Perception is defined as the process of receiving, organizing, and interpreting sensory information and using that information to guide reactions and behaviors. It involves selecting input from the environment, organizing that input, and interpreting what it means. Perception is affected by both external factors like intensity, size, and novelty, as well as internal factors like learning, motivation, and personality. It influences areas like employee selection, performance expectations, evaluations, and effort levels.
