Question

Raju has been a clerk in a business firm for over a decade. He feels that he has been doing his job efficiently. However, the promotion to a supervisory position, which he has been expecting, has never materialized. He feels sad about it, and a little angry with his manager, Rao, who is responsible for promotion.
Raju feels that a deserving promotion has been denied to him and he attributes it to the fact that Rao belongs to a community different from his. This feeling has gone to such an extent that Raju has become somewhat negligent in his work. He keeps a book of poems which he quietly reads in the office in moments of dullness. He has even begun to write the poems-a practice of hid college days and now he does so even in his office occasionally and delights in it. He even thinks of giving up his clerical job and imagines himself sitting on the chair of the sub-editor of a magazine which has published two of his poems under a pseudonym(nickname)

  1. Analyze the feelings and behavior of Raju in light of your knowledge of personality, perception and attitudes.
