INTRODUCTION Individual behavior is the way in which one person acts apart from another person or group.

Individual behavior can be different than anyone else and is personalize by that person. The major factors that influence individual differences in behavioural patterns are demographic factors, abilities and skills, perception, attitudes and personality. The demographic factors are socio economic background, education, nationality, race, age, sex, etc. Organisations prefer persons that belong to good socioeconomic background, well educated, young etc as they are believed to be performing better than the others. The young and dynamic professionals that have good academic background and effective communication skills are always in great demand. The study of demographic factors is significant as it helps managers to pick the suitable candidate for a particular job. The physical capacity of an individual to do something can be termed as ability. Skill can be defined as the ability to act in a way that allows a person to perform well. The individual behaviour and performance is highly influenced by ability and skills. A person can perform well in the organisation if his abilities and skills are matched with the job requirement. The managers plays vital role in matching the abilities and skills of the employees with the particular job requirement. The cognitive process meant for interpreting the environmental stimuli in a meaningful way is referred to as perception. Every individual on the basis of his/he reference can organize and interpret environmental stimuli. There are many factors that influence the perception of an individual. The study of perception plays important role for the managers. It is important for mangers to create the favorable work environment so that employees perceive them in most favorable way. The employees are likely to perform better if they are going to perceive it in a positive way.

According to psychologists, attitude can be defined as a tendency to respond favourably or unfavourably to certain objects, persons or situations. The factors such as family, society, culture, peers and organisational factors influence the formation of attitude. The managers in an organisation need to study the variables related to job as to create the work environment in a favorable way that employees are tempted to form a positive attitude towards their respective jobs. The employees can perform better in the organisation if they form a positive attitude. Personality can be defined as the study of the characteristics and distinctive traits of an individual, the inter-relations between them and the way in which a person responds and adjusts to other people and situations. The several factors that influence the personality of an individual are heredity, family, society, culture and situation. It implies to the fact that individuals differ in their manner while responding to the organizational environment. Personality can be regarded as the most complex aspect of human beings that influences their behaviour in big way. It can be concluded that the study of personality traits offers an opportunity to understand the individuals. It helps them properly in directing their effort and motivating them for the accomplishment of the organisational goal. It refers to the fact that different environmental factors may generate different responses. The study of these responses is very important for the organisation. Every organisation demands a particular type of behaviour from their employees and such behaviours can be discovered through observation, learning, exposure, training, etc. Interpersonal cooperative behavior---all organizations strive to promote mutually gratifying and co-operative behavior. Conditions necessary for co-operative interpersonal behavior and any organizational setting are mutual respect and trust. Concern for each others need and interaction with complementary ego states which are necessary at all levels of designation in an organization.

Interpersonal conflicting behavior----- out of interpersonal interaction it is not necessary that only co-operative behavior will result because of several reasons like personality differences, different value systems, interest conflict, role ambiguity etc, and interpersonal conflict may arise in the organization. This type of behavior may not be functional in the organization.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY


To gain a close understanding of the impact of individual behavior on organizational performance. To develop excellent communication skills through interaction with top level managers. To study the factors affecting individual behavior of the employees depends upon their perception. To study the factors affecting individual behavior differs from time to time, place to place and situation to situation and person to person.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be understood as a science how research is done scientifically. Research methodology refers to the tools and the methods used for obtaining information for the purpose of the research study. Research not only need to know how to develop certain indices or tests, how to calculate the mean, the mode, median, how to apply particular research techniques but also need to know which of these methods or techniques are relevant and which are not and what would they mean and indicate and why. All this means that it is necessary for the researcher to design his methodology for his problem as the same way differ from problem to problem.

RESEARCH DESIGN
Research design is the framework which determines the course of action towards the collection and analysis of required data. As the research type is descriptive, so we will be using Descriptive Research Design to do our Research work. The methodology of study will be through interviews, observation and library research.

TYPE OF RESEARCH
Descriptive research:-it includes surveys and facts ,findings enquires of different kinds. The major purpose of did is description of the state of affair as it exists at person . Exploratory research:- the main purpose of erd is that of formulating a problem for more precise investigation. Study involves filling of questionnaires, structured interviews, and personal observations i.e. it involves surveys and facts, finding enquires of different kinds.

DATA COLLECTION
The task of data collection begins after a research problem has been defined and research design /plan chalked out there are several types of sources of data collection:

SOURCES OF DATA COLLECTION Primary source: - the data which is collected first time. Secondary source: - doing updation of the data which is already collected.
QUESTIONNAIRE:- The Main Purpose of the Survey (Questionnaire) is to collect data about Interpersonal Behaviour established factors ,Price ,Trust , Convenience. SAMPLING PROCEDURE: There is a NON PROBABILITY SAMPLING .It is that Sampling Procedure Which does not afford any basis for estimating the Probability that each Item in the Population has of being included in the Sample. Further in Non Probability Sampling used is convenience sampling & random sampling and The Significance of The

THEORETICAL REVIEW
What are interpersonal skills?

