WORKERS
OB can help employees
become a more engaged
organizational member.
Getting along with others,
doing great work, lowering
stress levels, making more
effective decisions, and
working effectively within a
team—these are all things OB
addresses!
EMPLOYERS
People who are satisfied with
the way they are treated on the
job are generally more pleasant
to their co-workers and bosses
and are less likely to quit than
those who are dissatisfied with
the way others treat them
(Judge & Church, 2000;
Greenberg, 2005).
ORGANIZATIONS
The best companies in the
world understand that the
people make the place. How do
we know this? Well, we know
that organizations that offer
good employee benefits and
that have friendly conditions
are more profitable than those
who are less people oriented
(Bollinger, 1996; Greenberg,
2005).

PEOPLE
STRUCTURE
TECHNOLOGY
An organization consists of people with
different traits, personality, skills,
qualities, interests, background, beliefs,
values and intelligence. In order to
maintain a healthy environment, all the
employees should be treated equally
and be judged according to their work
and other aspects that affects the firm.
Structure is the layout design of an
organization. It is the construction
and arrangement of relationships,
strategies according to the
organizational goal.
Technology can be defined as the
implementation of scientific knowledge
for practical usage. It also provides the
resources required by the people that
affect their work and task performance
in the right direction.

AccordingtoResearch
Research shows that successful organizations have
several things in common such as providing employment
security, engaging in selective hiring, utilizing self-
managed teams, being decentralized, offering
competitive compensation, training employees,
reducing status differences, and sharing information.
Aguirre et al., 2005
Research also shows that organizations that are
considered healthier and more effective have strong OB
characteristics such as role clarity, information sharing,
and performance feedback. Unfortunately, research
shows that most organizations are unhealthy, with 50%
of respondents saying that their organizations do not
engage in effective OB practices
