ABSTRACT
This research paper gives an overview about the relation of organizational behaviour with
employee’s productivity and also about the factors which play a key role in gearing up the
productivity of employees at any workplace.
Productivity and efficiency are both directly related to the behaviour and behaviour of people
working in a company. In their research, Kim et al., (2020) examined organizational behaviours
from an environmental perspective. Specifically, they looked at the environmental
attitudes/behaviours of employees within an organization that were analysed for the purposes
of the study. It has been studied in the context of workplace. Green corporate citizenship
behaviours are influenced by the organization’s environmental policies, employees’
environmental views/behaviours, transformational leadership, and environmental education.

INTRODUCTION
The organizational behaviour itself plays a vital role in setting up any sector’s management, it
plays a crucial role in improving the productivity of employees. Therefore, by studying the
organizational behaviour it will help any company to grow itself in a swift and continuous
manner.
While there are many factors that affect employee productivity, such as job satisfaction,
engagement, physical health and well-being, morale and motivation are two of the most
important. Here in this research paper, we are going to cover the maximum factors that
increases employee’s productivity.

LITERATURE REVIEW
[1] According to Dr. Aram Hanna Massoudi, Employee’s attitude at the workplace is affected
by factors like interpersonal relations, emotional factors, job assignment, overtime duty and
extended work. The emotional factor is one of the leading factor that affect the employees’
attitude with a mean of 4,76. Interpersonal relations is regarded second with mean of 4,32.
Since interpersonal relations at workplace does not serve a critical role in development and
maintenance of trust and positive feelings among employees in the organization. Furniture and
furnishing are one of the leading physical aspects – comfort level - that influence the
employee’s performance at the workplace with mean value of 3,42. Majority of employees
ensures in bank that good condition and proper furnishing should be maintained in order to
make them feel sophisticated while they work.
[3] According to Department of Sociology, Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil, Kano, Nigeria, the
organization should make provision for training and developing training their staff on line with
today’s management commitment concept, in order to improve employee on work skill. The
communication network of the organization must be adequate in order to ensure that vital
information get to all employee at the right time so as to improve the company productivity
and performance. Nigeria manufacturing companies should lay more emphases on the
provision of social responsibility to its workers, owners, society and other stakeholders. Finally,
4|Pag e
success or failure of any organization depends on its workforce. The employees who strive hard
to make the organization achieve its pre-selected goals and objectives should be rewarded
effectively. Adequate motivation and remuneration boost the employee moral to work harder
towards achieving or accomplishing challenging task
[4] According to Ardita Prendi, employees feel satisfied and motivated when they receive extra
bonuses, when they are promoted in their role and responsibilities, and when they feel
appreciated by others and especially by their supervisors. These findings are in line with the
work conducted by David et al (2004), who agreed that assigning new roles and responsibilities
to people lead them to be motivated to work harder. The finding that pays raise constitutes an
important factor of motivation for the Albanian employees is also supported by the literature
showing that salary is an indicator of employees’ satisfaction and performance and hence,
business productivity
[6] According to Vinay Chaitanya Ganta, the link between employee motivation and
performance seems to be quite obvious. That’s because every time when we deem a task to be
important and valuable to us, we act with a high level of dedication and enthusiasm to its
completion. However, the relationship between these two things is in fact a lot more complex.
With that in mind, managers need to find creative ways in which to consistently keep their
employees motivated as much as possible. Motivation is very important for every company to
improve the employee performance and productivity of the organization.
[7] According to Sonny Hersona, the leadership function has the most dominant influence on
employees’ performance. Leadership function has a positive impact and greatly affects the
employees’ performance in the Department of Manpower and Transmigration. Motivation has
5|Pag e
a positive effect on the employees’ performance in the Department of Manpower and
Transmigration. Great work motivation gives an important role in employees ‘performance. It
is seen from the aspect of achievement motivation and affiliation. The employees will feel
satisfied if the facilities and infrastructure that support the work can be fulfilled. In addition, a
positive social environment will also affect the achievement in work. Furthermore, work
discipline has the weakest effect on the employees’ performance in the Department of
Manpower and Transmigration
[8] According to M. Kotteeswari, the employer can control certain stress factors which affect
the employees in performing their job. The employees also can try to overcome their stress
through some exercises, yoga and meditation. The employers can extend their support to the
employees to get rid of the job stress.
[9] According to Akanbi, Paul Ayobam, the importance of reward in the day-to-day
performance of workers‟ duties cannot be over emphasized, especially when it comes to being
rewarded for a job done. It is a well-known fact that human performance of any sort is improved
by increase in motivation. Going by the findings of this study, it can be easily inferred that
workers reward package matters a lot and should be a concern of both the employers and
employees.
