We have a story to tell to you all...
Once upon a time....
“Hanika is a supervisor at Administrative Department in SEMPURNA Company. She has 30 workers under her supervision. Hanika’s bad temper has been known by all member of the company. She always gets angry to her subordinate and sometimes without any reason. Although like that, Hanika still can cooperate with her subordinates except for one worker, name Mamayo. Hanika is very anti with Mamayo because he always disobeys her order. Hanika never have a talk to Mamayo by face to face. Suddenly, one day Hanika become friendly with Mamayo. She has converse with Mamayo in the morning at the office for the first time. It’s weird because she never talks to him before. Besides, she also has a weird habit. She love flowers but the weird thing is she use deliverer to deliver flowers and card that contain with sweet word to her office.”
In this situation, we can say that this is an external determination. External determination have three element where is distinctiveness, consensus, and consistency.
For the distinctiveness, it’s mean whether the individual display different behavior in different situation. The distinctiveness can be low when the individual do the thing that he/she always do and will be high if he/she suddenly change his/her attitude. Referring to the situation above, we can say that the distinctiveness is high because Hanika suddenly been friendly with Mamayo although before this she never like him.
For the consensus, it’s mean everyone who is face with a similar situation respond in the same way. Consensus will be low if everybody do the same thing and will be high if there have person who do different than others. Refer to the Hanika’s situation, she is the only one who have that weird habit in her department.
Furthermore, consistency is does the person respond the same way over time. The more consistences the behavior, the more the observer is inclined to attributed it to internal course. For the example, everyone in the company knows that she is bad temper person. It is normal thing if she always gets angry to her subordinates.
