7skills required for Managerial Effectiveness
Technical SkillsThe ability to apply specialized knowledge or expertise. These are
specialized competencies which may require analytical ability or capability to use tools
& techniques important for delivering in the core business of an organization.
Very important at the lower level of management.
Interpersonal / Human Skills The ability to understand, communicate with,motivate and support other people both individually and in groups. People with
superior technical skills may lack in Human skills, but since the managers core
responsibility is to get their tasks accomplished from people, Human skills are very
important.
Conceptual Skills .Managers must have the mental ability to
analyze and diagnose complex situations. Conflict management,
anticipation of future problems or challenges which will impede task
accomplishment, develop alternative solutions to correct these
problems are abilities which are part of conceptual skills required in a
manager to be an effective manager.
Organizational Researchers have identified some key skills required by managers to
become effective in their roles. These are based on studies and data collated from
organizations

10effective versus successful managers
Fred Luthan and his associates studied to evaluate a co relation between successful
and effective managers and came out with results which have helped in defining
Managerial activities into 4 different groups
To add to this, the study clearly differentiated between an average manager, an effective
and a successful manager by the degrees of time spent in each of the 4 managerial
activities by them
Traditional ManagementDecision making, planning & controlling
CommunicationExchanging routine information, and processing paperwork
Human Resource ManagementMotivating, disciplining, managing
conflict, staffing and training
NetworkingSocializing, politicking and interacting with outsiders
8/10/2019 OB-I Intro- Diversity- Personality & Values- Emotions & Moods.ppt
11/92
11allocation of Activities by Time
The average manager spent 32% of his /her time in traditional activities,
29% in communicating, 20% in Human Resource activities and 19% in
Networking.
But the results clearly showed that to become successful, networking is key
and successful managers spend 48% of their time in networking, even
communicating is a distant second at 28%.

A field of study that investigates the impact of individuals, groups and structure on theperformance of an organization. The purpose of the study is to apply the learning's
garnered from the study to maximize the growth and performance of the organization.
OB uses evidence based management complementing systematic study adding to
intuition before taking managerial decisions.
Systematic study looks at relationships attempting to attribute causes and effects and
drawing conclusions based on scientific evidence.
A clear outcome of such a study is to predict behavior and influence decision making in
an organization.

A model is an abstraction of reality, a simplified representation of some real world
phenomenon.
The basic OB model is based on 3 types of variables viz. inputs, processes and
outcomes at three levels of analysis viz. individual, group and organizational.
The basic OB model showcases independent and dependent variables. Dependent
variables move on the basis of actions and behavior exhibited by the independent
variables like individuals, groups and organization.

Case Study
Manoranjan and Latika are co-workers who seem to have little in common
in first glance. Manoranjan is a young, recently hired male college graduate
with a business degree, raised in a Bengali speaking neighborhood in Delhi.
Latika is an older long-tenured woman raised in rural Orissa, who achieved
her current level in the organization by starting as a high school graduate
and working her way through the hierarchy.
At first these co-workers experienced some differences in communication
based on their surface level differences in education, ethnicity, regional
background, and gender.
But eventually they found similarities like deep commitment to their families,
a common way of thinking about important work problems, common
aspirations for international assignments in the future.
These deep level similarities will overshadow the
superficial surface level dissimilarities and help them in
collaborating to work efficiently.

Prateek and Vivek are two unmarried male college grads from Bangalore whorecently started working together. Superficially they seem evenly matched.
Prateek is highly introverted, prefers to avoid risks, solicits the opinions of
others before making decisions, and likes the office quiet.
Vivek is extraverted, risk seeking, and assertive and likes a busy, active and
energetic work environment.
Their surface level similarity will not necessarily lead to positive interactions,
because they have such fundamental and deep level differences. It will be a
challenge for them to collaborate and work together as their values, beliefs arecompletely in conflict.

