Introduction
Understanding self and others is consider to be most crucial factor within the organisation success as it help in forming better strategies to align the business operations in right direction. A manager must have a clear understanding regarding the skills and capability that they poses and manner in which these can be used in order to implement them in right direction so that organisational objectives can be achieved. Despite of this a manager must also have a clear understanding regarding the skills and capability of its employees with whom they are working so that plans and strategies can be formulated in order to direct them toward enhancement of performance and accomplishment of organisational goals and objectives (Carnegie, 2017). In order to develop clear understanding psychological factors must be consider which support in determining the perception as well as action performed by an employee. Psychology is basically refer to the scientific study about how an individual think, behave and feel. By performing psychological evaluation it become easier to determine the culture that workers maintain at workplace and also support in determining the major cause behind happening of particular event. The psychological evaluation at workplace can be determined by making use of several approaches such as cognitive approach, behavioural approach and humanistic approach. Among them behavioural approach is one which suggest that the behaviour, working practices or performance of an employee get influenced by the stimuli that are present in the external environment as it have a direct influence over the behaviour of an employees as well as actions taken by them (Autesserre, 2014). Hence, by evaluating the performance of employees in different circumstance it become easier to determine the the skills and capability of employees and manner in which they can tackle the situation.
Despite of this, cognitive approach state that the behaviour of a person is being developed by the expectations as well as emotions that they hold in their mind toward the occurrence of particular event. Hence the employees behaviour can be measures by motivating them about the positive outcome of particular action that support in developing their focuses toward that action in order to achieve something. This will support in determining the factors that have the capability to influence the activities of an employees at workplace so that it can be used as a motivation factors in order to improve their performance so that accomplishment of organisational goals made possible with the accomplishment of their personal goals. Apart from this the humanistic approach is one which state that an individual become able to perform something when they feel good about themselves which support them in determining their actual potentials. This approach mainly focuses over empowering an individual by making them feel good so that they remain motivated (Mischel, DeSmet and Kross, 2014). In order to take out best from the employees manager required to focus over the environment in which employees work and try to keep them motivated by regularly appreciating them over their efforts so that they become able to determine potential to perform particular operation in effective manner.
