Features: The purpose of writing this book is to use simple and concise language, along with practical examples, to outline the individual psychological processes behind organizations. It aims to help readers not only appreciate the importance of psychological knowledge for individuals but also spark their interest in psychology. Based on this, the book includes various "columns" designed to promote organizational development and personal growth. It also systematically studies the relationship between self-management and organizations for the first time, providing pathways for self-growth. These new focuses and topics are entirely based on the psychologist's new insights into psychological adaptation, the new trends in society, and people's more diverse ways of adapting to new environments. This book is not a manual for teaching self-motivation, as the application of psychological knowledge in management has not yet reached a stage where it can teach people step-by-step instructions. Although the book focuses on some problems or situations frequently encountered in the workplace and proposes relevant solutions, these are merely our preliminary views, and readers need to practice extensively to achieve certain effects. The arrangement of this book presents some important psychological concepts and techniques, which are all related to workers achieving good work performance and fulfilling their personal needs. Simply put, these basic psychological concepts include perception, personality, and motivation. Similarly, the book introduces classical motivation theories, and the new research findings derived from these classical theories account for two-thirds of the book's content. It is also the first to include human capital in the research scope of motivational psychology.
