Editor's Notes

  • #2 As an into OB, this statement substantiates how difficult it is to understand and comprehend human behavior in an organizational environment, where the organizational goals are profoundly dependent on the individual’s capability to move with others, in being productive.
  • #3 The special categories of workplaces denote the significance in coping up with different behaviours of employees at different work environments. This is to understand the significance of behavior of an individual, in a group and in an organization. Make them find out a few companies where a different work culture exists, and let them justify what they feel about the company!
  • #4 What do you think will be the morale of the workforce employed in such a company?
  • #5 The Individual – Group – Organization chain is empowered by such policies – Ritz Carlton
  • #15 Rank these as individuals and then as groups. Compare your individual and group scores. Identify the deviations and understand the individual and group behavior.
  • #20 Moving: Restless mind/ brain, Still: healthy, slowly moving: Lack of sleep
