Organizational Behaviour: Personal Summary Assignment
1) Managing demographic and Cultural diversity
Decision-making creativity is higher: People in a diverse work team will have a variety of viewpoints and perspectives. When making decisions, members of these teams are more likely to consider a larger range of choices and to think beyond the box. Having a diverse staff may have a direct influence on a company's bottom line by enhancing decision-making inventiveness. Better customer understanding and service: Businesses with a diverse workforce may be able to develop products or services that appeal to a wider range of customers. Customers may feel more at ease when interacting with a company that knows their needs, and companies with a diverse workforce may better understand the demands of specific groups and customers. Employee satisfaction: When employees believe they are treated properly, they are more satisfied, which leads to decreased turnover. Employees who believe they are being discriminated against are less likely to stay with the organization, are dissatisfied with their positions, and are more stressed at work
2) The value of positive nonverbal communication practices.
Both managers and their teams must be able to interpret and use body language in order to have successful interactions at work. When a manager communicates good nonverbal cues with employees, for example, employee morale and job performance can both improve. The following are some examples of positive nonverbal communication techniques: Strong eye contact: This is your major tool for building nonverbal connections with others, as eye contact conveys attention, participation, and emotions. People who communicate while maintaining eye contact are often regarded as trustworthy. Appropriate facial expressions: Maintaining good eye contact while listening can be demonstrated by maintaining a tiny smile, nodding periodically, and maintaining appropriate facial expressions. A confident handshake: Because the handshake is the only appropriate form of touch in business, having a good one is essential. Hand gestures with a purpose: Hand gestures provide meaning to the spoken word. Finger pointing, fidgeting, tapping, messing with hair, wringing hands, and twisting a ring are all distracting habits to avoid. Commanding posture and presence: This is mirrored in how a person sits and stands, since it generates a dynamic presence and a leadership mentality. 3) Motivating others positively Employees can use motivation skills to increase their chances of getting positive results when interfacing with customers, subordinates, upper management, suppliers, donors, team members, funding sources and supervisors. For managers, who must inspire a whole team, the ability to motivate is usually a requirement. Some of the benefits of positively motivating employees are- Increased productivity: It should come as no surprise that employing employee incentive tactics encourages workers to perform more productively, which leads to higher revenue outcomes. However, few people realise that a productive manner of working also has a good impact on employee experience because it fosters increased job satisfaction. More innovation: Providing incentives and other perks to employees fosters an innovative culture. Employees like to challenge themselves when they feel respected and encouraged by their employer. As a result, the value of motivation in the workplace should never be underestimated, as it promotes progress. Furthermore, managers who understand what benefits inspire their workers often get the best results. Lower absenteeism: Employers who recognise the role of motivation in management believe that leaders who are helpful rather than critical get the best out of their staff. When a manager is concerned about his or her employees' workload and well-being, absenteeism is reduced since employees are less worried and overburdened.