Discrimination
Discrimination means, allowing our behavior to be influenced by
stereotypes about groups of people.
Discrimination in itself is not harmful if its recognized on healthy terms viz.noticing one employee is more qualified for making hiring decisions and
another is taking on leadership responsibilities exceptionally well.
But when it goes beyond looking at individual characteristics unfair
discrimination assumes everyone in a group is the same, which in turn is
harmful to organizations and employees
Most overt forms of discrimination have faded after coming under legal
scrutiny and social disapproval but covert forms like incivi l i tyor
exclusionhas increased
Discrimination causes serious negative consequences for employersincluding reduced pro duc t iv i ty and cit izenship behavior,

Intellectual Ability and its influence on OB
Researchers recognize a general factor of intelligence , General Mental Ability (GMA)
and evidence supports the idea that the structures and measures of intellectual abilitiesgeneralize across cultures.
Jobs differ in the demands they place on intellectual abilities. The more complex a job in
terms of information processing demands, the more general intelligence and verbal
abilities will be necessary to perform successfully.
Interestingly, while intelligence is a big help in performing a job well,, it doesnt make
people happier or more satisfied with their jobs. The correlation between intelligence and
job satisfaction is about zero.
Research suggests that while intelligent people get their job done faster, their
expectations from their workplace, peers and subordinates are also substantially high

Effective, comprehensive workforce programs encouraging diversity have 3 distinct
components.
Legal Framework Managers are taught the legal framework for equal employmentopportunities and encourage fair treatment of all people regardless of their
demographic characteristics
Diverse WorkforceManagers are taught how a diverse workforce will be better able
to serve a diverse market of customers & clients.
Personal Development Practices - Foster personal development practices that bring
out skills and abilities of all workers, acknowledging how differences in perspective can
be a valuable way to improve performance for everyone.
Diversity has to do much about fair treatment and stop undue discrimination on the
basis of race, gender, ethnicity and so on and forth..
Organizations acknowledge this cannot be achieved through one time
programs and needs constant sessions or workshops to change

developing personality traits in individual than the environment.

59/92
The Myers Brigg TypeIndicator (MBTI)
Respondents are classified under any of the 4 terms. These classifications together
describe 16 personality types, identifying every individual by one trait from each of
the 4 pairs
For example, an Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking and Judging (INTJ) person is a
visionary with an original mind and great drive.
Extraverted, Sensing, Thinking & Judging (ESTJ) are organizers, realistic, analytical,
logical and often are a natural for business or mechanics
Weakness
Research and empirical evidence is clearly against using MBTI as a measuring tool tomake hiring decisions at the workplace
It forces every individual into one type or another; whereas in reality, people can be
both extraverted or introverted to some degree. Hence MBTI is a reliable tool only
for self awareness and providing career guidance and not for making crucial hiring
decisions or to predict individual effectiveness in a job10/26/2014 59PGC Business Management -

Other Personality traitsrelevant to OB
Individuals high in core self evaluations see themselves as effective, capable and in control of
their environment. This directly relates to job satisfaction as they see more challenge in their
jobs and attain more complex jobs. Job performance also tends to be extraordinary as they
set ambitious goals, are persistent and ascend rapidly over time.
Those with negative core self evaluations tend to dislike themselves, question their
capabilities and view themselves as powerless over their environment.
Core Self Evaluation
High on pragmatism, maintains emotional distance and believes ends can justify means. High
Machs manipulate more, win more, are persuaded less and persuade others more. They like
their jobs less, take a lot of stress and engage in more deviant work behaviors.
High Machs flourish (i) when they interact face to face (ii) when the situation has minimal
rules and regulations (iii) when emotional involvement with details irrelevant to winning
distracts low Machs. Hence Jobs which require high bargaining skills or in commissioned
sales, high Machs are very productive

A person who has a grandiose sense of self importance, requires excessive admiration, has asense of entitlement, is arrogant and has low empathy towards others. Evidence suggests that
narcissists are more charismatic and are more likely to emerge as leaders.
Though not a desirable trait, Narcissists are known to be leaders and grow rapidly as they are
manipulative and have no empathy towards employees. They tend to whittle down opposition
in the ranks and file of the organization and do not take feedback in a positive light.
Research has shown that barring a few narcissist CEOs, the more pragmatic and affable
leaders are more effective in their performance

Individuals high on self monitoring show considerable adaptability in adjusting their behaviorto situations and are more tactical in their approach and interactions with co-workers. They
tend to be highly mobile, get appraised better than low monitors and are highly successful in
their workplace.
Low Monitors however tend to display their true dispositions and attitudes in every situation
and stick to the conventional. Hence growth is largely stunted or very difficult to achieve.

