INTRODUCTION
The Industrial Revolution is the period from approximately 1760 when new
technologies resulted in the adoption of new manufacturing techniques,
including increased mechanization.
Works of scholars like Elton Mayo, Chester Barnard, Henri Fayol, Mary
Parker Follett, Frederick Herzberg, Abraham Mas low, David Mc Cellan and
Victor Vroom contributed to the growth of Organisational Behaviour as a
discipline.

ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR
DEFINATION
“Organizational behavior is directly concerned with the
understanding, prediction, and control of human behavior in
organizations.” — Fred Luthans.
Organizational behavior is the study of both group and individual
performance and activity within an organization.
This area of study examines human behavior in a work environment
and determines its impact on job structure, performance,
communication, motivation, leadership, etc.
It is the systematic study and application of knowledge about how
individuals and groups act within the organizations where they work.
OB draws from other disciplines to create a unique field.
For example, when we review topics such as personality and
motivation, we will again review studies from the field of psychology.
The topic of team processes relies heavily on the field of sociology.
When we study power and influence in organizations, we borrow
heavily from political sciences.
Even medical science contributes to the field of Organizational
Behavior, particularly in the study of stress and its effects on
individuals.

OB matters at three critical levels. It matters because it is all about things
you care about. OB can help you become a more engaged organizational
member. Getting along with others, getting a great job, lowering your
stress level, making more effective decisions, and working effectively
within a team…
These are all great things, and OB addresses them! It matters because
employers care about OB. A recent survey by the National Association of
Colleges and Employers (NACE) asked employers which skills are the
most important for them when evaluating job candidates, and OB topics
topped the list.NACE 2007 Job Outlook Survey. Retrieved July 26, 2008,

4 APPROACHES OF ORGANIZATIONAL
BEHAVIOUR
13
SINGHANIA UNIVERSITY RAJASTHAN
Organizational behavior approaches are a result of the research done by
experts in this field.
These experts studied and attempted to quantify research done about the
actions and reactions of employees, with regard to their work
environments.
Research Methodology of
Organizational Behavior
The understanding and effective application of organizational behavior
depend on a rigorous research methodology.
14
SINGHANIA UNIVERSITY RAJASTHAN
The search for the truth of why people behave the way they do is a very
delicate and complicated process.
In fact, the problems are so great that many scholars, Chiefly from the
physical and engineering sciences, argue that there can be no precise
science of behavior.
ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR
OF 4 MAJOR MODELS
There are four major models or frameworks that organizations operate out of-
1. Autocratic,
15
SINGHANIA UNIVERSITY RAJASTHAN
2. Custodial,
3. Supportive, and
4. Collegial.
1. Autocratic:
The basis of this model is power with a managerial orientation of authority. The
employees in turn are oriented towards obedience and dependence on the boss.
The employee need that is met is subsistence. The performance result is
minimal.
2. Custodial:
The basis of this model is economic resources with a managerial orientation of
money. The employees in turn are oriented towards security and benefits and
dependence on the organization. The employee need that is met is security. The
performance result is passive cooperation.
3. Supportive:
The basis of this model is leadership with a managerial orientation of support.
The employees in turn are oriented towards job performance and participation.
The employee need that is met is status and recognition. The performance result
is awakened drives.
4. Collegial:
The basis of this model is partnership with a managerial orientation of
teamwork. The employees in turn are oriented towards responsible behavior and
self-discipline. The employee need that is met is self-actualization. The
performance result is moderate enthusiasm.

