Reflection Of The Task Conducted By Me As A Group Member During Completion Of My Coursework

Burger (2008), says that there are many theories of personality and psychologists try to explain it with their own approaches. Discussed here will be the psychoanalytic approach, the trait approach, the biological approach the humanistic approach, the behavioural/social learning approach and the cognitive approach. They were devised to search for specific patterns in behaviour and ways of thinking about these

“The function of self-examination is to lay the groundwork for insight, without which no growth can occur”, Brouwer. According to Developing Management Skills, the knowledge we possess about ourselves, which makes up our self -concept, is central to improving our management skills. The book also stated that we cannot improve ourselves of develop new capabilities unless and until we know what level of capability we currently possess.

Personality and how we behave have been of much interest to psychologists for a long time now and because of this there have been many theories and theorists that have been developed. Personality is defined as consistent behavior patterns and intrapersonal processes originating within and individual (Fritzley, 2012, p. 10). There are six main approaches to personality psychology they include: biological approach, humanistic approach, behaviorist approach, trait approach, psychoanalytic approach and cognitive approach. Each approach shines a little light onto why we behave the way we do and how our personalities are formed, the approaches contain many different theories from

There comes a time in life where individuals have to leave school to join the world of work whereby they will work their way up to the top. This is where career development comes into place. Career development is defined as progress through various stages in a career (Schreuder & Coetzee,2011). These are stages one goes through in order to mature in a career and for development to even exist, one has to start with making a career choice then developing it .A career choice can be defined as the relation between people’s personality types and their different occupational environment in which they work in.

Out of the many course objectives listed in the syllabus the one that I am confident in that the class succeeded is designing and implementing a group activity and co-leading that group. Throughout the semester we were given exercises conducted by the professor with duration of 45 minutes, this included occasionally a warm-up, the activity itself and a post discussion. The primary goal of the class was to take these exercises and layout into consideration when devising our own activity for our wellness group (Getting Through NYU!) based on our needs assessment results. With a partner we had to choose a problem that the class required help with, for example: time management. We use that topic to develop an activity that would assist the group members to become better time managers and list three short term goals that we think the members will be able to demonstrate by the end of the session, followed by one long term goal. Everyone developed professional, imaginative and organized activities. From what I observed the partners also worked cohesively with each other and shared their responsibilities, presenting effective co leadership skills.

Allport defines personality as ‘the dynamic organisation within the individual of those psychological systems that determine his unique adjustment to his environment’ (Allport, 1937). An individual’s unique personality traits and attributes are a powerful indicator of how he/she will interact with the work environment. The difference between average and outstanding employees can often be solely personality related. As the employee is the most valuable asset to the company, ‘selecting the right employee during the process is critical’ (Carbery and Cross, 2013, pp. 41-53)

The desired outcomes that Myer’s managers used was raised the salary for the members who had more contribution for the company. On the other hand, the social learning theory works on Myer’s management system also. Myer encourage their members to learn some good behaviour or skills from other members, the managers will monitor the performance and correct the mistakes they made. In 2011, Myer received many positive feedbacks from team members and customers (Myer 2011, p11), which means the members were satisfied with this management theory and they were kept a good motivation, then they would try their best to provide services to fulfil customers’ needs.

This paper is my analytic theorem to my Blueprint of Professional and Personal Growth from the course “Managing People & Promoting Collaboration”. It gives a brief breakdown of my path to become a manager I aspire to be, how my relationship with my family, partner and work can be a root of my happiness and how sure I maintain my personal integrity of ethics and morales within my work environment. An executive summary is presented to show how the course educated me in a more systematic way and how it helped me identify my strengths and weakness as

“Group work is a form of voluntary association of members benefiting from cooperative learning that enhances the total output of the activity than when done individually”.

Personality has been inherently defined as possession of a particular set of characteristics possessed by people which influences their behaviour and reactions in different situation along with their motivation level to react to difficulties at the workplace. However, understanding personality traits and their development has been a contentious matter. Nonetheless, various theories have been forwarded to rather contribute to this contentious debate. For example employers set goals and encourage involvement with the company to have a better employee performance, which would result in higher motivation level subsequently leading to increased efficiency. Studies regarding the relationship between personality traits of a particular employee

As we begin to form our self-managed work teams this week for the final report and presentation due at the end of session, I begin to reflect on the situations where I have had to be part of a group. Accordingly, past experiences have led me to form a generally negative viewpoint with regards teamwork in both the education and workplace setting. In most situations, group work is facilitated by a single leader responsible for ensuring that all members complete their work to the required standard. Nevertheless, this has lead to situations where team members often become unproductive or dysfunctional. For one thing, conflict – whether it be task or relational – arises between team members and leaders when they begin to feel that they are subject to the leader’s authoritarian behaviour or scrutiny. For another, the leaders responsible for the management of the group begin to feel underappreciated or dissatisfied with the levels of task productivity generated by group members. In stating this, I have experienced both sides of single leadership team management – with mostly disastrous results – where negative team performance ultimately reflected on assessment grades.

Countless studies and meta-analysis have been done on the effect of the individual personality on success, whether it be within the workplace or an educational institute (ETS, 2016).
