ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR …
DEFINITION
Organizational behavior is the study of how
individuals and groups interact within an
organization and how these interactions affect
an organization's performance toward its goal
or goals.

The field examines the impact of various

factors on behavior within an organization.
DEFINITION IN SPORTS

Organizational behavior is the study of how

individuals interact within groups and organizations.
In sports, this includes examining how players,
coaches, and staff members work together to achieve
their goals. Organizational behavior is essential in
sports because it can impact team performance in
many ways.

For example, if there is poor communication among

team members, it can lead to misunderstandings and
mistakes on the field. On the other hand, if there is
strong leadership and a positive team culture, it can
lead to increased motivation and better performance.
Types of Organizational Behaviour
The four elements of organizational
behavior are People, Structure,
Technology, and External
Environment.

By understanding how these

elements interact with one another,
improvements can be made.
Examples Of Organizational Behavior In The Workplace
Multiple factors affect organizational behavior. And the company managers can use these
factors to evaluate the work culture better. Let’s discuss them one by one.

Personality: Personality is one example of organizational behavior. The best way to

determine if a candidate is a good fit for an organization is to understand their personality.

Leadership: Leadership can be either focused, goal-oriented, broad, or centralized. Or it

can simply be the result of a position of authority.

Power, authority, and politics: Political science, power, and authority work
interdependently in a workspace. And to run a successful business, one has to use these
elements perfectly depending on organizational rules and ethical guidelines.
People
The essential element of OB is people. Here people mean an employee that works for that organization. So, you
must take care of how well the people are treated and how well you listen to them. As the backbone of an
organization, they help to achieve the organization’s goals by doing the work systematically. So, if there are any
changes in their behavior, a leader needs to know the reason behind that.

Structure
The employee that works individually or in groups creates the whole structure. It is the layout of the organization.
The roles and responsibilities of people in a structure should be clearly described. If you do so, there will not be any
confusion regarding their duties which results in greater efficiency.

Technology
People and structures are not enough for an organization. When you provide the needed technology, people can
perform the task effectively. If you failed to provide technology, it would be difficult for people to complete their
responsibilities. It also helps to reduce production costs. Depending on the work needed to complete, you can use
technology.

Environment
The last one is “Business Environment.” For an organization to run successfully, external factors also matter the
most. Business leaders must study both the internal environment (organizational culture) and the external
environment (economic, social, political, and cultural) factors. Don’t hesitate to make any changes when you find
them necessary.
Type 1: Autocratic
Autocratic organizational behavior is characterized by
a top-down approach where decisions are made by a
single person or a small group of people. This type of
behavior can be efficient in certain situations, but it
can also lead to low employee morale and creativity.

The main advantage of autocratic behavior is that it

allows for quick decision-making and implementation.
Type 2: Democratic
Democratic organizational behavior is characterized
by a participatory approach where decisions are made
through consensus-building and collaboration. This
type of behavior can lead to higher employee morale,
creativity, and innovation.

The main advantage of democratic behavior is that it

allows for diverse perspectives and ideas to be
considered before making a decision.
Type 3: Laissez-faire
Laissez-faire organizational behavior is characterized
by a hands-off approach where employees are given a
lot of autonomy and freedom to make decisions. This
type of behavior can lead to high employee
satisfaction and creativity, but it can also result in lack
of direction and accountability.

The main advantage of laissez-faire behavior is that it

allows for employees to take ownership of their work
and feel empowered.
Type 4: Bureaucratic
Bureaucratic organizational behavior is characterized
by strict rules, policies, and procedures that dictate
how work is done. This type of behavior can be
efficient in certain situations, but it can also lead to
rigidity and resistance to change.

The main advantage of bureaucratic behavior is that it

provides clear guidelines and expectations for
employees to follow.
Positive Sporting Behavior

Positive sporting behavior refers to actions and

attitudes that promote fair play, respect for
opponents, and good sportsmanship. This includes
things like congratulating opponents after a game,
following the rules, and playing with integrity.

By embracing positive sporting behavior, athletes can

create a positive and enjoyable sports culture for
everyone involved.
Negative Sporting Behavior

Negative sporting behavior refers to actions and

attitudes that are detrimental to sportsmanship
and fair play. This includes things like trash-
talking, cheating, and intentionally injuring
opponents.

Negative sporting behavior not only ruins the

experience for other athletes and fans, but it
also goes against the spirit of sportsmanship.
Unsportsmanlike Conduct

Unsportsmanlike conduct refers to actions that go

beyond negative sporting behavior and are specifically
prohibited by the rules of the game. This includes
things like taunting, excessive celebrations, and
physical altercations.

Unsportsmanlike conduct not only harms the

opposing players but also disrupts the game and can
result in penalties or even disqualification.
Fairplay

Fair play refers to the idea that all athletes should

have an equal opportunity to succeed and that
success should be determined by skill and effort
rather than external factors like cheating or unfair
advantages.

Fair play is essential to promoting positive sporting

behavior and creating a level playing field for all
athletes.
Maximizes Performance
Organization plays a crucial role in maximizing
performance in sports. When athletes have a clear
understanding of their roles and responsibilities, they
can focus on executing their tasks to the best of their
abilities. This leads to better overall team
performance.

For example, in basketball, having a well-organized

offensive strategy can lead to more efficient scoring
opportunities and ultimately, more points on the
board. Similarly, in track and field, organizing training
schedules and workout routines can help athletes
reach peak physical condition for competitions.
Reduces Errors
Organization can also help reduce errors in sports.
When everyone on a team knows their role and what
is expected of them, miscommunications and
mistakes are less likely to occur. This can be especially
important in high-pressure situations where split-
second decisions can make all the difference.

For instance, in soccer, having a well-organized

defensive strategy can prevent opponents from
scoring goals. Similarly, in baseball, organizing signals
between pitchers and catchers can help prevent wild
pitches and passed balls.
Improves Communication
Organization can also improve communication
in sports. When everyone is on the same page
and knows what is expected of them,
communication becomes more efficient and
effective. This can lead to better teamwork and
ultimately, better performance.

For example, in volleyball, organizing signals

between players can help ensure that everyone
is ready for the next play. Similarly, in football,
organizing plays and formations can help
quarterbacks communicate effectively with
their teammates.
In conclusion, sporting behavior plays a crucial role in
creating a positive and enjoyable sports culture. By
embracing positive sporting behavior and avoiding
negative and unsportsmanlike conduct, athletes can
promote fair play and good sportsmanship.

Remember, it's not just about winning or losing, it's

about how you play the game. So let's work together
to create a sports culture that values respect, fairness,
and integrity. Whether we're playing or watching, let's
embrace positive sporting behavior and make the
most of every opportunity to compete and have fun.
