    PSY204

    Quiz #1

    Name: Attar Singh Student No: 2312869

    Multiple Choice:
    Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question.

    1. Is your behavior in organizations dependent on your personality? Briefly explain.


    Yes, to some extent, behavior in organizations can be influenced by personality traits. For
    example, an extroverted person might be more inclined to take on leadership roles.

    2. When hiring, companies are interested in assessing at least two types of fit:
    a. Job fit
    b. Organizational fit

    3. Define the following terms:

    Personality: Personality encompasses the relatively stable feelings, thoughts, and behavioral
    patterns a person has
    Positive and Negative Affectivity:
    When people are in a good mood, they may be more cooperative, smile more, and act
    friendly. When these same people are in a bad mood, they may have a tendency to be picky,
    irritable, and less tolerant of different opinions.

    Self-enhancement Bias: person tends to perceive themselves in a more positive


    light than others.

    External Attribution: External attribution is when people think something happened


    because of things outside of them, not because of what they did.

    4. What statement is False about personality?


    All the above

    5. Fill in the blank:


    Despite all their potential, under some circumstances a proactive personality may
    be a liability for an individual or an organization. Imagine a person who is proactive
    but is perceived as being too pushy, trying to change things other people are not
    willing to let go, or using their initiative to make decisions that do not serve a
    company’s best interests. Research shows that the success of proactive people
    depends on their understanding of a company’s core values, their ability and skills to
    perform their jobs, and their ability to access situational demands correctly.

    6. What statement is True about values?


    b. Values are established throughout one’s life as a result of the accumulating life
    experiences and tend to be relatively stable.
    True/False
    7. According to the interactionist perspective, behavior is a function of the person and
    the situation interacting with each other.
    a. True

    8. To effectively manage organizational behavior, an understanding of different


    employees’ personalities is not needed.

    b. False

    9. People with high self-efficacy view themselves in a positive light, are confident, and
    respect themselves.
    a. True

    10. Negative affective people focus on the “glass half empty” but experience less
    anxiety and nervousness at work.

    b. False
