Human Relations can be defined as relations with or between people. The study of human relations is particularly interested in how people relate with others in workplace settings. Throughout this text, we will explore various topics that will help us understand ourselves and how to relate with others in personal and professional contexts.

To understand and develop strong human relations skills, you will begin by learning more about how you view yourself. In this chapter you will explore the question “Who am I?” as you learn about the psychological concepts of identity, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and how they inform your overall self-concept. This will provide you with a strong foundation to build upon in subsequent chapters. First, you will examine your self-concept.
