    Individual differences refer to the unique personalities and traits that each person possesses. In an organization, individual differences are important because people must work together in teams to achieve success. How well people cope with problems, their attitudes, social skills, and emotional/mental abilities all contribute to organizational behavior, as an individual is a reflection of the larger group. Nurture, or the learnings and experiences one gains from the environment they are raised in, is believed to be more influential than nature in determining personality, as the environment one grows up in, such as school where socialization first occurs, truly shapes who they become.

    INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES

    1. What are individual differences and why are they important to organizational
    behavior?

    Individual differences are the personalities of one person that is either acquired
    or inherited. In an organization, we work with many people and it requires teamwork
    with anyone. Therefore, not only our intelligence is needed in order to achieve success,
    but also our attitude towards work, how we cope problems, socialization, and every
    matters concerning inside the organization. Being control wise of our emotional, social,
    physical, and mental skills can contribute also with the organizational behavior because
    who we are as an individual is a reflection of the whole organization.

    2. What is more influential in determining personality: Nature or nurture?

    Our personality that came from nature has to do with the genetics of our parents,
    while nurtured personality came from the learnings and exposure from the world. I
    believe, the latter is the most influential in determining personality. Experience is the
    best teacher for anyone, therefore our inherited genes may still be the source of our
    personality, but the environment we belong can truly shape who we are and the
    personalities we have. School, I think is one of the main source of our nurtured
    personalities because that is the first large environment where we grow up with many
    different people; where we first start to socialize and gain friends.
