A female manager of a company has just been promoted as Deputy Director. In the first meeting, the CEO introduced her to new colleagues who were all male and said, “At least we’ll get some decent tea in these meetings from now on, eh?” Almost everyone laughed. For some reasons, she did not contribute much in the meeting and the CEO later asked to HR Director. ‘‘I hope we have not made a mistake. She does not seem to be a team player at all.”

[+ M.Asif]

The cognitive component consists of a person’s beliefs, opinions, knowledge, and
information held by a person.

The affective component of an attitude is the
emotional, or feeling, segment of an attitude.

The behavioral component of an attitude
refers to an intention to behave in a certain
way.

Change of the Person and Acquisition of the new attitudes and values:
When a person works in a company, he or she gradually learns what is expected
and begins to develop a new personality that is consistent with the organisation
depending, the person works for sometime in the same organization.
Socialisation process is not limited to the entry point in an organisation. Rather, it is
a continuous process throughout person's career path.
Socialisation occurs every time employee makes a move in an organisation. As
people move vertically up the organisation's hierarchy, they encounter different
norms, values and attitudes. At the entry stage, employees must assimilate these new
factors if they are to be successful, and the potential is there for an alteration of their
personality.
Economic conditions, competitions and technological advances can cause an
organisation to change its basic orientation: The resulting adaptation will bring new
forces to bear on each organisation member - forces which may alter personalities

I think as she was only female and when CEO introduced her and delivered statement like joke for congenial environment then all the members laughed this thing made her confused and she perceived that she is being made fun by others but infact it was not so.

An the other side as she was only female & it was her 1st meeting so to behave reservely is natural. I think it is too fast to declare about her as she is not team player which is perceived by CEO.

( I think this is the best way to discuss the given situation.. Please guide & help.. It is bit confusional.. Plz join me... )

[+ M.Asif]