A set of behaviors which allow you to communicate effectively and unambiguously in a face-to- face setting. They can also be thought of as behaviors which assist progress towards achieving an objective

Developing interpersonal skills is therefore designed to help you to get all ingredients to work together effectively. Face-to-face situations provide the context (formal or informal), objectives spell out the desirable ends, and behaviors are the means to achieve them. In situations which are not face-to-face, such as a phone call or letter, what you say or write represents your behaviour.

FUNDAMENTALS
There are just six interpersonal skills which form a process that is applicable to all situations:

Analyzing the situation Establishing a realistic objective Selecting appropriate ways of behaving Controlling your behaviour Shaping other people's behaviour Monitoring our own and others' behaviour

These individual skills need to be applied appropriately. For example, if you:

Are discussing how to solve a problem with a person who has more experience than you, then listening is important Know much more about what needs to be done to solve a problem than another person, then communicating clearly and testing the other person's understanding are higher priorities.

APPLICABILITY OF INTERPERSONAL SKILLS


The interpersonal skills process described above is applicable to all peoplesituations anywhere, in the following ways:

Analyzing the situation helps us to set realistic objectives Establishing objectives, in turn, provides the context in which to make choices about how best to behave By being conscious of our own behaviour in working towards the achievement of objectives we are more likely to influence other peoples behaviour Constant monitoring will provide the feedback we need to make situationdependent adjustments.

BENEFITS OF IMPROVING INTERPERSONAL SKILLS


However, some of the advantages of improved interpersonal skills are that you will be better at:

Quickly assessing and understanding face-to-face situations Setting specific and realistic objectives for face-to-face encounters with people - you will benefit from being clear in what you are aiming at Choosing and using behaviors that complement the circumstances and are appropriate to the objective - thus benefiting by having an easier, and pleasant, means to achieving your objective

Being aware of other peoples behaviour and influencing it - influencing others by your own behaviour.

HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING JOB ANALYSIS RECRUITMENT SELECTION PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL INTERPERSONAL BEHAVIOUR EMPLOYMENT TRANSITIONS LABOUR RELATIONS

Human behavior is the most difficult to define in absolute terms .it is a complex phenomenon .it is primarily a combination of responses to external and internal stimuli these responses reflect psychology structure of a person. Psychologist khan art Levin believes that people are influenced by a number of diversified factors and the influence of these factors determines the patterns of behaviour in-fact organization composed of individuals. no organization can exist without individuals hence, organizational performance is largely affected by individuals behave at work .mangers hand to understand individual /human behavior at work so as to extract the best and maximum contribution from them learning motivation ,and the leadership are the theories that have been developed to explain the behavior of individuals also socio psychological theories have tried to explain how attitudes ,beliefs, preconception ,values inculcated and influence individual behavior

Therefore to understand the human behavior in organization in a better way, a careful study of all the factors which affects human behavior is must the efforts and the contribution of an individual depends upon his behavior .the factors which affects the human behavior are person, environment and organization itself. In other words, we can say that individual behavior is a function of person, environment and hide organization

CAUSES OF INTERPERSONAL BEHAVIOR


Causes of human behavior:
In order to understand the causation of human behavior it is essential behavior it is essential to know first what the term behavior actually means. Different behavioral scientists have defined behavior differently. Some observations are as follows; Behavior simply means as a response to certain stimuli which is observable directly and indirectly Behavior is observed directly by studying the responses of people to their work environment indirect observation refers to horo people describe decision making processes and attitude verbally. This is seen that human behavior is caused by certain reasons behavior is the result of interaction between individual characteristics and the characteristics of the environment in which behavior occurs. Personal characteristics remain inside the person whereas environmental once outside the person. These personal and environmental characteristics secure as foundation of individual behavior.

The causes of human behavior can be classified into categories INHERITED CHARACTERISTICS: Some of the characteristics inherited from birth, may or Amy not be changed by external environment 1.

FACTORS AFFECTING INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOR


ENVIROMENTAL FACTORS
It includes such variables as ECONOMIC FACTORS- the economic environment is an important determinant of individual behavior .all work is performed with in economic framework .the concept of economic environment is a synthesis of several factors like employment level, wage rate, economic outlook and technological change rate.People work for money but not only for money. However wages satisfied various needs of individuals. POLITICAL FACTORS- the stability of government can affect the employment opportunities both in quantity and quality. Management structures and philosophies in controlled societies have a significant impact on decision, strategies and methods of implementation available to managers. The relative freedom available can affect carrier choice, job design, motivation methods and finally individual behavior.

