Attitude-Organisation Behaviour
Before coming to the main topic, we must be clear about the term “Attitude”, what the term means.
ATTITUDE:
“An attitude is a hypothetical construct that represents an individual's degree of like or dislike for an item”. Attitudes are generally positive or negative views of a person, place, thing, or event-- this is often referred to as the attitude object. People can also be conflicted or ambivalent toward an object, meaning that they simultaneously possess both positive and negative attitudes toward the item in question.
Attitudes are judgments. They develop on the ABC model (affect, behavior, and cognition). The affective response is an emotional response that expresses an individual's degree of preference for an entity. The behavioral intention is a verbal indication or typical behavioral tendency of an individual. The cognitive response is a cognitive evaluation of the entity that constitutes an individual's beliefs about the object. Most attitudes are the result of either direct experience or observational learning from the environment.
It can also be defined as,” A complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways.”
For example, if someone says that “I like my Job”. This statement expresses his attitude towards his Job.
