concepts which revolve around the nature of people and
organizations.
The fundamental concepts of organizational behavior are;
 Individual Differences.

 The desire for Involvement.
 The value of the Person.
 Human Dignity.
 Organizations are Social System.
 Mutuality of Interest.
 Holistic Concept.

9.  Individual Differences
The idea of the individual difference comes
originally from psychology. Each person is
unique, and personal experiences tend to
make people even more different.
 Perception
Employees see work differently for differ
in their personalities, needs, demographics
factors, past experiences, and social
surroundings.

10.  A Whole Person
An employee’s personal life is not
detached from his working life. As a result,
its impact falls on her concentration that
means her working life. So the manager
should treat an employee as a whole person
 Motivated Behavior
Some motivations are necessary to enrich
the quality of work. A path toward increased
need fulfillment is the better way to enhances
the quality of work.

11.  Desire for Involvement
The organization should provide employees
a chance to express their opinions, ideas, and
suggestions for the decision-making
problem. A meaningful involvement can bring
mutual benefit to both parties.
 Value of the Person
The employees want to be treated with
carrying respect, dignity and other things
from their employers.

12.  Human Dignity
People are to be treated differently from other
factors of production because they are of a
higher order in the universe.
It recognizes human dignity because people are
of a higher order; they want to be treated with
respect and dignity.
 Organizations are Social System
In fact, two types of social systems exist side
by side in organizations. One is a formal system,
and the other is the informal social system.

13.  Mutuality of Interest
Mutual interest is represented by the
statement that organizations need people
and people also need organizations. Mutual
interest provides a super-ordinate goal that
unites the variety of needs that people bring
to organizations.
 Holistic Concept
When the fundamental concepts of OB are
placed together, a holistic concept emerges.
Issues are analyzed in terms of the total
situation affecting them rather than in terms
of an isolated event or problems.

 Total Quality Management (TQM).
 Managing Workforce Diversity.

17. Organizational Behavior will not abolish
conflict and frustration; it can only reduce
them. It is a way to improve, not an absolute
answer to problems.
3 major limitations of OB are;
 Behavioral Bias.
 The Law of Diminishing Returns.
 Unethical Manipulation of People.
