PERCEPTUAL ERRORS
The importance of perception and attribution and the impact it has on a leader, an employee, and the organization as a whole. The text elaborates on the perceptual process, external and internal factors that influence perception, person perception, perceptual errors, and attributions that people make to explain their behaviors and those of others. Perception is the process by which people interpret the input from their senses to give meaning and order to the world around them. According to the text, it is the process by which individuals select, organize, and interpret sensory data. The three components of perception are the perceiver, the target (the perceived), and the situation. The perceptual process begins with environmental stimuli and ends with a response or behavior. The perceiver responds to meaningful environmental stimuli and perceives what he or she wants and expects to see. The perceived is said to be influential in the perceptual process because certain general attributes of the perceived object, person or idea influenced what is noticed and what is not. The nature of the environment therefore influences what is perceived as normal or appropriate.
Example of Perceptual Errors
FOR EXAMPLE ONE OF OUR GROUP MEMBERS DIDN’T ATTEND GROUP MEETING. WHEN QUESTIONED WHY THEY DIDN’T COME THEY SAID THEY HAD SOME OTHER PROBLEM. EVERY GROUP MEMBER IS SUPPOSED TO INFORM ONE ANOTHER EARLIER IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND MEETINGS.
ALSO, AFTER DESIGNATING SPECIFIC TASKS TO ALL GROUP MEMBERS, SOME OF THEM DID NOT COMPLETE THEIR PARTS.
SOME OF THE GROUP MEMBERS HAD DIFFERENT OPINIONS WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO DECIDE ON A TOPIC AND COMPLETE TASKS ON TIME.
DIFFICULTY TO ARRANGE TIME AMONG THE GROUP O DISCUSS WHEN TASKS HAVE BEEN GIVEN.
MEMBERS FROM THE SAME DEPARTMENT / FUNCTIONAL AREA INVOLVED IN EFFORTS TO IMPROVE WORK ACTIVITIES OR TO SOLVE SPECIFIC PROBLEMS.