[10] According to Dr. Cross Ogohi Daniel, Researchers and academicians can utilize these
study findings to test their hypothesis or to enhance further research, particularly on finding
out cost effectiveness of different incentives and rewards used by organizations to increase
employee productivity. The researcher should consider the current economic crisis with an aim
to reduce costs and to balance between short term and long-term productivity outcomes. The
researcher should come up with recommendations to be used by the management to reassess
the combination of financial and nonfinancial incentives that can serve their organizations best
through economic crisis It is very important to extent this research and discover new facts
because motivational incentives are very basic element of any job (the desire to receive
something beneficial in exchange of one’s effort). This research should be extended to other
6|Pag e
manufacturing organizations. Incentives are there, although working hours are also long. So,
under the Factories Act, 1934 no adult employee, defined as a worker who has completed his
or her 18th year of age, can be required or permitted to work in any establishment in excess of
nine hours a day and 48 hours a week. Therefore, bank employee’s’ working hours should be
according to this act.

MAIN TEXT
Employees are the lifeblood of the organization, so it is essential that they remain productive.
However, simply requesting them to work more hours or engaging in managerial
micromanaging will have a detrimental effect on their well-being. Putting productivity first
will lead to a toxic work atmosphere where employees become exhausted, overwhelmed and
discouraged. Furthermore, if employees are not satisfied, customers will not be either.
And if the employees will be happy from the organization the company can see a positive uplift
in the graphs, therefore employee’s satisfaction, behaviour, needs etc are directly proportional
to the company’s smooth and speedy growth.
1. WORK ENVIRONMENT
2.EMPLOYEE WELLNESS
Employee wellness is a term that has become increasingly popular in recent years. It refers to
the health and well-being of your employees. You want to make sure that your employees have
everything they need when they are not feeling their best. This shows that you care about them
and also helps to prevent minor issues from turning into major ones. By creating a wellness
program for your employees, providing healthy food options in the office cafeteria and
encouraging your employees to prioritize their well-being, you can create a healthier and
happier employee. This could have a huge impact on employee productivity levels. You can
also encourage your employees to lead a healthy lifestyle by providing them with access to
9|Pag e
physical activity that encourages them to get up and move around. For example, suggesting a
“walk to work” day or providing more storage space for office equipment.
3.LEADERSHIP
Managing your employees can have a significant impact on their productivity. From the
manner in which management interacts with the team, to the manner in which performance is
evaluated, feedback is given, expectations are expressed, objectives are set, tasks are
prioritized, and so on, it all begins at the top. Employees have a high expectation of
management, from the manager to the Director-General, to set a high standard of care for the
people they work with. Developing training programs for managerial personnel can help them
to comprehend the effect their actions have on their team, as well as provide them with the
opportunity to review their management practices to make sure they are in line with your
company's culture.
4.COMPANY CULTURE
A recent Small Business Pulse survey revealed that 85% of entrepreneurs agree that company
culture contributes to improved productivity. Company culture refers to how employees
experience a connection between their work and the organization they are employed by. While
it is important for employees to have a strong sense of the mission and values of the company,
it is also important for them to be able to see these values being implemented in their work
environment. A strong and healthy company culture that is in line with the company's core
values will stimulate motivation and foster employee loyalty. Employees will be more likely
to bring their best self to every task they undertake if they can observe the values they support
being implemented in their workplace.
5.TECHNOLOGY
It has always been said that technology increases productivity, however, in the current remote
work environment, this is even more the case. Without the right technology, employees will be
confined to mundane, manual tasks, leaving them with little time to engage in more complex
work. If productivity in your organization is declining, consider re-evaluating your workforce's
technological needs and implementing solutions that are tailored to your employees' needs. For
instance, do you currently use fifteen applications that do not communicate with one another?
Do you still rely on the same software system from ten years ago? If the answer is yes, it is
10 | P a g e
time to make some changes. Today's cloud-based business applications can be tailored to the
specific job role and data transmission between them is seamless and secure. Many of these
applications also enable employees to work remotely, provided they have access to the internet
and an internet capable device.
It would be a fallacy to assume that training is only for managers. Providing training and
development opportunities for employees is also beneficial for productivity. When employees
are not adequately trained, they will spend more time attempting to determine how to carry out
a task rather than doing it. This can lead to frustration and self-doubt. Generally, employees
want to be successful in their jobs. If they are not, it is important to first assess if there is
something more you can do as an employer to assist them. A well-structured training and
development program is a great place to begin. This will enable employees to develop their
confidence, achieve greater success, and ultimately improve customer satisfaction.
