What is Organizational Behavior?
• The study and application of how employees behave within organizations
• Known as people skills • Field of study that investigates the impact
that individuals, groups and structure have on behavior within organizations for the purpose of applying such knowledge toward improving an organization.

1. O.B. is a field of study that investigates the impact that individuals , groups and structures have on behaviour within organizations for the purpose of applying such knowledge towards improving an organization’s effectiveness.
2. O.B. can be defined as the systematic study of the actions and reactions of individuals, groups and sub-systems.
3. O.B. is the study and understanding of individual and group behaviour, patterns of structure in order to help improve organizational performance and effectiveness.
4. O.B. is one of the most complex and perhaps least understood academic elements of modern general management, but since it concerns the behaviour of people within organizations it is also one of the most central- its concern with individual and group patterns of behaviour makes it an essential element in dealing with the complex behavioural issues thrown up in the modern business world.
5. O.B. is an inter-disciplinary behaviour science studying phenomena and dynamics(processes) of organizations and their various units.
Some definitions of OB
Powerpoint Templates Page 7
• Definition: The study of human behavior, attitudes, and performance in organizations.
• Value of OB: Helps people attain the competencies needed to become effective employees, team leaders/members, or managers
• Competency = an interrelated set of abilities, behaviors, attitudes, and knowledge needed by an individual to be effective in most professional and managerial positions
Organizational Behavior
Powerpoint Templates Page 8
Why Study Organizational Behavior?
• Chart the evolution of management thought on the nature of the organization
• Understanding of the organizational factors that influence work
• Understanding of how the work environment shapes organizational performance
Powerpoint Templates Page 9
The study of Organisational Behaviour involves...
• consideration of the interaction among the formal structure (organisational context in which the process of management takes place)
• the tasks to be undertaken• the technology employed and the methods of carrying
out work• the behaviour of people• the process of management• the external environment
Powerpoint Templates Page 10
ORGANISATION BEHAVIOUR
Interrelated dimensions influencing behaviour:• The Individual - working environment should satisfy
individual needs as well as attainment of organisational goals.
• The Group - formal and informal. Understanding of groups complements a knowledge of individual behaviour.
• The Organisation - impact of organisation structure and design, and patterns of management, on behaviour.
• The Environment - technological and scientific development, economic activity, governmental actions.

• Note that organizations are “open systems,” such that their long term effectiveness is determined by their ability to anticipate, manage, and respond to changes in their environment, with such changes resulting from external forces and/or stakeholders
• External forces include the labor force, the natural environment, the economy, and different cultures, while stakeholders include shareholders, customers, competitors, suppliers, creditors, governmental agencies and their regulations – Note the impact of these environmental influences on individual,
interpersonal, team, and organizational processes; organizations that do not effectively adapt to environmental change will fail
Organizations as Open systems
Powerpoint Templates Page 16
What is an Organization?
• Consciously coordinated social unit • Composed of two or more people • Functions on a continuous basis to
achieve a common goal • Characterized by formal roles that define
the behavior of its members
Powerpoint Templates Page 17
Organization: An organization has four essential elements (a) Group of people (b) Interacting with each other (c )In a structured manner (d) Towards a common objective Management: Implies getting things done through and with
people Manager: He is the dynamic, life-giving element in every
organization. And it is the quality and performance of its managers which is the only effective advantage an enterprise in a competitive economy can have and particularly in a business enterprise.
Basic Definitions related to OB
Powerpoint Templates Page 18
To provide an understanding of what goes on at the workplace. Four aspects need to be explained viz.
Definition, goals, forces and O. B. ’s major characteristics1. O.B. is the systematic study and careful application of knowledge
about how people- as individuals and as members of groups –act within organizations. It strives to identify ways in which people can act more effectively.
2. O.B. provides managers with the tools to: (a) to understand the behavior of individuals (b) to understand the complexities of inter-personal relations (c )to examine the dynamics of relationships within small groups –
both formal teams and informal groups (d) organizations can be viewed as whole systems that have inter-
organizational relationships

