● Organisational behaviour is an integrated process by which the role and
behaviour of people are incurred. In order to perform interactive and mutual tasks
and to develop some behavioural aspects, certain key elements are to be
included. These elements may develop the interactive aspects for the well-being
of persons.
○ People: People make the interactive and behavioural platform in any
organisation and people consist in the form of individuals and groups. The
role and behaviour of people identifies, recognises and develops the
interactive relations towards behavioural attitudes in society.
■ At O’Grady , People were quite helpful and they enjoyed the
company of their teammates. Also there wasn’t any strict hierarchy
and bosses were very supportive.
■ At Reece, People weren’t very much helpful and they even
resented the appointment of Tony. Bosses didn’t care about the
work and there was a hectic official process for any work to be
completed.
○ Interactive Behaviour: The interactive relations and behaviour between
individuals and groups as well as the relations by formal and informal
ways also have an important role to make perspectives in organisational
behaviour.
■ At O’Grady, Tony had observed that employees there got along
well both personally and professionally and truly worked together
as a team. Tony and other managers used to go to lunch often and
played golf on saturdays.

■ At Rees, Tony’s colleagues treated him differently. Some

colleagues also resented why Tony, being an outsider was given a
position equivalent to theirs. They also declined Tony’s invitation to
play golf and were found making plans for playing later.
○ Structure : The formal relationship of people makes the structural design
in organisation. The managerial and organisational levels are decorated
by specific jobs as well as levels to be incurred in structural design. The
rights and responsibilities are also being determined in a particular group
or structure.
■ At O’Grady, organisational structure was decentralised and it
allowed it’s managers to work with considerable autonomy and
freedom.The corporate Culture was easygoing. Communication
was open. It seemed that everyone knew what was going on at all
 times, and if they didn’t know about something, it was easy to find
out.
■ Reece was a bigger organization than O’Grady and was structured
more bureaucratically. No one was allowed to make any sort of
decision without getting three signatures from higher up. Those
signatures, though, were hard to get. All the top managers usually
were too busy to see anyone, and interoffice memos apparently
had very low priority.
○ Environment: All organisations operate within internal and external
environments. The existence, structural design, work performance, mutual
relations and behavioural patterns are duly influenced by the internal and
external environmental factors.

■ At O’Grady, Environment was relaxed and easy going. Everyone

had their say in the work and bosses had been very supportive,
giving the employees the help they needed but also stayed out of
their way and let them work in their own way.
■ At Reece, there wasn’t a very relaxing environment and Tony had
some problems fitting in there. Bosses used to be very busy to see
anyone and they didn’t even bother about the things the employees
were doing.
● In my opinion, Tony should have enquired about the culture of Reece before
joining the company. In the current scenario, Tony should try to get along with
the colleagues as time passes and look for a new job if it doesn’t work.
○ Every individual in this world is different from others and Tony’s
colleagues may not be happy with him in the current situation because it is
possible that they might be thinking that Tony didn’t deserve to get the
post of manager at joining while they had to spend years in the company
to get at that post. As time will pass and they will know more about Tony
and his abilities, it’s possible that they get friendly with him.
○ Peoples’ perceptions are also different when they see an object. Two
people can differently present the same object. And this is occurring for
their experiences. A person always organizes and interprets what he sees
according to his lifetime of experience and accumulated value.Employees
also see work differently to differ in their personalities, needs,
demographics factors, past experiences, and social surroundings. As
employees of Reece have lived in a hectic and bureaucratic work culture,
they think that no one can be appointed directly to manager post even if
he has the qualification. After looking at Tony’s abilities they may accept
that he is the person right for the manager post and will not behave badly
with him.
 ○ Tony’s desire to involve in activities with colleagues in Reece is quite
natural but he should also value himself as a person because every
person needs to be treated with dignity and respect and if the
organisational system of Reece doesn't provide him with this, he should
look for alternatives.
○ As the work culture of O’Grady was very friendly and Tony is having good
experience of that, it’s possible that Tony may motivate other colleagues
at Reece to turn the work environment a bit friendly and he may then work
there happily.
● No, It isn’t always possible to find an ideal workplace according to one’s need.
○ Interpersonal interaction is normally in a peer relationship which
represents man's most natural attempt at socialisation.. A person may
control his attitude towards his colleagues. If a person isn’t willing to talk
to anyone then he may do so but when it comes to inter group
relationships then interaction plays an important role in focussing on group
objectives. It’s very hard to be in an organisation where you don’t like your
colleagues and we aren’t allowed to choose our colleagues ourselves. So
it is possible that there are people in our team whom we don’t like
personally but we will have to work with them in a team.
○ Every individual is different from the other in respect of intelligence, habit,
nature, attitude, etc. This individual difference is the outcome of his
psychological aspects.People in an organisation have some strong beliefs
and possess certain value systems of their own. Let it be a manager or a
worker; each possesses the dignity of his position and role in the
organisation. An individual, who possesses a strong value system may not
compromise it simply, as such he has to be given the deserving value and
recognition. If anyone tries to get things done in his own way then it’s
almost impossible to do so. Often people have to manage and
compromise on certain issues to work efficiently.
○ Organisational structure or design depends on division of work,
departmentalisation, hierarchy and coordination. These factors vary in
different organisations. Moreover, power relationships, extent of
decentralisation, reporting methods and work procedures also differ in
organisations. A person may not find an organisation where
organisational structure suits his thinking even if he is getting a good
remuneration for his work.