SOCIO-CULTURAL FACTORS: people grow up in a particular society that shape their basic values, beliefs and behavior. Cultural vary from country to country and these variation produce different behavior across the country LEGAL ENVIRONMENT: rules and laws are formalized ad written standards of behavior both rules and laws is strictly enforced by the legal system .laws relate to all members of society observing laws voluntarily allow predictability of individual behavior. ORGANIZATIONAL FACTORS: the characteristics of an organization are also affects human behavior. PHYSICAL FACILITIES: The physical facilities such as ventilation ,proper lighting , painting on wall, proper space for employee and like that put impact on employee behavior and performance..Hence physical environment at work place may be said to be the arrangement of people and thinks in such a manner.

INDIVIDUALS DIFFERENCES AT WORKPLACE

INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCE: it is seen that an individual differs from each other owing to their varying Characteristics that foam an individuals individuality. All is different .this is a fact supported by science. Each one is different from others just as each of their finger prints to different as far as we commonly known. Co is able to explain usual observations leads all of us to the conclusion that two people in the same job cannot behave in exactly the same way. People perform their jobs in different ways 1) Promptness in completing tasks 2) Conscientiousness in doing exactly quality work. 3) If manager wants to employee he has to recognize the overwhelming influences that individuals differences play.

INDIVIDUALS DIFFERENCES AT WORKPLACE


1) REWARDS-Depending upon different psychological make-ups, people differ in attaching importance to awards. 2) TYPE OF COMPENSATION PLAN- People also differs in the type of compensation plan they want. Some may refer to have compensation under the time wage system, while others may like to prefer piece wage system. 3) STYLE OF LEADERSHIP- People may differ in the style of leadership they want to work under.

INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES AND ORGANIZATION BEHAVIOR


In organizational behavior, too much emphasis is placed on studying individual differences .it is not that values, attitudes, personalities and similar personal characteristics are irrelevant to under standing organizational behavior rather organizations come. With a host of formal and informal control mechanism that in effect largely shapes .direct and constraint members behavior that is structure tends to over-ride interpersonal differences. Almost organizations have policies, procedures rules and other formal documentation that limit and shape the behavior. This formal documentation sets standards of acceptable and unacceptable behavior. Almost all organizations differentiate roles horizontally, creating unique jobs and departments. The structure of these jobs allows others to predict behavior in those roles. Organizations also differentiate roles vertically by creating levels of management So, they create boss employee relationship that constrains employee behavior. When you join an organization, you are expected to adapt its norms of acceptable behavior. The norms are unwritten rules but, they are powerful and controlling.

An organization may not have a formal dress code but employees are expected to dress appropriately-which mean adapting to the implied dress norms.

Models of a man based on individual differences


Study of human behavior in both regarding and necessary for management. It is doubtful whether the management can perform its function successfully without having understanding why people behave as they do. It based on individual differences; individual differences are classified in to certain models or type. 1) RATIONAL ECONOMIC MAN:-This is based on the doctrine of maximizing oneself interest. This assumptions are : Man is able to calculate the cost of his efforts and value of inducement he receives from his efforts. Man is able to evaluate the alterations available. Man is motivated by economic interest. The organization controls the economic activities. Organization can be designed to control rational feelings and avoid unpredictable behavior. The different types of assumptions a manager makes about people with greatly determine the actions he takes in motivating and controlling people. In simple rational economic model people can be induced to produce more by providing economic incentives. This works very simply, that is people are engage by the organization for the productive purpose.

It will continue to give them incentives till it receiving matching contribution From them. The economic incentives can work till man is not reasonably satisfied by a need of money. Though money is such a factor that its need can never be satisfied because it may purchase many things through which people may satisfy their other needs Within organizational context. The role of money is to maintain the people n the organization and beyond that is not able to provide incentives to people. 2) SOCIAL MAN:-It is based on the doctrine that man being part of the society, is influenced by a social forces and seeks satisfaction from social relationships. Man is motivated by its social needs. Man is more responsive to group pressure. He will obey managements order as long as these are in conformity with his social needs. Management should organize work in such a way that it provides not belongingness. Social man concept is the invention of researchers which behavioral scientist has carried out from time to time begom hawthorn experiments.

3) ORGANIZATION MAN: - William white who gave this concept believes that value of loyalty to the organization and co-corporation with fellow workers is important for man. The social ethics are guides of organization. The group is a source of creativity.

