PERSONAL OBJECTIVES WITH ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS

WHAT IS PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT?

PERSONALITY
Many factors make a person unique in his or her own way. One of this is
personality. We can define personality as the distinctive and characteristic
pattern of thought, emotion, and behavior that define an individual’s personal
style of interacting with the physical and social environment.
Personality plays an important part in the identification and choice of specific career. The first step to
career choice and planning understands oneself. According to Holland (1985), a person may
possess the following personality types:

Realistic – technician/engineer

Investigate – scientist/chemist

Artistic – musician/sculptor

Social – teacher/social worker

Enterprising – salesperson/lawyer

Conventional – accountant/banker

Realistic and Investigative types lack interpersonal skills and have difficulty with emotional
expression of feelings. The artistic and social types are emotional in the expression of feelings and
may dislike highly ordered and repetitive activities.

The personality type one has is linked to specific work environments.

ASPECTS OF AN INDIVIDUAL’S PERSONALITY

1. MENTAL ASPECT – refers to his intellectual capacity.

2. EMOTIONAL ASPECT – a person’ emotional make up is shown in his likes and dislikes.
3. SOCIAL ASPECT – how well a person conducts himself with other people and how well he
observes the rules of etiquette that govern society.
4. PHYSICAL ASPECT – heredity and environment determine the entire physiological system
of an individual. Posture, body build and size, compression and facial expressions, as well as
the appropriateness and condition of clothes, comprise the physical appearance of a person. It
has a lot to do with personality.
5. MORAL ASPECT – this aspect personality has to do with a person’s awareness of the
differences between what is wrong or right.
6. SPIRITUAL ASPECT – is the consciousness of the higher values in life.

DEVELOPMENT – a continuous change for improvement in all aspects of the person: motor, social,
emotional, intellectual, and moral.

INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP – (outer self) Personal and social relationship of a person with
others which develops systems of shared expectations.

INTRAPERSONAL DYNAMICS – (inner self) dealing with one’s inner self, like emotions

VISION – Philosophy of life.

PLANNING ONE’S CAREER

The exploration of one’s interest and aptitudes lead one to formulate career and educational
decisions. It is important for one to focus on personal and social development.

“Know Thyself” – it means giving more than what is observed or what is public knowledge as one’s
name. It means really knowing oneself in terms of one’s strengths and limitations. One’s sense of
identity is usually defined by individual traits and goals, by personal; achievement and fulfillment, by
social responsibilities and relationships.

A. Strengths

These are qualities, which we consider valuable or helpful in the things that we do. These are
usually seen as positive and traits that enable us to achieve what we set out to do.

B. My Interests

One’s interests are usually manifested in what one chooses or prefers to do. A person may be
interested in a basketball game, in reading a book, or in gardening. Any of these activities may give
a person a sense of satisfaction or enjoyment.

C. Parents’ Interests and Expectations

The career development of an individual and one’s career decision- making skills will be enhanced if
the family becomes involved in the process. The family has expectations, dreams, aspirations, and
hopes for each member, which ultimately influences the person’s goals and choices.

D. My Values

A person’s values are his/her personal convictions about what is desirable. Values influences how a
person acts and what we expect of others. These also influence our choices and our goals.

DEVELOPING A PROFESSIONAL GROWTH PLAN

A person cannot align his career unless he has aligned his personal life. He knows what he is
headed to, what he wants and how to get it. Many people are so focused on their career but their
personal life in a mess.

Career goals must be aligned to one’s personal mission and life goals. If a person has a personal
mission of making his life meaningful and memorable, he will align his career towards that direction.
He will probably choose a job where he can maximize his service to others. Make decisions that will
not only serve his personal interest and always righteous in his actions and decisions

As a starting point in your personal and professional growth, make your personal mission-vision
statement. This represents your desired ultimate outcome. What your life stands for and the
contributions you want to make. As an example:

My Personal Mission

To maximize my contributions in making this world a better place to live in by reaching out to others
with the use of my God given talents and resources.

My Ultimate Vision

I envision myself coming face to face with my creator, happy to make an account of my contributions
in the mission that he entrusted to me.

Once you are clear about your life mission-vision, proceed to the planning of your career.

The first step towards building a successful career is to plan your career direction. This entails
formulation of your career goals and aspirations and the action you need to take to materialize them.

To arrive at workable action plan, you must be able to recognize what is important to you, what you
want and what is needed to achieve them. Then asses your strengths and weaknesses so that you
make right choices, one that best suits your personality, talents and inner resources.

You Need a Growth Plan to Serve as your Guide

A growth plan is like a map that states the direction towards where you decide to grow both in your
personal and professional life within a given period of time

This growth plan consists of three parts:

1. Inventory of Assets, Liabilities, Opportunities and Threats

The assets include one’s talents, abilities, skills and competencies as well available resources –
money, contacts, materials, etc.

Liabilities include weaknesses, personal handicaps, and skills deficiency

Opportunities are external factors in the environment which facilitate goal attainment. For example:
opportunities to work abroad, scholarships made available to students, job opportunities, etc.

