Activity 5.

Direction: Answer the questions then submit it to your teacher through Google classroom. Please
observe proper presentation of your output. It must be clean and well-prepared. Please see the
attached rubric that serves as your guide in answering the questions.

Questions:

1. What are the main components of attitudes? Are these components related or unrelated?

 Attitude is composed of three components, which include a cognitive component, affective

component, and a behavioral component. Basically, the cognitive component is based on the
information or knowledge, whereas the affective component is based on the feelings. The
behavioral component reflects how attitude affects the way we act or behave. It is helpful in
understanding their complexity and the potential relationship between attitudes and behavior.
In an organization, attitudes are important for their goal or objective to succeed. Each one of
these components is very different from the other, and they can build upon one another to form
our attitudes and, therefore, affect how we relate to the world.

2. Does behavior always follow from attitudes? Why or why not? Discuss the factors that affect
whether behavior follows from attitudes.

 No, because attitudes do not necessarily correspond to behavior. When a person has a choice
about how to act, behavior follows from attitudes. When given the option, a person with a
positive attitude may choose a different task than a person with a negative attitude, but if
compelled to, they may both choose the same activity. Several factors influence whether an
attitude leads to a certain behavior, including family and peer pressures, previous and current
job experiences, and social norms. For the time being, people may despise what they are doing
yet withhold their effort due to a perceived lack of benefits or peer pressure. Cognitive
Dissonance: is any incompatibility between two or more attitudes or between behavior and
attitudes. Individuals seek to reduce this uncomfortable gap, or dissonance, to reach stability
and consistency. Consistency is achieved by changing the attitudes, modifying the behaviors, or
through rationalization. The desire to reduce dissonance depends on; importance of elements,
degree of individual influence, rewards involved in dissonance

3. What are the major job attitudes? In what ways are these attitudes alike? What is unique about
each?

 Job satisfaction, job involvement, and organizational commitment are the three most major job
attitudes. They are all the same in that they either enjoy or despise their jobs. A pleasant
sensation about a job is referred to as work satisfaction. Job involvement evaluates how much
people connect with their occupations and how essential they are to their self-worth.
 Employees with organizational commitment identify with a certain organization and its
objectives, and want to stay with it.

4. How do we measure job satisfaction?

 One is a response to one question, how satisfied are you with your job? Two the summation of
job facets is identifying key elements in job such as nature of work, supervision, present pay,
promotion opportunities and relationships with co-workers. The best explanation is that the
concept of job satisfaction is so broad a single question captures its essence.

5. What causes job satisfaction? For most people, is pay or the work itself more important?

 Job satisfaction depends on several different factors, such as: B. Satisfaction with salary, career
opportunities, fringe benefits, job security, relationship with colleagues and superiors, etc. They
are factors that influence the level of job satisfaction; work environment, fair practices and
guidelines. Job satisfaction isn't just about working conditions. Personality also plays a role.
Research has shown that people with positive core self-evaluations who believe in their intrinsic
value and basic competencies are more satisfied with their work than those with negative core
self-evaluations. Not only do they see their work as more satisfying and challenging, they are
also more prone to demanding jobs. Those with negative core self- evaluation are less likely to
set ambitious goals and are more likely to give up when faced with difficulties. Therefore, they
are more likely to get stuck in boring and repetitive jobs than those with positive core self-
evaluation.

6. What outcomes does job satisfaction influence? What implications does this have for
management?

 Job satisfaction can affect a person's level of commitment to the organization, absenteeism, and
job turnover rate. It can also affect performance levels, employee willingness to participate in
problem-solving activities, and the amount of effort employees put in to perform activities
outside their job description. When people are satisfied with the work they are doing, then their
job feels less like work and is a more enjoyable experience. Those who are satisfied in their jobs
usually do not find it difficult to get up and go to work.