Belongingness is the ultimate need of individual. Generally organization means emphasis that there is no conflict between organization and interpersonal. Even if there is any, it can be overcome by sacrificing the individual interest in favor of organizational interest. Its implications is that management will design its various actions high will satisfy the people. People will not see their interest differently as the organization is to take care of their interest. 4) SELF ACTUALIZING MAN: - It suggests difference in the way man can overcome limitations to work .the managers normally take following. The various needs can be put in hierarchical. Man moves from immaturity to maturity. Man is self motivated and self motivated managers try to create normal

achievement of people to release greater potential for commitment to organizational goals This model is based on the assumptions that is man is self motivated and controlled. Man works. To satisfy is needs, in a hierarchical orders arranged by Abraham Maslow physiological needs, safety and security needs social needs, esteem and status needs and self actualizing needs.

ABILITIES:It is an individual capacity to perform the various tasks. In a job, Ability is the criteria used to determine what a person can do ability directly influences an

employee level of performance and satisfaction. In order to get compatible ability, the management can do the following: The management must follow effective selection process.

improve and provide a compatible individual. the abilities that individuals need to perform the job adequately. can then be tested ,interviewed and evaluated on the degree to which they possesses the necessary abilities. Promotion and transfer decisions should reflect the abilities of individuals in Management must be cheerful in accessing critical abilities that will be In order to improve abilities, modifications can be made in the job. However, Finally man agent has an alternative in the regard. A final alternative is to the organizations. needed in the job. three should b no significant impact on jobs basic activities. provide training to employees. This is applicable to both ne workers and present workers. Training can keep the abilities of workers current or provide new skills as times and conditions charge.

PESTE ANALYSIS
POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT

The stability of government can affect the employment opportunities; both in quantity and quality .politically unstable environment have difficulty and attracting experience problems in maintaining steady level of employment. The political ideology of a country affects interpersonal behavior primary through relative freedoms available to its citizens. Management structures and philosophies in controlled societies have a significant impact on decisions, strategies, strategies and methods of implementation available to managers .the relative freedoms can affect career choice, job design motivation methods and finally interpersonal behavior.

SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT People grow up in a particular society that shape their basic beliefs, values and behaviors. Culture varies from country to country and these variation produce different behaviors across the country .culture vary between two regions with in a

country too and these variations produce different behaviors across the country. Work ethics, achievement needs, effort reward expectations and values are important factors having behavioral implications as suggested by Stephenss p.robbins.it always desirable for organization effectiveness that direct there must be direct relationship between effort and reward. TECHNOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT It is seen that technological change is included as an economic factor because of potential effects on individual job opportunities Technological change has its strongest effect at lower level jobs although increased automation, computersation and more sophisticated production technologies can affect individuals at all levels. LEGAL ENVIRONMENT Rules and laws are formalized and written standards of behavior. Both rules and laws are strictly enforced by the legal system .laws relate to all members of society. Observing laws voluntary allows for predictability of individual behavior

FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

Most of the workers have a friendly relationship with their superior as well as their colleagues; this in turn depicts the open communication available in organization. Most of the workers are often guided by their supervisors in their sphere of work and agree that they understand their work pressures and problems and try to solve them if it is within their reach. Most of the workers feel that unbalanced interpersonal relations affect the efficiency level of employees mainly due to stress which is mainly caused because of individual and organisational related factors. The negative behaviour of workers is mainly due to psychological and behavioual problems although they get full co-operation and unbiased attention from their superior in their work place. Group cohesiveness prevails among different groups in org. mainly due to competition. No superior is afraid to express any kind of views about the worker to him. To some extent, the management is concerned about maintaining good relations with trade unions.

LIMITATIONS

I had put my best effort in gathering the data and i have tried my level best that the data provided and the survey done are authentic as they could be, but there are some limitations, which are mentioned below : The study period is limited, the researcher has to collect the necessary and important information within the limited period of time and it is not possible to collect it, due to lack to time. Some consumers give half-hearted response or false information, which may lead to wrong conclusion. It is not possible to carry out the detailed survey due to limited finance. The crew members were hesitates to speak freely as they feared the informations to leak in the head office.

CONCLUSION

After working on this project its my immense pleasure to say its been most beneficial to me as it given me lot of knowledge about the hr department, which includes how an hr department works and how to interact with people. I found that in lumax dk auto industries ltd. There is an open communication and most of the employees in the company are satisfied but still there are some employees who are not satisfied with their superiors and these employees are mostly working in godowns. I also found that the company is of the view that interpersonal behaviour is not only helpful in making peace but also in the career planning. The company is also of the view that interpersonal behaviour plays an important role in the positive relations between the superior and the subordinate.

RECOMMENDATIONS

On the basis of my findings and conclusion my suggestions to the company are: To know why 20% employees are not satisfied with their superiors and try to solve their problems. Equal opportunities are given to all to express their feelings in the meetings. To realize the employees who are working at godowns that they also have Freedom to take initiative in regard to change in procedure. Give more importance to the hr department as it plays a key role in an Organisation. Mostly recruitments are internally, but there should be external recruitments so that company get more benefitted.
