translation
8. BEHAVIOUR
It is an outcome of cognitive process. Behavior of an
individual is shaped by his learning and personality,
internal and external factors, etc.
PERFOMANCE
Proper behaviour needs higher performance and it is a
source of stimuli and motivation
SATISFACTION
High performance gives more satisfaction and it can be
calculated by the difference between performance and
expectations.
9. PERCEPTION PROCESS
A sequence of steps that involves, sequentially:
selection of stimuli in the environment.
organization of that information.
Interpretation of those stimuli.
10. Selection of stimuli in the environment
Selection of inputs are the sensation received through
all five of our senses. (sight, smell, hearing, feeling,
taste)
When we say select, we don’t mean just a conscious
selection effort. Selection is actually more of an
awareness process.
11. Organization of that information.
We organize and prioritize the data so that certain
information stands out over other information. This
organization is based on our experience and may not
be shared by others . Each of us has a unique method
of organizing.
12. Interpretation of those stimuli.
We manipulate the data to give meaning to the
information that has been selected and sorted. All we
have is data which makes no sense and has no
meaning.
We search our memory and assign meaning to the data
based on its similarity to our previous experience
13. CONCLUSION
Perception means a process by which individuals organize
and interpret their sensory impressions in order to give
meaning to their environment.
It depends on how an individual views the objects and
situation.
Person can view objects and situation as per their
personality levels. The age, sex, motivation learning levels
etc. influence perception.