Professionalism
Revision # 00
Threats are those that serve as stumbling blocks to goal attainment.

2. Inventory of Resource Requirements

What is needed to realize goals, like personality attributes, required competencies, educational and
academic requirement, etc?

3. Action Plan

This consists of specific mission-vision statement, long term goals specific objectives and action
plans that will best respond to the mission and the goals. The plan must also describe the
mechanics of implementation like when, how it will be done, who will be involved, etc.

All these information provide the basis for effective goal setting and action planning. A person must
know his strengths, limitations and inner resources so that he can plan ways of using his assets to
his best advantage. Improve his weaknesses and overcome threats for goal attainment. He also
needs to know what is required to reach certain goals so that he can plan ways to meet them.

STEPS IN PERSONAL/CAREER PLANNING

1. Prepare a personal mission statement

This must state what you wish to accomplish for a meaningful career. A meaningful mission
statement must not be confined to satisfying personal needs. You will find greater meaning in life
when you aim for serving others through the career you have chosen.

2. Formulate long-term goals

No success will ever be realized without goals and actions. Actions must be directed towards goals it
must be established from well-examined realities and sensible values so that they become realistic,
attainable and meaningful.

3. Identify the requirements to attain your goal.

Then assess your capacities to meet these requirements.

4. Establish specific, measurable, attainable and relevant objectives in relation to each goal.

The goals must also respond to the requirements that have identified in number 3.

5. Prepare action plans

After identifying requirements, identify the steps, strategies and actions you will take to satisfy each
requirement. This is your action plan. It must include a timetable for accomplishment- when to start
and when it is expected to be finished.

6. Identify needed resources

organizational goals

Learning to commit oneself to goals and career

Making a public commitment to something makes people more hesistant to make changes. When
one has showed his/her commitment to something especially if this done publicly, the person will
ultimately tend to carry out.Very often, after setting our own goals, we may have the tendency to set
this aside or even forget them. Thus it is important that one does not only identify or set goals but
makes it public in order to elicit greater chance of attainment.

The Organizational Climate

This is one factor that must be considered to satisfied people to work.

There are two Aspects of Organizational Climate

1. Organizational Character – which consists of the structure, strategy, purposes, and goals,
and internal social system.

feedback, and people relationships.
Five Characteristics of a Good Organizational Climate

1. Clarity – is the individuals sense of understanding or organizational goals and policies and of
being clear about the job, the feelings that things are organized and running smoothly.
2. Recognition – is the feeling that the people are rewarded and recognized for doing good
work as constracted of the criticism for poor performance is more likely to
be received than recognition to good performance.

1. Commitment – is defined as the feeling of continuing support to good achievement related to

acceptance and realism of goals.
2. Responsibility – is the feeling of personal accountability for work comma, a sense of
individual initiative.
3. Teamwork – is the feeling of belonging to an organization characterized by cohesion , mutual
warmth and support, trust and pride.
Two Key Factors that Determine How Employee Will Perform the Job

1. His Motivation – These factors hold the answer to why an employee behaves the way he
does and why one is more productive than another under similar circumstances.
2. His Ability – An individual’s value system made up of many but interrelated factors affects his
perception of a particular task and helps to determine his inclination to perform.
The influence of this factor is filtered through the individual’s needs co cycled with organizational
conditions leads to his motivation to peform at some degree of capacity.

organizations existing in the company.

Influences of Meaningful Goals in Organization

It is the job of manager to achieve organizational goals. He does this through management systems
and the proper utilization of human resources. There is synergistic relationship between
interpersonal competence, goals and systems. Successful goal setting is a formal organization

ORGANIZATIONAL KEY RESULT AREA (KRA)

The organization gives attention to fair employment practices. All employees are appraised on their
job performances.

Traditional Performance Appraisal Systems

Two Techniques

1. Job evaluation
2. Performance Appraisal
Some Performance Appraisal System:

1. Ranking – the oldest and simplest system of formal, systematic rating is to compare one
person with all others for the purpose of placing them in a simple rank order of worth.
2. Person - to person- comparison – certain factor, such as leadership, initiative and
dependability were analyzed and a scale was designed for each factor. Personnel are
compared to key persons, one factor at a time.
3. Grading – in the grading system, categories of worth are established in advance and
carefully defined. For example, there are three categories of personnel: outstanding,
satisfactory and unsatisfactory. The employee will be rated O, S and U.
4. Graphic Scales – It is an approach similar to that of the person-to-person system except that
the degrees on the factor scales are represented by definition rather than by key people.
5. Checklists – the rater does not evaluate employee performance, it is merely reported. The
staff personnel department accomplishes the evaluation of the worth of reported behavior.
6. Essay – a simple description of employee performance. The rater will compose a narrative
explaining this rating.
The organization must do the following:

1. set standards of performance

2. identify work activities
3. measure performance
4. evaluate results and causes
5. correct variances
The employee must ensure to know the following:

1. the job itself
