Meaning of Perception
Penky D'berria
Meaning of Perception
“Perception may be define as the process of selecting, organising, and interpreting or attaching meaning to events happening in environment.”
People often see the same phenomenon differently both within organization and outside the organization.
Situations remaining the same, causes have been assigned differently by different group of persons.
Penky D'berria
Features of Perception
Perception is the Intellectual Process
It is the psychological process; and
It is the subjective process
Penky D'berria
Sensation v/s Perception
Sensation is based on reality, perception is based on abstract.
Sensation is for understanding situation where as perception is to understand mind of person.
Sensation remain same at all person, where as perception differs.
Perception is more complex and much broader than sensation.
Penky D'berria
Nature & importance of Perception
Perception is a very complex cognitive process that yields unique picture of the world.
In the organizational behaviour employee's perception thought of as a 'filter'. Because perception is largely learned and no one has the same learning and experience. So same situation may produce different reaction and behaviours.

Perceptual selectivity
Attention Factors in Selectivity Intensity Size Contrast Repetition Motion Novelty and familiarity
Penky D'berria
Intensity The intensity principle state that the more intense the
external stimulus, the more likely it is to be perceived. A loud noise, strong odor, will be noticed more than soft
sound, weak odor. Size
This principle says that the larger the object, the more likely it will be perceived.
e.g. Professor or manager
Penky D'berria
Contrast The contrast principle state that external stimuli that
stand out against the background or that are not what people are expecting will receive their attention.
e.g. Sign of danger
Penky D'berria
Repetition Repeated external stimulus is more attention getting than
a single once. Motion
It refers that people will pay more attention to moving objects in their field of vision than they will do stationary objects.
Novelty and familiarity Novel or Familiar external situation can serve as an
attention getter. e.g. Job rotation

Perceptual organization
Figure ground Perceived objects stand out as separable from their
general background.

This is the Perception

Perceptual grouping Tendency to group several stimuli together into a
recognizable pattern. Certain formalities in grouping
Closure Continuity Proximity Similarity

Perceptual Constancy It gives a person a sense of stability in a changing world. Permits the individual to have some constancy in a
tremendously variable and highly complex world. The size, shape, color, brightness and location of an
object are fairly constant regardless of the information received by the sense.
It should be pointed out that perceptual constancy results from patterns cues.
If constancy were not at work, the world would be very chaotic and disorganized for the individual.
Penky D'berria
Perceptual Context It gives meaning and value to simple stimuli, objects,
events, situation, and other persons in the environment.
Penky D'berria
Social Perception
Social perception is directly concerned with how one individual perceives others individuals: how we get to know others.
Perceiver's characteristics Needs and Motives Self-conception Past experience Psychological or emotional state Other personality aspects

ATTRIBUTION
Introduction Attribution refers simply to how people explain the
cause of another's or their own behaviour.
It is cognitive process by which people draw conclusion about the factors that influence or make sense of one another's behaviour.
Attribution refers that the person tries to explain why something happened or someone behaved in a particular way.
Penky D'berria
Cont... There are two general types of attributions that
people make:-
1) Dispositional attribution 2) Situational attributions
Penky D'berria
Attribution theory
Attribution theory is concerned with the relationship between personal, social perception and interpersonal behaviour.
Assumption in attribution theories are:-1. We seek to make sense of our world.2. We often attribute people’s actions either to internal
or external causes.3. We do so in fairly logical ways.
Penky D'berria
Cont... Basically the theory suggest that when we observe
an individual's behaviour, we attempt to determine weather it was internally or externally caused.
This determination, however depends on three factors:
1. Distinctiveness2. Consensus3. Consistency
Penky D'berria
Penky D'berria
What is Internal and External Cause
Internally caused behaviour are those that are believed to be under the personal control of individual.
Externally caused behaviour is seen as resulting from outside causes; i.e. The person is seen as having been forced into the behaviour by the situation.
Penky D'berria
Three factors proposed by Harold kelley
1) Distinctiveness cues It refers to the extent to which the same person behaves
in the same fashion in different situations. Distinctive behaviour are those that are relatively unique
to a situation.
Penky D'berria
2) Consensus cues Consensus is the extent to which other people in the
same situation behave in the same fashion as the person under observation.
A person who acts differently from other people or behave differently than expected, when the expectation are based upon expected behaviour of other people, then this is seen as revealing the person's true motives and this motives are considered to be internally generated.
Penky D'berria
3) Consistency cues If a pattern of behaviour is consistently similar, so that
the same person behaves in the same fashion at different time under similar situation, then the cause of such behaviour can be considered as internally generated.