3 GOALS:•Most sciences share four goals-to describe, understand, predict and control some phenomena. •The field of OB seeks to replace intuitive explanations with systematic study O.B. has the following goals,1.Describe, systematically, how people behave under a variety of circumstances2.Understand why people behave as they do.3.Predicting future employee behavior.4.Control at least partially, and develop some human activity at work
• Managers can utilize the tool of O.B.to influence human behavior , skill development, team effort and productivity.
4 FORCES:• There are a wide array of issues and trends that affect the nature of organizations today. •They can be classified under four areasPEOPLE, STRUCTURE, TECHNOLOGY and the ENVIRONMENT

•The organization's base rests on management's philosophy, values, vision and goals. •This in turn drives the organizational culture which is composed of the formal organization, informal organization, and the social environment.• The culture determines the type of leadership, communication, and group dynamics within the organization. •The workers perceive this as the quality of work life which directs their degree of motivation. •The final outcome are performance, individual satisfaction, and personal growth and development. •All these elements combine to build the model or framework that the organization operates from.

he was studying this around time of major industrial changes
• ‘Father of Scientific Management’
• Increasing levels of output by monetary incentives as a motivator as well as formal organisation structures.

The Classical Organization Theory
• Personalities– Frederick W. Taylor– Frank and Lillian Gilbreth– Henry Gantt
• Advocated the application of scientific methods to analyze work and to determine how to complete production tasks efficiently
Powerpoint Templates Page 30
• Four principles– develop a scientific approach for each element of
one’s work– scientifically select, train, teach and develop each
worker– cooperate with workers to ensure that jobs match
plans and principles– ensure appropriate division of labor
Powerpoint Templates Page 31
Used scientific methods to determine the “one best way’Emphasized study of tasks, selection and training of workers,
and cooperation between workers and management
Improved factory productivity and efficiencyIntroduced scientific analysis to the workplacePiecerate system equated worker rewards and performance
• Simplistic motivational assumptions• Workers viewed as parts of a machine• Potential for exploitation of labor• Excluded senior management tasks

Hawthorne Studies Hawthorne Effect - workers perform and react differently when researchers observe them
Argued that managers should stress primarily employee welfare, motivation, and communication
Powerpoint Templates Page 33
““The Hawthorne Studies”The Hawthorne Studies”• Illumination Study (November 1924)
– Designed to test the effect of lighting intensity on worker productivity
– Heuristic value: influence of human relations on work behavior• Relay Assembly Test Room Study (1927-1932)
– Assembly of telephone relays (35 parts - 4 machine screws) – Production and satisfaction increased regardless of IV manipulation– Workers’ increased production and satisfaction related to
supervisory practices– Human interrelationships are important contributing factors to
worker productivity– Bottom Line: Supervisory practices increase employee morale
AND productivity
Powerpoint Templates Page 34
• Interviewing Program (1928-1930)– Investigate connection between supervisory practices and
employee morale– Employees expressed their ideas and feelings (e.g., likes and
dislikes)– Process more important than actual results
• Bank Wiring Room Observation Study (November 1931 - May 1932)– Social groups can influence production and individual work
behavior– RQ: How is social control manifested on the shop floor?– Informal organization constrains employee behavior within
formal organizational structure

Human Relations
• Aimed to understand how psychological and social processes interact with the work situation to influence performance
• Personalities– Abraham Maslow
Powerpoint Templates Page 39
Principles of Human Relations TheoryPrinciples of Human Relations Theory• Human relations theory is characterized by a shift in emphasis from
TASK to WORKER• Go beyond physical contributions to include creative, cognitive, and
emotional aspects of workers• Based on a more dyadic (two-way) conceptualization of
communication.• SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS are at the heart of organizational
behavior--effectiveness is contingent on the social well-being of workers
• Workers communicate opinions, complaints, suggestions, and feelings to increase satisfaction and production
• Origins (Hawthorne Studies & work of Chester Barnard)• Human Relations School of Management - Elton Mayo (Harvard

Cohesion, status, and group norms determine outputSocial needs have precedence over economic needs
Psychological and social processes influence performanceMaslow’s hierarchy of need
Ignored workers’ rational side and the formal organization’s contributions to productivity