In any organisation the area of behavioural and interactive aspects are much
concerned with human behaviours. It is a dynamic and multidisciplinary field
that seeks knowledge of behaviour in organisational structure by properly
studying individual, group and organisational processes.
17
SINGHANIA UNIVERSITY RAJASTHAN
As such, the key elements of organisational behaviour are
stated here:
Element # 1. People:
People makes the interactive and behavioural platform in any
organisation and people consists in the form of individuals and group.
The role and behaviour of people identifies, recognise and develop the
interactive relations towards behavioural attitudes in society.
18
SINGHANIA UNIVERSITY RAJASTHAN
Organisational behaviour is based mainly on two main principles:
1. Nature of the people, and
2. Nature of the organisation.
This is a reaction in an individual due to some needs and wants, which he has to
satisfy. These may be financial or non-financial. This caused behaviour has to
be regulated by proper motivation. Hence the management and OB have to
19
SINGHANIA UNIVERSITY RAJASTHAN
work together to understand the exact nature of the need of an individual to be
satisfied and the desired incentive to be provided to the individual so as to help
satisfy his needs.
(iv) Human Dignity:
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. Related approach of OB and
management will be of great help in such a situation.
2. Nature of Organisation:
Nature of organisation has two aspects:
(i) Social system.
(ii) Mutual interests.
(i) Social System:
Organisational activities are controlled by social and psychological norms.
People have psychological needs and motives, at the same time, they are bound
to shoulder social responsibility, according to their role in the organisation.
The behaviour of people in an organisation is normally governed by the group
and by individual’s desire. One can find the above two types of norms
operating. Due to proper interaction of these norms, organisational activities
become cordial and efficient.
(ii) Mutual Interests:
These always bring cooperation and confidence among people. It is the source
of sound organisational behaviour. People and organisation are interdependent
like OB and management. People need organisation for livelihood on the other
hand, the organisation needs people for achieving its goals. So the relation
between OB and management can bring all round progress, if both have amiable
relationship between them.
Organisational Behaviour – Challenges
Faced by Organizational Behavior:
Globalization, Management of Workforce
20
SINGHANIA UNIVERSITY RAJASTHAN
Diversity, Incorporation of Innovation and
a Few Others
Following points discuss these issues briefly:
1. Globalization:
Implies that no organization can work effectively in isolation and has to comply
with the global factors that have an impact on it. Globalization poses numerous
challenges in front of an organization. At the individual level, an employee may
require to work on foreign assignments or collaborate with people from
different cultures.
2. Management of Workforce Diversity:
Refers to the need of numerous conflict resolution techniques and problem-
solving approaches to deal with diverse workforce. It is difficult to manage the
employees belonging to different cultural backgrounds, due to differences in
their values, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. A proper management of
workforce diversity can have numerous positive results, such as the availability
of fresh ideas and talents.
3. Improvement in Quality and Productivity:
Refers to matching the desired levels of quality and productivity with the ever-
changing demands. Management guru Tom Peter says, “Almost all quality
improvement comes via simplification of design, manufacturing, layout,
processes, and procedures.” Now-a-days, a number of programs, such as
process reengineering and quality management are being implemented to bring
improvement in productivity.
4. Improvement in People Skills:
Implies that it is the necessity of time to improve and upgrade the skills of
employees from time to time. The change in business, political, and
technological environment makes it important to train and develop the
employees according to new trends. The technical and interpersonal skills of
employees need constant improvement.

CONCLUSION
22
SINGHANIA UNIVERSITY RAJASTHAN
Organizational Behavior is the study and application of knowledge
about how people, individuals, and groups act in organizations. It
does this by taking a system approach.
SUMMARY
23
SINGHANIA UNIVERSITY RAJASTHAN
To work on a specific project, we make a group of 4 members: Rohit, Raj, Sid,
and Rahul. It is not possible for any one of them to complete the project
individually as it may be time consuming as well as not all the members as
individuals have mastered the skills required to complete the project. This
indicates the need to come together as a group.
Moving ahead, let us specify their roles. Rohit is the initiator, as he proposes
the idea of the project, Raj collects all the information and resources required
for the project and becomes the informer, Sid is the clarifier as he interprets the
data and saves refined information, and Rahul is the summarizer as he
concludes the result of the project that is what do we achieve by the end of our
project. These are the task-oriented roles.
When a group of people come together and present their ideas there is a fair
chance of collision. Rohit tries to resolve all the disagreements and disputes in
the first place and acts as a harmonizer, Sid makes sure that everybody is
giving their full support and effort in the project and acts as a gatekeeper, Raj is
the one encouraging everyone and motivating them when they fail to try harder
to complete the project and is the encourager, while Rahul tests the project at
each stage and examines the major decision to be made and is the consensus
tester. These are the relationship-oriented roles of each member.
Individually, each of them have different tasks to fulfill. Rohit tries to be the
group leader and impose his ideas on others and we consider him as the
dominator, Rahul is always up with excuses to avoid the task given to him and
acts as avoider, Raj is the one who opposes everything but is never up with
some new idea and becomes the blocker, while Sid takes part in every group
activity in a non-productive way and becomes the cavalier.
