Describe the concept of learning and examine how any three (3) internal factors can adversely affect effective learning and change in individual’s behaviour within the organization.

Learning is the concept in which a person would be acquiring new knowledge along with modifying the existing knowledge where the values or the preferences are modified. Learning ability is possessed by most animals humans as well as machines. Learning may be immediate or may take some time. Since birth humans begin to learn and this learning is continued till end.

The internal factors that affect learning are:

• Motivation: motivation changes the behavior of a person within an organisation. depending on the response they get from the seniors or the intrinsic motivation that they have, work would either progress in a positive direction or would progress in a negative direction. alternatively, the person might start getting excited to work more or depressed if they feel negatively motivated.
• Self efficacy: depending on the self efficacy of a person, their attitudes are perceived. not every person has the same skill set or talents to perform a task. as a result, some people might perform the same task in half the time compared to another colleague. this sort of self efficacy drives a person so as to finish their work sooner and move to another project. such people are also regarded highly by the other people of the organisation and in turn have a positive influence and relation with other members.
• Focus on goals: a person is always positively motivated if they are focused on their goals. the focus drives them to achieve their goals and push them in the correct direction. such people are more motivated to achieve a particular project and tend to excel any work they might be doing.
