This document discusses several topics related to organizational behavior including contributing disciplines, challenges, effects of emotions and moods, cross-cultural dynamics, stress, perception, learning, conflict, social loafing, virtual teams, and concepts of groups. Key behavioral science disciplines that contribute to organizational behavior include psychology, sociology, social psychology, and anthropology. Challenges include workforce diversity, globalization, changing employee expectations, and ethical issues. Emotions and moods can impact decision making, creativity, negotiation, customer service, and job attitudes. Cross-cultural dynamics in organizations must consider issues like stereotyping, cultural clashes, and intergroup conflicts.
Group Dynamics - LESSON 10 - Performance
People join groups to get things done. Those people like workers, protectors, builders, decision makers and problem solvers are working together by the use of their abilities and talents to accomplish their goals and overwhelm themselves. Hence, they must perform, maximize their effort and coordinate in order to encounter problems effectively.

Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing in Ireland 2019Amarach Research
A survey of the Irish population about the sources of mental health and wellbeing, drawing on the Human Givens framework in relation to psychological needs and resources.
Leading with passion: Leadership from the perspective of emotionsShiva Kakkar
Successful leaders are known to motivate people by stimulating them emotionally. In the words of Ken Blanchard, “the key to successful leadership is influence, not authority”. Leaders have the uncanny ability to understand emotions in other people and influence them. This ability is often termed as ‘Emotional Intelligence’ (EI). While there is enough OB literature present on the salient features of EI, very few studies have actually attempted to explain how EI is operationalized into practice. The objective of this paper is to study this particular aspect i.e. how leaders affect their followers and manage their emotional states. The comprehension and management of emotions in others is in itself an emotionally challenging task for the leader. Therefore, the second objective of the paper is to understand how leaders regulate their own emotions. Lastly, we cover the topic of ‘Emotional Intelligence’ and try to get new insights into the subject building upon the views proposed in the paper. The paper aims to synthesize concepts from various leadership and emotion theories and provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject.

From Psychological point of view guidance and counselling are needed because no individual can succeed in all situations or activities of life. For example, all students cannot do well in science courses. Only those who have an aptitude for scientific studies can succeed. Success in every situation or activity of life is determined by certain abilities and skills. Researches in Psychology have revealed that there are found marked differences among individuals with regard to these abilities, aptitudes, interests and skills. Everyone cannot do everything with equal efficiency.

Self-Determination Theory and the Facilitation of Intrinsic .docxbagotjesusa
Self-Determination Theory and the
Facilitation of Intrinsic Motivation,
Social Development, and Well-Being
Richard M. Ryan and Edward L. Deci
University o f Rochester
Human beings can be proactive and engaged or, alterna-
tively, passive and alienated, largely as a function o f the
social conditions in which they develop and function. Ac-
cordingly, research guided by self-determination t h e o ~
has focused on the social-contextual conditions that facil-
itate versus forestall the natural processes of self-motiva-
tion and healthy psychological development. Specifically,
factors have been examined that enhance versus undermine
intrinsic motivation, self-regulation, and well-being. The
findings have led to the postulate of three innate psycho-
logical needs--competence, autonomy, and relatedness--
which when satisfied yield enhanced self-motivation and
mental health and when thwarted lead to diminished mo-
tivation and well-being. Also considered is the significance
of these psychological needs and processes within domains
such as health care, education, work, sport, religion, and
psychotherapy.
T he fullest representations o f humanity show people to be curious, vital, and self-motivated. At their best, they are agentic and inspired, striving to learn; ex-
tend themselves; master new skills; and apply their talents
responsibly. That most people show considerable effort,
agency, and commitment in their lives appears, in fact, to
be more normative than exceptional, suggesting some very
positive and persistent features o f human nature.
Yet, it is also clear that the human spirit can be
diminished or crushed and that individuals sometimes re-
ject growth and responsibility. Regardless of social strata
or cultural origin, examples o f both children and adults
who are apathetic, alienated, and irresponsible are abun-
dant. Such non-optimal human functioning can be observed
not only in our psychological clinics but also among the
millions who, for hours a day, sit passively before their
televisions, stare blankly from the back o f their classrooms,
or wait listlessly for the weekend as they go about their
jobs. The persistent, proactive, and positive tendencies o f
human nature are clearly not invariantly apparent.
The fact that human nature, phenotypically expressed,
can be either active or passive, constructive or indolent,
suggests more than mere dispositional differences and is a
function of more than just biological endowments. It also
bespeaks a wide range of reactions to social environments
that is worthy o f our most intense scientific investigation.
Specifically, social contexts catalyze both within- and be-
tween-person differences in motivation and personal
growth, resulting in people being more self-motivated,
energized, and integrated in some situations, domains, and
cultures than in others. Research on the conditions that
foster versus undermine positive human potenti.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