An Individual high on risk taking ability manages to take quick decisions based on calculatedrisks. Research suggests that the effectiveness and success ratio enjoyed by risk takers is the
same as people who are averse to taking risks.
Risk Taking
People who take active initiative to improve their current circumstances or create new onesare also called as proactive personalities. They show action, initiative and persevere until
meaningful change occurs and hence are more successful in jobs which require high
persistence levels and positivity
Proactives are also likely to challenge the status quo or voice their displeasure when
situations arent to their liking. Proactives make good entrepreneurial candidates, however
they are also more likely to leave organizations faster to start their own ventures.
Proactive Personality
Individuals with high level of other orientation feel more obligated to help others who have
helped them, whereas those who are more self oriented will help others when they expect to
be helped in the future by them

importance
Values represent basic convictions. They contain a judgmental element in that theycarry an individualsideas as to what is right, good or desirable
Values have content and intensity attributes. The content attributes says a mode of
conduct or end-state of existence is important. The intensity attribute specifies how
important it is.
Every Individual has a set of values and gives relative importance to freedom, self
respect, honesty, obedience, equality, faith and so on and so forth.
These values are generally established in the formative years of a child through
parents, teachers and mentors and hence not very fluid and flexible. However they
can change as per the situation or after being continuously exposed to a differentenvironment.
For example, an individual must have been taught not to take bribes, but working in
an government organization, they may be forced to take bribes on account of peer
pressure and standard unofficial norms, which if not, abided may make co-workers
antagonistic towards the individual10/26/2014 67PGC Business Management -

Satisfaction is highest and turnover lowest when personality and occupation are in
agreement.
Realistic (R) person in a realistic job is more congruent viz. agreeable situation than
a realistic person in an investigative or a social job.
Numerous studies done in this area supports the value of assessing vocational
interests in the selection process with a match between interests and job
requirements.
For example, individuals higher in openness to experience as children, were more
likely to take jobs, high on the investigative and artistic dimensions

Primary Influences of Emotions and moods
Personality Moods and emotions have a trait
component. Hence we observe affectively intensepeople experience both positive and negative
emotions more deeply. People can experience the
same moods at different intensities based on their
personality traits
Day of the week and time of the day People tend to
be in their best moods in the latter half of the week and
in their worst moods on a Monday aka Monday blues.
Weather Even weather can influence moods or
emotions. A dull and gloomy weather can bring outa sad mood in people or can make them depressed
and a bright and sunny weather can make the day
exciting as well.
Stressa constant diet of low stressful events can also
cause workers to experience a gradual increase ofstrain over time. Isolated stressful events at work or
home can also impact your mood in a negative manner
Social Activities Social activities like partying
with friends, or interacting with like minded
people or planning informal trips out can alsohave a positive effect on a personsmoods.
Sleep Inadequate sleep or poor quality of sleep can
also influence and bring about negative emotions in
people
Exercise, Age and Sex are three other sources which can have an influence or
bearing on the moods and emotions of people
85Impact of Emotional Labor on employees
8/10/2019 OB-I Intro- Diversity- Personality & Values- Emotions & Moods.ppt
85/92
Emotional Labor is relevant to almost every job. Its an employeesexpression of
organizationally desired emotions during interpersonal transactions at work.The true challenge arises when employees have to project one emotion while
feeling another. This disparity is called emot ional d issonance.
Emotional dissonance takes a heavy toll on employees job performance and job
satisfaction
Surface Acting is hiding inner feelings and forgoing emotional expressions in
response to display rules. This is more stressful than deep acting.
Deep Acting is trying to modify our inner feelings based on display rules.
86Affective Events Theory
8/10/2019 OB-I Intro- Diversity- Personality & Values- Emotions & Moods.ppt
86/92
AET model demonstrates
that employees react
emotionally to things that
happen to them at work
and this reaction
influences performance
and satisfaction at the
work place.
Emotions provide valuable insights into how work place hassles and uplifting emotions
influence employee performance and satisfaction and drive employee attitude at the
workplace.
Secondly, employees and managers shouldntignore emotions or the events that cause
them, even when they seem to be minor as they accumulate over a period of time
