INTERPERSONAL ORIENTATION
It
is a theory of interpersonal relations, introduced by William
Schutz in 1958.
“FIRO-B
Instrument: A Three-dimensional Theory of Interpersonal
Behavior” (1958)
The
theory believes that when people get together in a group, there
are three main interpersonal needs they are looking to obtain –
affection/openness, control and inclusion. 2
FUNDAMENTAL INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS ORIENTATION-BEHAVIOR
How they come across to others – and why this may not be the
way they see themselves
This indicates how close and warm someone is with others and
how close and warm they want others to be with them.

STUDY OF AWARENESS -JOHARI
WINDOW
Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham have developed a model to
look at one’s personality
Information known to 1 2
others Open Self Blind Self
(Public Area) (Blind Area)
30
BLIND SELF : JOHARI WINDOW
Blind Self: information is not known to self but known to others, who
interact with you, know more about you.
This is known as blind area.
Hidden Self: Self knows information but others do not know it.

UNKNOWN SELF: JOHARI WINDOW

DEVELOPMENT OF INTER-PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP
Develop Positive Attitude, Empathy, Communication:
It should be an endeavour of every manager to look at the
individuals, situations from positive point of view and remove
distortion if any in a particular situation.
Personal bias is dangerous and acts as bloc in improving
relationship.
Reduce blind area and convert it in to public area.
35
PERCEPTION ERRORS:
Stereotyping: In social psychology of an over-generalized belief
about a particular category of people.
36
PERCEPTION ERRORS
Attribution errors: It means that when others screw up, we
blame it on them, but when we screw up, we blame the situation
and circumstances.
37
EGO STATE
EGO STATES: consistent patterns of behaviors,
feelings and thoughts
Main types
Parent ego state – life as it is taught
Adult ego state – life as is thought
Child ego states – life as it is felt
38
EGO STATE
40
EGO STATE- TRANSACTION
Parent ego state (P) is authoritarian, the adult ego state (A) is
rational and logical in approach and lastly the child ego state (C) is
impulsive.
• Every person transacts from all the three ego states but each one of
us has one ego state as dominant.
Manager(S) A A
Employee(R)
42
ANALYSIS OF TRANSACTION
Adult – Parent Transaction: Manager speaks from adult ego state
which is rational and backed by rules and regulations while the
employees speak from the parent ego state which is authorization.
Is not likely to smooth in the long run. Parent ego state (workers)
will try to control and dominate the manager. The employees may
develop hostile attitude towards the boss

ANALYSIS OF TRANSACTION
Adult – Child Transactions: Is effective if child ego is of little
professor category where employees can work with certain
amount of creativity.
Manager in this type of situation has to keep guiding and
tolerating childlike behaviour of employees.
I can be not productive for the organization.

44
ANALYSIS OF TRANSACTION
Parent – Parents transactions: It is characterized by admonitions,
rewards, and work by rule, praise and punishment.
If both i.e., the manager and employees have the above
characteristics of ego state, the stimuli and response will be
dominating from either side.
Manager will have to take up a nurturing parent attitude for
transaction to productive .
Manager(S) Employee(R)
P P
45
ANALYSIS OF TRANSACTION
Parent – Adult ego state: The boss is transacting from
parent ego while he subordinate is responding from adult
ego state.
Such type of relationship may not last long. Employees
rational and logical thinking will be marred by parent
ego state.
This may diminish good working relationship of the two
parties.
One will have to switch over to the corresponding ego
state. P
Manager(S) 46
Employee(R)
A
ANALYSIS OF TRANSACTION
Parent – Child ego state: This transaction is workable in the
organization where the manager will get the work done from
subordinates by advising, guiding, and by assigning rewards for
good work and punishment for non-performance.
The subordinates (Child ego) will listen to manager and look
forward for advice, guidance, and assistance at each stage of
production cycle.
Manager may get frustration because he may develop the feeling that
he is controlling an inefficient work force.

ANALYSIS OF TRANSACTION
Child – Parent ego state :This is not a very effective style
of communication whose manager has a child ego state
and employee’s parent ego state.
In such situation employees would control the manager.
Manager(S) 48
C
ANALYSIS OF TRANSACTION
Child – Adult ego state Transactions: When manager acts
from child ego, there will be poor decisions based on
whims and fancies and emotions.
This will pose a problem for employees who want to
work rationally.
Unless the ego state of the manager is changed, this is
going to be problem in the organization.

C Manager(S)
49
ANALYSIS OF TRANSACTION
Child – Child ego state: This organization even can be
called as leaderless.
Manager with child ego dominant is more of a liability to
the organization.
Performance of the organization will be poor, no growth,
no new ideas, and lethargy will prevail in the system.
In such situation, the manager should be replaced.

ULTERIOR TRANSACTIONS
Ulterior transactions are most complex transactions
It involves more than two egos states working at the same time
with double meaning in the stimulus.
This type of transaction is very common i.e. diplomatic circles
when you say something but mean the other.
51
NON-COMPLIMENTARY OR CROSS
TRANSACTIONS
They are those transactions which a sender sends the message on
the basis of his ego state, but the response is from an incompatible
ego state on the part of receiver.
Such behaviour occur when stimulus and response is not parallel.

LIFE POSITIONS
I am Not OK I am Ok
You are OK D C
Difficult Competent/Confiden
t/Creative.
55
LIFE POSITIONS -I AM OKAY YOUR OKAY (C)
This is an ideal life position because this position is rationally chosen one.
People who have been neglected by parents in their childhood take this position.
They generally operate from rebellion child ego state that feel victimized and blame
others for their miseries.
Mangers lack trust, confidence in the intellectual level, skills and talent in their
subordinates and do not believe in delegation of authority. They perceive delegation as
threat to their personal existence.
57
Managers are critical, oppressive and point out flaws in the working of subordinates.
They operate from critical parent ego state and rarely give positive remarks.
LIFE POSITIONS- I AM NOT OKAY, YOU ARE OKAY
(D)
Stroking is a basic unit of motivation that can be seen from the following
I. The quantity and the quality of strokes serve as either positive or
negative motivation for employees.
II. Good share of psychological satisfaction we get from work is from
strokes available from other persons. 60
III. We get strokes from the work itself.

Negative strokes on the other hand are the feeling “you are not
okay” conveyed by superiors by way of criticism, hating and by
scolding for the job not done well
