OBSERVATIONAL LEARNING AND MODELING THEORY

Аннотация

The thesis “Observational learning and modeling theory” based on specific company case study
analyzes a theory through which persons can affect or influence behavior of other colleagues or mates. In this thesis,
because it is work environment, the main focus is on work environment and workplace suggestibility and impact.
The core method used is are two questionnaires distributed first among employees and second to the managers.
The employee questionnaire confirmed all possibilities of influencing workers that are in line with the theory.
Ordinary employees stated in the questionnaire that authentic experience, indirect experience, social persuasion,
emotional states and environment influencing - positively influence their self-confidence in the performance of work
tasks.
Managers slightly neglected the influence of indirect experience, but their subordinates responded positively to
the successful solution of the colleague's task. So there is room for improvement by managers. They could make
greater use of cooperation between more experienced and less advanced colleagues. Managers and ordinary
employees consider the authentic experience and social persuasion to be the most effective.
As the questionnaire survey was conducted only between technical and economic employees and their
managers, the results of the questionnaire survey as well as suggestions and recommendations cannot be applied to
the whole organization. All these results and suggestions, therefore, concern only technical-economic employees and
their superiors.
