Summary of chapter two

Bases of job-related behavior

                This chapter tackles with the discussions about the discussions about the factors that associated with the differences of job-related behaviors. It is said that factors such as individual differences and job setting greatly affects certain human behaviors in the work place. Behavior generally varies along two dimensions. Quantitative behaviors can be measured in some units appropriate to the behavior under consideration. Qualitative are behaviors that can be characterized by essentially evaluating view, somewhere along the scale of “goodness-badness” or”desirable-undesirable”. Thus we see that there are many kinds of variables that can influence the work performance or behavior of people. This research objective is to determine the relationship between specific individuals and situational variables and relevance of job related behaviors of people. The results from this can be used as the basis for taking some action to bring about improvement and implied strategy to seek optimized combination of people and jobs so as to increase effectiveness of human involvement in producing goods and services to enhance desirable human values in the process.
