  • Get to Know Your Employee

    Secrets of A Successful Company
    • 1st Edition
    • Janek Musek
    • English
    Get to Know Your Employee: Secrets of a Successful Company addresses the critical and often overlooked psychological factors that influence organizational performance and employee relations. Drawing on cutting-edge research in organizational psychology, neuroscience, and developmental science, this reference provides a comprehensive analysis of how early life experiences, repressed fears, and defensive behaviors can undermine workplace efficiency, creativity, and well-being. The book fills a crucial gap by revealing the hidden causes of organizational challenges that traditional management strategies often overlook. The reference is structured to guide readers through a logical progression, beginning with foundational concepts and the unknowns that must be recognized in organizational settings. Subsequent chapters examine the role of early experiences and brain development, the impact of parenting styles, and the mechanisms by which early stress translates into defensive behaviors. The text further explores motivational loops, approach-avoidance behaviors, and the neuroscientific underpinnings of workplace dynamics. Practical solutions are presented for managers and leaders, including methods for reassuring employees, building job satisfaction, and strengthening organizational culture. Appendices, references, and supportive figures enhance the utility of the content. Get to Know Your Employee equips organizational leaders, managers, psychologists, and allied professionals with a scientifically grounded framework for diagnosing and resolving persistent workplace problems. By addressing the psychological roots of organizational dysfunction, the reference empowers readers to foster healthier, more productive, and more innovative work environments. This work is essential for those seeking to align organizational values with behaviors, improve employee satisfaction, and achieve sustainable business success.

    • English
    This book is intended to provide the narratives and analytics of China’s spatial (dis)integration. Indeed, the Chinese nation is far too large and spatially complicated and diversified to be misinterpreted. The only feasible approach to analyzing it is, therefore, to divide it into smaller geographical elements through which one can have a better insight into the spatial mechanisms and regional characteristics.

  • Individual Differences and Personality

    • 2nd Edition
    • Michael C. Ashton
    • English
    How do we come to be who we are? Why do we differ in our personalities? How do these differences matter in life? Individual Differences and Personality aims to describe how and why personality varies among people. Unlike books that focus on individual theorists, this book focuses on current research and theory on the nature of personality and related individual differences. The book begins by discussing how personality is measured, the concept of a personality trait, and the basic dimensions of personality. This leads to a discussion of the origins of personality, with descriptions of its developmental course, its biological causes, its genetic and environmental influences, and its evolutionary function. The concept of a personality disorder is then described, followed by a discussion of the influence of personality on life outcomes in relationships, work, and health. Finally, the book examines the important differences between individuals in the realms of mental abilities, of beliefs and attitudes, and of behavior.