Additionally, many employees value career advancement opportunities within an organization,
so training that is focused on this can also enhance engagement and productivity.
7. EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
If you want your employees to be more productive, you need to make sure they're engaged.
When employees feel valued and appreciated, they're more likely to be confident in their work
and more interested in growing within the company. When employees have a good relationship
with you, they'll have a better understanding of what you're trying to achieve and how to make
their work more effective. Employee engagement is the key to building that relationship. To
keep employees engaged, you need to give them the space to try new things, give them
recognition for their hard work, give them feedback to help them grow, and give them the right
tools and training to help them succeed. See our infographic for all the info you need!
8. COMMUNICATION:
11 | P a g e
communication skills has both short-term and long-term advantages for your organization. As
a leader, an effective communicator motivates your team to do more with better results and less
misunderstanding. And who doesn't want less misunderstanding? All of these things contribute
to the company's success and your success as a leader.
9.MOTIVATION
Motivation is one of the most important factors in employee success. Employee satisfaction
leads to higher performance, which in turn leads to higher customer satisfaction. Employees
who are motivated are better able to adapt to change, collaborate better, are more willing to do
more for a project or customer or co-workers, and keep a positive work environment.
Additionally, having a team of motivated employees can help reduce turnover and employee
absenteeism. Sometimes managers don’t realize how important motivation is in leading well
and ensuring the future success of the organization. Or they think extrinsic motivation, such as
compensation, is enough to drive team members to perform well on a regular basis. Intrinsic
motivation is more important than extrinsic motivation because employees who are
intrinsically motivated stay with the organization longer and are more productive. Employees
who are intrinsically motivated will stay because they love what they do and won’t leave
because of a pay check.
The Impact of Unresolved Conflicts on Productivity and Morality the Conflict Research
Consortium (CRC) found that organizations with well-functioning conflict resolution systems
experienced lower rates of absenteeism and turnover, as well as improved productivity and
improved morale. All in all, these statistics demonstrate the importance of organizational
conduct in the workplace, as well as the potential advantages of understanding and addressing
the factors that shape employee behaviour. Understanding and addressing these factors can help
organizations create more productive and successful workplaces.
11.DECISION MAKING
Decision-making in the workplace facilitates the optimization of processes. It allows for the
identification of issues, the assessment of alternatives, and the selection of the most effective
course of action to address the problem. This can result in a decrease in time, a decrease in
expenses, and an increase in efficiency, which can be advantageous to both the team and the
organization.
12 | P a g e
12. DIVERSITY
The importance of multi-culturalism has grown in recent years and has undoubtedly become a
key factor in employee engagement. Diversity in the workplace is a key factor in enhancing
employee productivity and contributing to the success of a company. By recruiting
representatives with unique characteristics, religions, cultures, and customs, employees can
feel more at home in their workplace.
Additionally, diversity provides employees with the opportunity to gain insight into the
perspectives of others, which is essential for fostering strong team dynamics. It is important to
ensure that all employees are given equal opportunities, regardless of their cultural, religious,
ethnic, gender, or sexual identity, as this will have a positive impact on their satisfaction and
productivity. Furthermore, with such a diverse pool of talent within the company, employees
will have access to a broader range of skills, leading to a significant increase in profits.
Furthermore, having diverse team members can have a significant impact on productivity in
remote teams. Finally, providing employees with a chance to take a break is essential in order
to combat low productivity. A healthy and happy employee is likely to have the physical and
mental resources necessary to achieve desired outcomes.
Time management is the practice of scheduling and managing your time in a way that allows
you to work smarter, rather than harder. With good time management, you can plan your time
in between your most important tasks. What is effective time management? It’s the practice of
using your time to schedule your days in such a way that you can work with less effort and
make the most of your time. By controlling your time, you can achieve more and better results
in less time, without any stress. It improves performance and productivity. It increases
employee efficiency, helps you meet deadlines, and produces better quality work. Time
management helps companies to prioritize all work tasks and reach their goals faster. An
effective time management plan can open up new opportunities and help your company grow
sustainably.

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
The productivity of your employees is a critical factor in the success of your business. Your
employees are the lifeblood of your organization, so it is logical to invest time and resources
in various elements that enhance the productivity of your employees. The above-mentioned
factors are the most important factors which are responsible for employee’s productivity in any
organizational sector.
The foregoing data demonstrates the significance of organizational conduct in the workplace
and the potential advantages of recognizing and addressing the elements that shape employee
behaviour. By recognizing and addressing these elements, organizations can foster a more
productive and prosperous work environment.
