Importance of Learning

Learning is important to develop smooth relationships with others. Certainly , behaviour takes place only when one attempts to interact with another or a group of people , and it as pointed out earlier is the result of learning.Therefore , an individual comes to know the correct behaviour through learning and develops it in order to establish smooth relationships.Remember your childhood.Sometimes , you might have been advised or blamed by your parents or elders for your eating habits .You might have been changed your eating habits in such a way as to establish smooth relationship with them.Even today , you may be following the same practise because they help you to have smooth relationships not only with the parents , but also with others.

Another importance of learning is its ability to remove uncertainly.To understand this , we shall remember your relationship with your boss. Try to remember whether you felt easy or uneasy when you were with your boss? Did you feel uncertain about the boss 's reaction towards your ideas ,responses etc.? If you had been working with the boss for a long period , today you may recall how uncertain you felt and have frustrated you were . Actually what you helped you to remove your feeling of uncertainty? The answer is learning . Through learning you have understood suitable behaviour pattern and you have learnt to continue it to date . Certainly , learning is a commonly used instrument to reduce uncertainty.

Another importance of learning in organizational setting is its ability to reduce people's burden in decision making .Learning does this by forming habitual behaviour.
Again , remember your way of eating . Today , it has become a habit.So it is not necessary to make a decision to repeat this behaviour .In order words , you are repeating your behaviour without the help of a primary decision making process. Similarly , learning helps the managers to reduce their decision making burden , which takes a major portion of their time.