Theory X and Theory Y: Douglas McGregorTheory X and Theory Y: Douglas McGregor• Douglas McGregor (1906-1964))
– Articulated basic principles of human relations theory– The Human Side of Enterprise (1960, 1985)– To understand human behavior, one must discover the theoretical
assumptions upon which behavior is based– Especially interested in the behavior of managers toward workers– “Every managerial act rests on assumptions, generalizations, and
hypotheses--that is to say, on theory . . . Theory and practice are inseparable.”
– Two Objectives:• Predict and control behavior• Tap Unrealized potential
– Theory X - Classical Theory– Theory Y - Human Relations Theory– FOCUS: Manager’s assumptions about HUMAN NATURE
Powerpoint Templates Page 42
– Assumptions• Physical and mental effort in work is similar to play / rest.• External control and the threat of punishment are not the only
strategies• Commitment to objectives is a function of the rewards associated
with their achievement• The average human being learns, under proper conditions, not
only to accept but to seek responsibility• The capacity to exercise a high degree of imagination, ingenuity,
and creativity in the solution of organizational problems is widely distributed in the population
• Intellectual potentialities of the average human being are underutilized
– A more positive perspective of human nature– The KEY to control and quality production is commitment to
organizational objectives
Powerpoint Templates Page 43
Organizational Behavior• Studies management activities that promote
employee effectiveness – investigates the complex nature of individual,
group, and organizational processes– Theory X
• managers assume that workers are lazy, irresponsible, and require constant supervision
– Theory Y • managers assume employees want to work and control
themselves
• Personalities– Douglas McGregor
Powerpoint Templates Page 44
Theory X and Theory Y: Douglas McGregorTheory X and Theory Y: Douglas McGregor• Theory X - Classical Theory
– Three Assumptions• The average human being has an inherent dislike of work and will
avoid it.• Most people must be coerced, controlled, directed, and threatened
with punishment• The average human being prefers to be directed, wishes to avoid
responsibility, has relatively little ambition, wants security.– Neither explains nor describes human nature
• Theory Y - Human Relations Theory
Powerpoint Templates Page 45
Theory Y Prototype: The Scanlon PlanTheory Y Prototype: The Scanlon Plan• Participative Management• Two Central Features
– Cost-reduction sharing for organizational members - sharing the economic gains from improvements in organizational performance
– Effective participation - a formal means of providing opportunities to every member of the organization to contribute ideas for improving organizational effectiveness.
• Must be implemented appropriately• Wastes time and undermines managerial power?• Magic formula for every organizational problem?• CONCERN for RELATIONSHIPS in the organization.• As the need to increase commitment grows, so does the need to develop
strong, communication-based relationships among organizational members, particularly between supervisor and subordinate.

There are four major models or frameworks that organizations operate out of:
• Autocratic - The basis of this model is power with a managerial orientation of authority. The employees in turn are oriented towards obedience and dependence on the boss. The employee need that is met is subsistence. The performance result is minimal.
Models of organizational behaviour
Powerpoint Templates Page 49
• Custodial - The basis of this model is economic resources with a managerial orientation of money. The employees in turn are oriented towards security and benefits and dependence on the organization. The employee need that is met is security. The performance result is passive cooperation.
• Supportive - The basis of this model is leadership with a managerial orientation of support. The employees in turn are oriented towards job performance and participation. The employee need that is met is status and recognition. The performance result is awakened drives.
Powerpoint Templates Page 50
• Collegial - The basis of this model is partnership with a managerial orientation of teamwork. The employees in turn are oriented towards responsible behavior and self-discipline. The employee need that is met is self-actualization. The performance result is moderate enthusiasm.
• Although there are four separate models, almost no organization operates exclusively in one.
• There will usually be a predominate one, with one or more areas over-lapping in the other models.
Powerpoint Templates Page 51
• The first model, autocratic, has its roots in the industrial revolution.
• The managers of this type of organization operate out of McGregor's Theory X.
• The next three models begin to build on McGregor's Theory Y.
• They have each evolved over a period of time and there is no one "best" model.
• The collegial model should not be thought as the last or best model, but the beginning of a new model or paradigm.

