Q. 1 Identify several concepts and characteristics from the field of organizational
behavior that this case illustrates;

Concepts:
Tony Stark had just finished his first week at Reece Enterprises and decided to drive
upstate to a small lakefront lodge for some fishing and relaxation. Tony had worked for
the previous ten years for the O’Grady Company, but O’Grady had been through some
hard times of late and had recently shut down severel of its operating groups, including
Tony’s, to cut costs. Fortunately, Tony’s experience and recommendations had made
finding another position fairly easy. As he drove the interstate, he reflected on the past
ten years and the apparent situation at Reece.
characteristics from the field of organizational :
Personal goals and expectation
Decentralization:
Comparable:
Experience and recommendations
Self- dependent
Effectiveness
Consciousness
Good worker
Efficiency
Working ability with other people

Q. 2 What advice can you give? Tony how would this advice be supported or tempered by
behavioral concepts and processes?

My advice for tony that is………….

Now Tony is employing Reece Enterprise which is more larger company than Grady company.
Reece and Grady were about as different. Top managers at Reece apparently didn’t worry too
much about who did a good job and who didn’t. Tony also had had some problems fitting in.
His peers treated him with polite indifference. He sensed that a couple of them resented
that he, an outsider, had been brought right in at their level after they had had to work
themselves up the ladder. On Tuesday he had asked two colleagues about playing golf.
They had politely declined, saying that they did not play often. But later in the week, he
had overheard them making arrangements to play that very Saturday. They seemed to
promote and reward people based on how long they had been there and how well they played the
never ending political games. So Tony must be care and conscious about his duty and must be
sincere about the managers.

Q.3 Is it possible to find an ideal place to work? Explain.

Yes, it is possible to find an ideal place to work. Tony had also liked the company itself. The
corporate culture was easygoing. Communication was open. It seemed that everyone knew what
was going on all times, and if you didn’t know about and something, it was easy to find out .
example: After about $40,000 a year (in the U. S.), there is no relationship between amount of
pay and job satisfaction. Money may bring happiness, but not necessarily job satisfaction.
Negative people are usually not satisfied with their jobs.Those with positive core self-evaluation
are more satisfied with their jobs.
