Lots of have been discussed on the attitude. People give examples of different attitude and tag others either with positive attitude or negative attitude. However have we realized how attitude is formed in the person? As a HR professional, I always first think about the attitude and assess the person based on the same. I may go wrong if I really don’t understand how the person is discussion formulates his attitude. We must have seen many examples where the person is fired for his attitude, however he is much successful in another organization. We may be wrong in assessing the person if we don’t understand what attitude really means and how it is formulated in the personality of the person.



Attitude refers to our tendency to compare ourselves with others. We use this, in order to determine whether our view of social reality is correct or not. We often change our attitudes, so as to hold our views closer to that of others. This process helps us to form new attitudes. Attitude are formed based on the experiences. Take an example of the person who is always worked with the boss who is democratic and open. The person will try to follow him. During this process, some aspect which is being influenced on his personality may be viewed differently by another person who is totally tyrannical.
