ABC of Individual


ACCA - F1   ACCOUNTANT  IN  BUSINESS


Individuals create social societies wherever they go. Human are social creature. Unlike other resources of an organisation human, have emotions. Where other resources are consumed in process of achieving an organisation goals, human enhance its capability and competency to deal with changes and earn reward in various form to fulfill his needs and desires.

 It's hard to have control upon human resources (customers, employees/employers and stakeholders), which is part of/known as intellectual capital of an organisation or is also known as human assets. Whatever they are called and no matter in this advanced technological world where some literature talks about automaton (man turned to machine), economist still believed capital and workforce are core resources of an organisation. So, an individual's (A)attitude, (B)behaviour and (C)consequences of action plays an important role in the success of an organisation.

No two human is identical in behaviour. Provided same circumstances individuals can take different approach to fit in. Broadly, individual's behaviour can be classified as assertive, aggressive and passive.
Assertive behavior enables a person to act in his own best interests, to stand up for himself without undue anxiety, to express his honest felling comfortably, or to exercise his own rights without denying the rights of others. (Calberti and Emmons 1974)
Aggressive behavior is reactionary and impulsive behavior that often results in breaking household rules or the law; aggressive behavior is violent and unpredictable. Hostile or coercive words or actions that communicate disrespect towards others constitutes aggressive behaviour.
Passive behavior involves failing to express our wants, needs or feelings or communicating them in an indirect or apologetic way. When we fail to communicate our concerns or wishes, or express them in a hesitant, joking or self-depreciating way, other people will not know how we feel or will misinterpret our actions. As passive responders we allow others to 'walk over us' (the doormat syndrome). We allow our rights to be violated in the belief that we have fewer rights, or more responsibilities than others, and that we have less personal worth than they do. 

The role of an individual in an organisation is defined by individual's competency, ability, perception, personality, response to stress and attitudes.
