| Abstract: | A potential problem for individuals in an organization, for the organization, and for researchers of organizational behavior is the lack of recognition of individual differences as an explanation of differences in behavior within the organization. Often research results indicate an aggregate of behavior of all individuals within the organization ignoring how the individual behavior of a single person can have an effect of the performance of that individual and on organizational effectiveness. This paper examines the interrelationship of stimulus screening, the nature of an individual's task and environment setting and its impact on individual per formance and organizational effectiveness. A rationale for the topic, review of literature, and issues pertinent to organizational research and practice are presented. |
