Document Summary

January 28, 2016 aitudes and work behaviours. Aitude: a fairly stable evaluaive tendency to respond consistently to some speciic object, situaion, person, or category of people. Stable doesn"t change quickly or easily. Evaluaive how much you like/dislike something. Feelings and how you respond to it. Cogniive: your thoughts or beliefs about the aitude object. Afecive: your feelings or emoions toward the aitude object, even if not expressed, you may have a general impression. Behavioural: how you behave toward the aitude object. When i see my professor in the halls i run away. So think + feel + act = aitude behaviour: aitude-behaviour relaionship. Research suggests that the relaionship is weak. E. g. , job saisfacion to absenteeism r = -. 15 to -. 25. Job saisfacion to job performance r = . 11 to . 25. Aitude strength: just because i have an aitude towards something, that doesn"t mean i feel strongly for/against it.
