What Is Organizational Behaviour?
. . . a field of study that investigates the impact that individuals, groups and structure have on behaviour within organizations, for the purpose of applying such knowledge toward improving an organization’s effectiveness. ( Kreitner and Kinicki )
![Page 5: Organizational Behaviour with Rev Dr Japhet Ndhlovu.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042616/56649ee15503460f94bf12f4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Organizational Behavior (OB) is the study and application of knowledge about how people, individuals, and groups act in organizations. It does this by taking a system approach. That is, it interprets people-organization relationships in terms of the whole person, whole group, whole organization, and whole social system. Its purpose is to build better relationships by achieving human objectives, organizational objectives, and social objectives

Why Do We Study OB?• To learn about yourself and how to deal
with others• You are part of an organization now, and
will continue to be a part of various organizations
• Organizations are increasingly expecting individuals to be able to work in teams, at least some of the time
• Some of you may want to be managers or entrepreneurs or are already and need to sharpen your skills

Elements of Organizational Behavior
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.
![Page 8: Organizational Behaviour with Rev Dr Japhet Ndhlovu.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042616/56649ee15503460f94bf12f4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

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.

Models of Organizational Behavior
• There are four major models or frameworks that organizations operate out of:
1. 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.
![Page 10: Organizational Behaviour with Rev Dr Japhet Ndhlovu.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042616/56649ee15503460f94bf12f4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
power with a managerial orientation of authority

2. 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.

3. 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.

Dr Japhet Ndhlovu 13
4. 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. The first model, autocratic, has its roots in the industrial revolution.
![Page 15: Organizational Behaviour with Rev Dr Japhet Ndhlovu.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042616/56649ee15503460f94bf12f4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Dr Japhet Ndhlovu 15
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.

The Rigour of OB• OB looks at consistencies
– What is common about behaviour, and helps predictability?
• OB is more than common sense– Systematic study, based on scientific
evidence
• OB has few absolutes
• OB takes a contingency approach– Considers behaviour in context
![Page 28: Organizational Behaviour with Rev Dr Japhet Ndhlovu.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042616/56649ee15503460f94bf12f4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Beyond common SenseSystematic Study
– Looking at relationships, attempting to attribute causes and effects and drawing conclusions based on scientific evidence
– Behaviour is generally predictable– There are differences between
individuals– There are fundamental consistencies– There are rules (written & unwritten) in
almost every setting

the impact that individuals, groups, and structure have on behaviour within an organization.
• OB focuses on improving productivity, reducing absenteeism and turnover, and increasing employee job satisfaction and organizational commitment.
• OB uses systematic study to improve predictions of behaviour.
