INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN THE
WORKPLACE
Assignment Overview
Managers often notice the relationship between attitudes and job
performance. You may have heard someone say, “With that great
attitude, this employee will set new sales records!” or “With that
poor attitude, quality work will never result!” However, managers
seldom realize that they can affect an employee’s work attitudes
(such as job satisfaction and commitment), which in turn can affect
job outcomes such as turnover, absenteeism, and productivity.
Case Assignment
In this first Case Assignment, you are asked to view a video that
examines attitudes, behaviors, and their impacts on the workplace.
In this first case you will be writing about one of the following
scenarios:
Kelly and the Personal Space Invader (Sam)
Sophia and the Empty Pit (Molly), or
Ray and the Chip on the Shoulder (Victor)

chosen for this assignment) should take to improve their own job
satisfaction going forward.
