PERSONAL LEARNING PAPER-2ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOURFT183066PRASANTH TI have learnt many topics namely Attitude, Motivation, Inspiration, Herzbergs 2 factor theory, Maslows Hierarchy of Needs, Vrooms expectancy, Porter-Lawler model, Equity theory of work motives, Attribution theory and Nishikama Karma. In this personal learning paper, I intend to focus particularly on how sports is a great motivation and motivator for life. Also I will share my views on the various sports in India and how cricket which has dominated the sporting industry in India has inspired my life and the emergence of other sports. Motivation is something everyone needs in their life. The Maslows theory of motivation clearly shows the levels of motivation. It is best to attain the stage of self actualization. Only then what ever work we do we will be really motivated to do it. When we do a work fully motivated, we end up giving the best for it. Motivation is a process that starts with a physiological or psychological deficiency or need that activates a behaviour or a drive that is aimed at a goal or incentive.Needs are broadly classified into Primary and Secondary. Primary needs of any person includes food, clothes and shelter. I consider myself to be very lucky in a way that I have more than required amount of clothes, food 3 times a day and a beautiful home to go back to. Not many are blessed with these. Secondary needs could consist of need for achievement, need for power, need for affiliation, need for security and the need for status.As a sports enthusiast, I strongly believe that all the Organisational behaviour topics can be related and realised through sports. A good sports person can easily understand and inculcate the organisational behaviour concepts as they practise them in the daily activities. Whether it is an individual or a team sport, the culture of sport definitely has a profound effect on the attitude and behaviour of a person.I have first-hand experience of how sports turn out to be a great motivation and a motivator for people and how it can bring in a change in a person’s life. I play cricket since the age of 14 and I am proud to represent my university. From school to college, I have played with many people from various age groups. With every game, either you win or lose, there comes a spirit of bonding and closeness. We get to know people better and learn from them. Cricket has always been a source of motivation and inspiration for me all my life. Majority of the 1.2 billion souls in the world’s largest democracy consider cricket to be their next religion. I too is no different to this attitude. It has ensconced in my heart and in the hearts of all Indian people as the most cherished and revered sport in the country. The cricket fever is innate in my blood. I was born only 9 years since Kapil Dev lifted the highly valued world cup in 1983, but the moments of victory is still vivid in my eyes. The mere thought of that moment gives me great motivation and helps me to achieve my targets. But as I was a big fan of cricket, like all other Indians I missed to see the importance of other sports and started seeking inspiration from other sports. Infact, sports helped me to broaden my scope of thinking and exposed my to the outside world.Cricket undoubtedly remains the king of all sports in India. It has produced world class players like Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and the list will continue very long. It has the magic of turning hitherto nondescript personality into overnight heroes. It all needs a match winning knock in just one game to jump into the limelight. It has been a turning point in the otherwise bleak future of many individuals in India. It is not just a mere sport it has grown out to be a great entertainment and money spinner.