Fundamental Concepts of Organizational Behaviour
• In every field of social science, or even physical science, has a philosophical foundation of basic concepts that guide its development. There are some certain philosophical concepts in organizational behaviour also. The concepts are-
Powerpoint Templates Page 54
• Individual differences:Every individual in the world is different from others. This idea is supported by science (DNA). The idea of individual difference comes originally from psychology. From the day of birth, each person is unique, and individual experiences after birth tend to make people even more different.Motivated behaviour:An employee has so many needs inside him. So, they want to fulfil those needs. That's why; they had to perform well in the organization. A path toward increased need fulfilment is the better way of enriches the quality of work.
Powerpoint Templates Page 55
• Perception: Peoples perceptions are also differ when they see an object. Two people can differently present a same object. A person always organizes and interprets what he sees according to his lifetime of experience and accumulated value. Employees also see work differently for differ in their personalities, needs, demographics factors, past experiences and social surrounding.
Powerpoint Templates Page 56
• A whole person:An employee's personal life is not detached from his working life. As an example, A women who attend the office at 8:30 AM is always anxious for her children's school time (if her children able to attend the school or not). As a result, its impact falls on her concentration that means her working life. For this reason, we cannot separate it. So manager should treat an employee as a whole person.
Powerpoint Templates Page 57
• Desire for involvement: • Every employee is actively seeking opportunities
at work to involve in decision-making problems, share what they know and to learn from the experience. So, organization should provide them a chance to express their opinions, ideas and suggestion for decision-making problem.
• Value of the person: An employee wants to be treated separately from other factor of production (land, capital, labour). So, they have to be treated with carrying respect, dignity and etc.. from their employers and society.
Powerpoint Templates Page 58
• Mutual interest: In order to develop the organization behaviour mutually of interest organizations and people is necessary. Organizations need people and people in tern need organizations.
Powerpoint Templates Page 59
• Ethics: In order to attract and retain valuable employees in an era in which good workers are constantly required away, ethical treatment is necessary. Every Company is required to establish codes of ethics, publicized statements of ethical values, provided ethics training, rewarded employees for notable ethical behaviour, publicized positive role models, and set up internal procedures to handle misconduct.
Powerpoint Templates Page 60
International Dimensions of OBCorporate governance.
– The active oversight of management decisions,– corporate strategy, and financial reporting by
Boards of Directors.Ethics leadership.
– Making business and organizational decisions with high moral standards that meet the ethical test of being “good” and not “bad,” and of being “right "and not “wrong.”
Powerpoint Templates Page 61
Integrity:• Acting in ways that are always honest,
credible, and consistent in putting one’s values into practice.
• Positive organizational behaviour.Quality of work life.• The overall quality of human experience in
the workplace. Commitment to quality of work life is an important value within organizational behaviour. Theory Y provides the theoretical underpinnings for contemporary quality of work life concepts.
Powerpoint Templates Page 62
Positive organizational behaviour focuses on– practices that value human capacities and
encourage their full utilization.
Positive organizational behaviour is based onthe core capacities of:
– Confidence.– Hope.– Optimism.– Resilience (The ability to recover quickly from
illness, change, or misfortune).
Powerpoint Templates Page 63
Globalization.– The worldwide interdependence of resource
flows, product markets, and business competition.
Job migration.– The shifting of jobs from one nation to another
Powerpoint Templates Page 64
Personal management.– understand one’s self, exercising initiative,
accepting responsibility, working well with others, and continually learning from experience.
Self-monitoring.– Observing and reflecting on one’s own behaviour
and acting in ways that adapt to the situation.
Powerpoint Templates Page 65
Social Systems:• Organizations are social systems and governed by social and psychological laws.
They have social roles and status. Their behaviour influenced by their group's individual drives. Organization environment in a social system is dynamic. All parts of the system are interdependent. The shared values and beliefs among people in organization that affects the way they interacts, behaves and accomplishes certain task that distinguish one organization with other organization .
Powerpoint Templates Page 66
Organisational Culture• Organisational Culture is a sub culture of the
organisation, i.e., it comprises of the attitudes, experiences, beliefs and values of an organisation. It has been defined as "the specific collection of values and norms that are shared by people and groups in an organization and that control the way they interact with each other and outside the organization.
Powerpoint Templates Page 67
• culture encompasses the shared values, attitudes, standards, and beliefs and other characteristics that define an organization's operating philosophy. Organizational behaviour, meanwhile, can be under-stood in some ways as the academic study of corporate culture and its various elements, as well as other important components of behaviour such as organization structure and organization processes
