How important is our
Self-Concept?
• Our self-concept is important because it influences
how we think, feel, and act in everyday
organizational life.
• Understanding the self-concept is particularly
important for managers because self-knowledge
helps managers understand why they do the things
they do and how their beliefs and behaviors affect
themselves, others, and the organization—for
better and worse.
• The self-concept is, of course, only one of many
factors that affect managerial thinking, feeling,
and behavior, but it is undoubtedly one of the
most powerful influences on many important
behaviors.
