What is organizational behavior

Classic Tech

Organizational behavior is a field that studies how individuals, groups, and structure influence behavior in organizations and how that knowledge can be applied to improve organizational effectiveness. It draws from various behavioral disciplines including psychology, sociology, social psychology, anthropology, and political science. Psychology contributes an understanding of individual behavior, while sociology provides insight into group and social dynamics. Organizational behavior aims to understand how characteristics of people and the workplace impact human behavior and performance in order to help organizations achieve their goals and better manage their environments.

Organizational behavior is the study of how people interact within groups in organizational settings. It draws from psychology, sociology, and anthropology to understand human behavior in work environments. The field began in the 1890s with scientific management. Understanding organizational behavior is important for identifying positive and negative behaviors, creating a supportive culture through incentives, and anticipating employee responses to change. Its principles help improve customer service, teamwork, leadership, ethics, and employee performance and satisfaction.

DwightEvaluation Leadership style assessments certainl.docx

Dwight Evaluation Leadership style assessments certainly have a place within the organization. The effectiveness of a leadership style assessment will depend on what type of assessment and what the organizational needs are. Multi-source feedback assessments are supposed to give a 360 degree look at a leader and give the organization a valuable outcome in the evaluation of the leader (MacKie, 2015). Using multi-source feedback assessments can be extremely beneficial as long as the assessment is properly paired with the organizational goals and needs. Assessing a leader from multi perspectives is truly a holistic approach. But, organizations need to recognize that no leadership style assessment is not without its limitations. Next, the behavior approach is one of four approaches to leadership. Three of which all have weaknesses; traits, skills, and behavior. But the fourth approach to leadership, the situational approach demonstrates the flexibility of a leader (Northouse2016, 2016). In today’s dynamic and complex business environment, flexible leaders bring the most value to an organization. The situational approach allows the leader to apply the other three approaches given the circumstances. As an Army leader I found this approach to be extremely effective while leading in combat and non-combat situations. Explanation of Usefulness Of equal importance is the usefulness leadership style assessments and the behavior approach have on an organization. Once an organization has clearly defined the goals and purpose of conducting an assessment, and then subsequently the correct assessment is used, the results will certainly help the organization. In this case, using an assessment to evaluate the benefits of a behavior approach to leadership will allow the organization to determine what needs to be done, how it needs to be done, and how fast it needs to be done (Saxena, 2014). Additionally, the behavior approach (if the relationship behavior is used), can give subordinates the motivation needed to achieve the desired outcome through a better understanding of themselves. Explanation of Impact The impact of leadership assessments on an individual can be positive or negative. Again, this directly correlates to the goals and expectations of the organization when the assessment is implemented. For the individual, it could potentially identify strengths and weaknesses. Thus, giving the individual the opportunity to grow and learn from the assessment. Simultaneously, the organization discovers how these strengths and weaknesses fit into the organization’s goals. Once they have identified where and how an individual nest into the organization, a holistic approach to achieving those goals can be developed (Northouse2016, 2016). In comparison, using a behavior approach assessment will yield valuable information about subordinates’ behavior patterns. Which equates to the organization knowing and understanding their employees. Understanding behavio.

Introduction To Behavioral Sciences In Administration

Mohammed Anis

The behavioral science approach studies human behavior in organizations using principles from psychology, sociology, and anthropology. It views organizations from the individual employee perspective rather than just production. The goals are to understand, predict, and influence employee behavior through motivation, leadership, communication, and other means to improve performance. The behavioral approach includes the human relations approach, which focuses on how managers relate to employees, and the behavioral science approach, which gives more value to employee attitudes, behavior, and group dynamics. The contributions of behavioral science are a better understanding of the human element in management and insights to design work situations and training programs that increase productivity and performance. The limitations include the complexity of human behavior and lack of agreement among behavioral scientists.
