Perceptual distortions are also relevant here Recognise there might only be a part question with other individual processes
7 Unit Title: Organisational Behaviour Level: Diploma in Business Management Learning Outcome: Unit Code: OB 4. Candidates will have completed and fulfilled their understanding of the individual by considering attitude and learning processes.

Discuss the role of the manager in handling stressful situations. 4.7 Describe the problems of individuals in work roles, the conflicts that might arise and means available to realise expectations and improved performance. Examiner s Tips: Questions on attitudes tend to test knowledge and understanding but with one part of the question looking for application of understanding in the work situation Learning forms a relatively small part of the syllabus and questions arise proportionately. However it may form part of a question with the other individual processes Have a look at Mullins, Chapters 4 and 5 as well as Units 3 and 5 in the ABE Study Manual for extra support Always study the form of past examination papers and the style and frequency of questions

10 Examiner s Tips: Underpin your study of motivation by looking at Chapter 14 in Mullins and Unit 4 in the ABE Study Manual Motivation is normally a banker question although the actual form of the question is more difficult to predict. Real understanding rather than prepared answers is therefore advised Be prepared for questions that ask for content and process theories and always address the question asked rather than relate all you know about a theory, e.g. Maslow Be able to discuss the motivation appropriate to different types of employee
