Abstract:
This research paper discusses three of the barriers in the social perception model, stereotypes, first impression error and selffulfilling prophecies
.
The main objective is to explain how these barriers impede the ability of employers to judge their employees and possible employees in an appropriate manner
.
In order to have an effective workforce managers should avoid two of the barriers, stereotypes and first impression error because they allow personal feelings and beliefs to get in the way of being able to judge employees professionally. Negative selffulfilling prophecies should be avoided altogether and instead use positive so that they help employees become more efficient and help boost employee moral.
Introduction:
Social perception is the process of interpreting information about another person.
(Nelson; Quick, 97. 2012) Perception affects the way in which people understand themselves and their surroundings. Within the model of social perception there are barriers that can lead to inaccurate thought of others. There are five barriers in the model, however our group will be presenting only three of them. The first barrier is stereotyping, a generalization about a group of people. Stereotypes are often inaccurate and harmful to the group of individuals it concerns. As research has found stereotype and social identity has been an ongoing issue that continues to have a negative impact and suppressing emotions. These negative impacts not only affect individual work performance, but also create an effect called the “stereotype threat spillover” which can cause and leave the surrounding work environment in a depleted state.

Employers should provide proper training for managers to reduce stereotyping in the workplace. As managers show less classifications of stereotyping, fellow employees will take note and follow their example. Another barrier is the
