The principles of organizational behavior
The concept of organizational behavior refers to the set of ideas, approaches and models, which constitute the interface between collective and individual contexts of an organization. There are several principles inherent to the system of organizational behavior. Among the most essential are the following ones:
Division of organizational behavior into the three distinct levels
Organizational behavior patterns of any organization can be classified into individuals, work-groups and intra-organizational. Thus, in before any sort of organizational behavior analysis is commenced, deciding which type suits a particular working scenario is important (Ison & Campbell, 2015).
Organizational behavior should be productive
In some situations, the working climate of a particular organization is counter-productive. To be more specific, instead of creating favorable and auspicious working conditions, the employer may turn the workplace into a nightmare for his staff. Thus, analyzing the systems and choosing the most successful ones is highly important in this regard (Kottler & Heskett, 1992).
Organizational Behavior is Manageable
Productive executives should always realize that organizational behavior does not emerge accidentally. In contrast, it is the result of concentrated activities and efforts of the multiple contributors of the organization. Therefore, by changing their professional behavior, an accomplished manager can easily change organizational behavior of the entire organization (Robbins, 2004).
Organizational Behavior is Critical for Success
The practice also shows that organizational behavior often determines the amount of sales generated by the organization. Specifically, if ‘organizational climate’ of the organization is positive, the employees will be more motivated and work more productively, than if the atmosphere is depressive. The practice also demonstrates that even the companies with perfect product offers and experienced may demonstrates unsatisfactory market performance, if their organizational behavior style has not been streamlined accordingly (Ison & Campbell, 2015).
Organizational Behavior Should be Changeable
Finally, today’s markets are extremely dynamic. As a result, businesses with old-fashioned approaches to management of organizational behavior may lose their effectiveness. Thus, reviewing the systems of organizational behavior on a regular basis is necessary.
Other Aspects to Consider
In addition to the issues discussed above, organizational behavior is strongly dependent on moods, emotions, emotional intelligence and labor of the employees. Thus, many studies demonstrated that these individual psychological distinctiveness of the employees are very important in determining overall organizational behavior.
Furthermore, motivation, social loafing and groups’ cohesion are also essential for elements of organizational culture, influencing its shape both directly and intermediately. In general, it is possible concluding that a professional manager should take all these issues into consideration before developing or executing any HR policies, which focus on organizational behavior of a business unit.
