The importance of attitude in the workplace

Attitude deals with the perceptions and believes of behavior. Good attitude always pushes employees to contribute significantly toward the organization. To construct a positive and strong attitude, a restaurant has to successfully develop a good beliefs and values system in the working environment. Attitude has an immense impact on an organization. The proper attitude is fundamentally important to implement the activities of my restaurant. Following holds the positive reasons which bring significant contribution toward the restaurant

The employee becomes much more flexible: As the organizational body determines how should be the behavior of the employees, be it with the consumers or within the coworkers, the organization looks after the security issues of the employees to control the discrimination irrespective to any races. As a result, employees don’t feel unsecured by the presence of people. Especially foreign employees become much more flexible.

The Negative impacts of attitudes in The Restaurant: like the advantages of having positive attitudes, there are some disadvantages of having values in ‘MS the Alina Hotel. A 9 years’ experience as a manager, I found following the negative impacts of attitudes in the restaurant.

1. Pressure to keep up with the flow of Restaurant: Employees have to work according to the predetermined guidelines and policies of the restaurant. There is no way to avoid the rules. Sometimes it becomes difficult to cope up with the pace of the Restaurant. At that time, there is a chance to lose the job if the employee becomes continuously unable to meet the objective.

3. Depression appears among employee: Due to some strict rules and regulation of my restaurant, employees feel. autocratic views in some cases make employees depressed. Day by day, it makes employees dissatisfied and to some extent, it bounds employee to leave the job.

The importance of beliefs in the workplace

Every organization involved in constructing thousands of important decisions per month. The decisions which organization take are a reflection of their beliefs as well as values. and due to the absolute beliefs, all organization are always directed towards a specific goal. Belief refers to faith or the mental acceptance of something. Even sometimes without proof, an entity believes unseen. Belief is important because sometimes crucial steps are taken on the basis of what the belief is!

The advantage of beliefs in my organization

1. Beliefs explain the right or wrong thing in a restaurant: Beliefs clearly explain what is right or what is wrong from the “MS the Alina Hotel” in details. As a result, all stakeholder become aware of maintaining the instruction given by the restaurant.

Example: As a manager, I ask not to smoke or drink wine in front of customers. Because my belief is that, open smoking or drinking wine in front of customer make a bad image for the restaurant. As a result, all existing employee will obey the rule and we can hold our brand value for a long time.

2. Gets the ball rolling: I visualize in my organization that the belief of being determined to achieve the nearly impossible goal not caring about how difficult the scenario can be always keeping the employees and the workers to stay positive and get ready to approach.
3. Beliefs are considered as a source of motivation: As a manager in a hotel, I saw in my restaurant that daring to approach from the belief of achieving something always expands the wisdom which afterward becomes a strength. The fact is, when we see a positive vision or mission explained in our belief, we become inspired to move forward.
4. Make a positive attitude: The long practice of positive belief, bring to grow a positive attitude in the restaurant. When employees of my organization believe nothing is impossible to attain, after a certain period of time later, employees don’t divert from tract due to tons of pressure from the working

Management Theories

Management Theories are developed with a view to boosting activities of a particular entity. Management theory in a word is a reflection of guideline based on the experience of the scholar. Management theories can be defined as specific ideas which are consist of frameworks and guidelines which could be used in modern organizations to imply the ideas and complete the activities properly. Most popular management theories so far used by the big giant organization are contingency management theory, scientific management theory, system management theory, bureaucratic management theory, etc. But usually, the application of theories is not followed as accurately as the concept of theory. Despite acknowledging the importance of these theories, entrepreneurs and owners try to develop a theory by combining developed theory and practical field knowledge of the business.

Being the manager of the “MS the Alina Restaurant” I can relate the application of three management theories in my restaurant.

1. Douglas McGregor X and Y theory
2. Behavioral Theory of Management
3. Own developed theory by Restaurant

Theory X and Y: theory X and Y is developed by the Douglas McGregor. It is sometimes called the two-factor theory. Theory X and Y reflect both the positive factor and negative factor for the work environment. When the manager of a particular organization thinks that their employees want to avoid activities, the employer doesn't like works employee don't feel to work enthusiastically, on this condition the manager of that particular company has to be authoritarian. authoritarian means that manager is strictly managing his existing employees. Even there is a chance of rising of fire from the job if an employer doesn't cover the rule of the manager.

