1. Explain the benefit of individual dimensions of organizational

behavior for effectiveness of organization mission, vision and objectives.

The purpose of organizational behavior is to gain a greater understanding of those factors

that influence individual and group dynamics in an organizational setting so that individuals and
the groups and organizations to which they belong may become more efficient and effective.

The benefits of organizational behavior

The study of organizational behavior gives insight on how employees behave and perform in the
workplace. It helps us develop an understanding of the aspects that can motivate employees,
increase their performance, and help organizations establish a strong and trusting relationship
with their employees.

The individual's behaviors and responses in any situation, whether they are acting in a group or
in isolation, has an influence and impact on the organization. If these behaviors are positive it
could lead to enhanced performance, effectiveness and productivity.

Mission

The mission describes the day-to-day work that, if the organization keeps doing it and

doing it well, will eventually make the vision become a reality. Like the vision statement,

a mission statement needs to be short. A sentence or two can easily sum up the value

Provided by the organization, and can be communicated to someone quickly and easily.

If needed, the mission statement may also be clarified by a short, descriptive paragraph.

A mission is always supported by one or more goals.

Vision

An organization’s vision is what it wants to be known for at some point in the future

5-10+ years). Visions do not need to be long documents. They just need to be a simple

Statement that describes the future. It only takes one sentence to do it, and if you would

Like to add a brief paragraph to explain or support the vision statement, that is fine; but it

has to be short and to the point. Do not write a ‘novel’ that nobody is going to take the

time to read or attempt to understand.

Objectives

Objectives are the smaller steps, activities and milestones that must be completed in

Order to achieve a goal. This is where the day-to-day tasks, services, and projects fall in

The overall scheme of things. Just as goals are the smaller supporting elements that

Lead to the accomplishment of the mission, the objectives is the smaller supporting

Elements that lead to the accomplishment of the goals. The SMART acronym can be

Applied to objectives.

For example, a goal might be to increase the customer service skills of customer-facing

Employees within the organization. To make that happen, the objectives of starting a

Project to develop a service training program, hiring employee development specialists,

And the actual teaching of classes would support accomplishing the larger goal

Motivation is a process that leads to an increase in the productivity

Motivation meets the needs of the employee and thereby creates the drive to work to the best of
his abilities.

The importance of motivation for an organization

through motivation that the human resources can be utilized by making full use of it. This can be
done by building willingness in employees to work. This will help the enterprise in securing best
possible utilization of resources.

2. Improves level of efficiency of employees

The level of a subordinate or a employee does not only depend upon his qualifications and
abilities. For getting best of his work performance, the gap between ability and willingness has to
be filled which helps in improving the level of performance of subordinates. This will result into-

a. Increase in productivity,

b. Reducing cost of operations, and

c. Improving overall efficiency.

3. Leads to achievement of organizational goals

The goals of an enterprise can be achieved only when the following factors take place :-

a. There is best possible utilization of resources,

b. There is a co-operative work environment,

c. The employees are goal-directed and they act in a purposive manner,

d. Goals can be achieved if co-ordination and co-operation takes place simultaneously which can
be effectively done through motivation.

4. Builds friendly relationship

Motivation is an important factor which brings employees satisfaction. This can be done by
keeping into mind and framing an incentive plan for the benefit of the employees. This could
initiate the following things:
a. Monetary and non-monetary incentives,

b. Promotion opportunities for employees,

c. Disincentives for inefficient employees.

In order to build a cordial, friendly atmosphere in a concern, the above steps should be taken by a
manager. This would help in:

i. Effective co-operation which brings stability,

ii. Industrial dispute and unrest in employees will reduce,

iii. The employees will be adaptable to the changes and there will be no resistance to the change,

iv. This will help in providing a smooth and sound concern in which individual interests will
coincide with the organizational interests,

v. This will result in profit maximization through increased productivity.

5. Leads to stability of work force

Stability of workforce is very important from the point of view of reputation and goodwill of a
concern. The employees can remain loyal to the enterprise only when they have a feeling of
participation in the management. The skills and efficiency of employees will always be of
advantage to employees as well as employees. This will lead to a good public image in the
market which will attract competent and qualified people into a concern. As it is said, “Old is
gold” which suffices with the role of motivation here, the older the people, more the experience
and their adjustment into a concern which can be of benefit to the enterprise.

The process has to be continued throughout.

We can summarize by saying that motivation is important both to an individual and a business.

1. Motivation will help him achieve his personal goals.
