This document discusses several concepts related to understanding human nature and behavior in organizational settings. It outlines two propositions: 1) that behavior is influenced by both individual and environmental factors, and 2) that behavior has a cause-and-effect relationship where a stimulus causes an individual's response. It then describes the Stimulus-Organism-Behavior (SOB) model, which shows how individuals receive and process stimuli, form responses based on their beliefs and attitudes, and may provide feedback on their actions. The document also discusses differences between individuals that influence behavior and the concept of bounded rationality, where perfect rationality is impossible due to human cognitive limitations.

- 1. Understanding Human Nature and Behavior
- 10. The Three Levels of Organizational Behavior Organizational Processes The Individual Group Processes
Editor's Notes
- 5 The first level of Organizational Behavior (micro OB) studies the individual. It is the smallest level of organizational analysis and includes topics such as perception, personality, motivation, and learning. The second level of organizational behavior is the small group that is made up of individual employees (two people or more) within an organization. It includes issues of group size and composition, cohesion, trust, conflict management, team building, small-group decision making, and leadership. The third level of OB analysis (macro OB) involves larger groups, such as departments, and organizational processes. Topics include the design and structure of organizations, organizational culture and strategy, organizational power and politics, change, and organizational effectiveness. Most managers must understand their organizations at all three levels of analysis to meet the daily challenges they face.