On the other hand, when the employees of the organization are very much interested in working. even the existing employee feel sad if there is a lack of work, or employees don't show any causes to avoid work, on that condition, the manager becomes very much friendly with his employees. The manager uses different types of bonus to inspire employees.

the application of theory According to X and Y theory, I being the manager of MS the Alina restaurant, would like to follow to apply theory X and Y based on the condition of employees.

When I see that the existing employees of the restaurant don't want to finish their activities smoothly, want to avoid working environment by showing cause and effect awesome how employees feel sad when they see the pressure of working time. On that condition, I become straight forward as a manager to get the activity done. Employees who don't want to work properly are given punishment. Sometimes, I have to take extreme punishment for the employees that is to fire the employee from the restaurant.

The normal punishment that I would like to apply on the employees who don't work properly are given below

• No incentive: this is the lower punishment towards the employee. If employees are categorized under X Factor, they are not given incentive at the end of the month.
• Extra duty: an employee who avoid their assigning activities are given punishment to do extra duty in the restaurant. The prime objective of keeping extra duty for themselves is to get things done.
• No bonus: they are not given any bonus until they leave X-Factor of x and y theory.

Being the manager of the restaurant, I believe the above factor influence heavily on themselves to change their behavior from negative to positive. After some certain period of time, the employee who will change their behavior is welcome under the factor of Y theory. But who never changes their behavior are given punishment as permanent fire from a job?

But when I see that employee would like to do the job. Don't need any motivation to work, they want to develop there working quality, at that time I use the following factor to treat them self.

• Motivation: though they don't need any motivation to work, still I give themselves a bonus, incentive, et cetera to motivate themselves.
• Be friendly with themselves: I try to react with these employees in a friendly
• Promotion: I consider such employee who likes work as most efficient member for the organization. And I provide promotion to these types of employee.

Behavioral Theory Of Management Another management Theory that my organization tries to follow is the behavioral theory of Management.

The behavioral management deals with the movement of human relationship. Because the behavioral management theory identifies the different dimension of human work in an organization. The core concept of behavioral theory of management is that understanding of employee regarding their strength, conflicts, expectations pay off a better solution to increase the performance of the organization.

Application of behavioral theory in my restaurant: Behavioral Management Theory help the restaurant from a lot of perspectives.

• When I see any conflict among employee or there is an inner dissatisfaction of employee, I take advantage of behavioral management. Using the activity, the activity of behavioral management theory, I, first of all, understand the scenario of employees. I try to know their inner expression towards their job environment. Based on my experience on themselves, I can easily any conflicting matter of employees.
• Another advantage of this theory in my restaurant is that it creates a good bonding between the organization and employee. Because my restaurant, first of all, judges its existing employee properly. And based on the judgment of the employee, my restaurant comes up with different treatment for the different behavior of employees. Which makes a better understanding between restaurant and employee.
• Behavioral Management Theory also contributed to my restaurant by letting us inform who is the better employee to maintain a relationship with the customer positively? When my restaurant applies behavioral management theory, then we all who stay at the top level and mid-level position can see the ranking of the behavior of a particular employee. From the result, we use the top-ranking holder employee at the right place for maintaining customer relationship. On the other hand, those employees who have is not holding up to the marking behavior in ranking scale, become subject to happy treatment to develop their behavior. By this way, we can rectify our employee’s behavior. Which at the end of the day, make sure our existing employee of the restaurant is highly qualified to maintain all the activities for handling the customer. And personally, being a manager, I strongly believe the application of behavioral management theory reach the performance of the organization at a very high position. When the customer gets amazing behavior from our employee, day by day, they become much loyal to us. Thus, the most benefit of having a behavioral theory of management in a restaurant is to create a large customer base.

• Behavioral Management Theory also helps us when we need to avail of the training facilities for a particular group of employees. When we see that a portion of employee need to develop their behavior, at the same time we come up with the training facilities to solve the problem.

Own developed theory by Restaurant: Apart from the above Management Theory, my restaurant also prefers to use the combination of different Management Theory in a working place. Sometimes organization usages the combination of bureaucratic Management Theory and the contingency Management Theory to get things done from its employee.
