Bibliography. "The field of organizational behaviour has reckoned individual performance as its primary dependent variable while there is less direct focus on performance in most of the studies, nearly every research write up attempts to draw some implication for management or for current organizational practices.

These implications are usually couched in performance terms. Work performance is the degree to which an individual executes his or her role with reference to certain specified standards set by the organization.

Performance is a dependent variable of interest in the study of organizational behaviour because the goals and objectives of the organization are measured in terms of performance or achievement. Work performance is a fundamentally important construct in organizational practice and research.

It is a complex phenomenon that depends on various factors. A multidimensional approach is required to study (less)

Once upon a time and not all that long ago - HR management practitioners were expected to be the traffic cops of their organizations. It was their responsibility to note legal noncompliance or departures from organizational policies and then punish transgressors, just as traffic cops watch for and issue tickets to drivers who exceed speed limits.

As a direct consequence of this compliance orientation, some HR management practitioners became risk averse-and some remain so to this day. They oppose innovative actions taken to leverage the talents of organizational members for the simple reason that trading on new ground means taking new risks, which could (less)

The History of education in Modern times is the history of teaching and learning. Each generation, since the beginning of human evolution and writing, has sought to pass on cultural and social values, traditions, morality, religion and skills to the next generation.

The passing on of culture is also known as enculturation and the learning of social values and behaviours is socialization. The history of the curricula of such education reflects human history itself, the history of knowledge, beliefs, skills and cultures (less)
