Perception in an Organization

Perception is the information processing process that enables one to interpret and understand views in a different angle. It treats the subject expansively, with contributions from a wide variety of authors representing many disciplines. It covers a high quality publication written clearly and in brief, that will prove to be very useful for a subject matter.

Perception in an organization has interpersonal characteristics that questions ones action and motives and one has to give reasons (Hitt, Miller, & Colella 2009). It gives a set of ideas and knowledge that can be exercised in an organization to bring a situation. Behavior in the organization is based on people’s perception and there are many factors that influence how things are alleged. For instance, a person’s attitudes, expectations, motives, and interests make them take views from different angles according to the situation. Though people are constantly exposed to several information, they are likely to select only a few of them. The principle of perceptual selectivity explains why people select only a few out of the many inspiration they come across at any agreed time.

 Organizations sometimes find themselves in unusual circumstances where they find difficulties in dealing with certain situations; this may affect their work behavior considering their first impressions. The first impressions from people can cause a long-term impact in the organization. In some cases, organizations can be informed that the first impression was caused by inaccurate information, but still they tend to hold onto them to a certain level. The reason being, first impressions formed becomes self-governing as the evidence that formed them. By vigorously recognizing people’s perceptions and acknowledgment, organizations should build validation for their progress and get support when need arise.
