Abstract: Organization is composed of variety of human behavior inside to reach common goals. Unity of behavior will form a
model of behavior that had be determined the performance of the organization. Organizational behavior model is helpful to know
more clearly and what is done by the organization. There are five (5) models of organizational behavior. There are autocracy model,
custodial, supportive, colegial and system model. Every model have three impact elements, based on management orientation,
employee side with three sub elements, and performance results. Understanding of organizational behavior model, it is important to
put the model appropriate behavior for an organization. Speech Writing Unit is an organizational line that often changed the leader.
Speech Writing Unit is an organizational line that often changed the leader. Basically this study is an attempt to look at the right
behavior model for an organization. For understanding which one is more suitable to implemented, every leader in speech writing
unit must categorized in the which model from every sub elements aspect. The result is no models that permanently implemented by
a leader. However, every leader always change their organizational behavior model, according to the situation that him faced.
1. Introduction
Organizational behavior is a rather general term that indicates the attitude and behavior of individuals
and groups within the organization, with respect to the systematic study of the attitudes and behavior, both
personal and interpersonal concerns in the context of the organization (Owens: 1987). Organizational behavior
is the study and application of knowledge about how people act within the organizations. The organization
behavior has a goal of help the managers make new paradigm transition. Some of the new paradigm
characteristics include the coverage of second-generation information technology and total quality management
such as empowerment, reengineering and benchmarking, and learning organization for managing the diversity
Based on both opinions, organization behavior is important aspect that influence individual role on
organization. Organization behavior is a field of study that investigates the impact that individual, groups and
structure have on behavior within organizations for the purpose of applying such knowledge to improve
organizational effectiveness (Robbins: 2001). Human behavior is a function of the interaction between the
individual and his environment, the interaction means that an individual with his environment affect each other
and can determine the behavior of both. The intended environment can be either a group or organization.
The organization is an entity consisting of a group of people / individual. The organization also consists
of various human behaviors in it. So the behavior of individuals in the organization will impact on organizational
effectiveness. Organizational behavior becomes an important study to develop a more effective organizational
knowledge. The behavior of organizations formed by different characters in each individual in the organization,
Model is a plan, representations, or descriptions that describe an object, system, or a concept, which is
often the simplification or idealization. The shape can be either physical models (mock-ups, prototype), the
model image (drawings, computer images), or mathematical formula. Model is a plan, representations, or
descriptions that describe an object, system, or concept, which is often in the form of simplification or
idealization. This may be as a physical model (mock-ups, prototypes), the model image (image, computer
Organizational behavior model is management mechanisms of an organization that shows the skeleton
and the arrangement of the embodiment of a fixed pattern in the relationship between functions, parts or
positions and behavior of those who showed the position, assignment of authority and responsibility are
difference in an organization. Several organizational models often adopted today are: 1) Autocratic Model, 2)
Models of organizational behavior helps us to see more clearly and what is done by the organization
(Falleta: 2005) - This model of organization among others be used for: 1) Help improve our understanding of
organizational behavior; 2) Categorize / manage data about the organization; 3) Help interpret data about the
organization.
Differences organization depends on the quality of behaviors that develop within the organization. The
model used by leaders / managers begin with certain assumptions about people's interpreter organizational
activities. Therefore, to get the exact model for an organization, it is necessary to understand each model of
organizational behavior that existing today. Examining how each concept model of organizational behavior is
very important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each model are implemented.
Local governments in the context of the Government of Central Java province in Indonesia has the
concept of reform of organizational structure changes every two years, even less than before, so leaders often
changed. Similarly, in the field of Organizational Unit Writing often welcome a change of leadership. This study
was conducted to describe the model of organizational behavior every leader who had been a pemipin on
Speech Writing unit in Central Java government. Since 2006 until 2015 has been a change of leader five times,
Most studies only determine the behavior of organizational or personal behavior in organizations, such
as the behavior of the procurement process not being transparent (Ahmad et all: 2014), or deviant behavior on
the release of moral (Ntayi et all: 2010) or the impact of organizational culture on organizational performance
(Shahzad et all: 2012). Everything never discusses organizational behavior model that is implemented in an
organization. Organizational behavior model created by the cooperation between the leader and staff, and this
model is highly supportive of the organization to be successful. Models of organizational behavior shown by the
leader can be seen the impact, so it can be understood through models of what is actually appropriate to be
applied in the unit. This can be the answer to the big question about the exact model of organizational behavior
2. Literature Review
Studying organizational behavior must be understood the theoretical models of organization behavior.
There were autocracy model, custodial model, supportive model, collegial model and system model. They are
differently one of each other and have each characteristic. However, from describing the five models, then we
will be showed a red line of the differences that can be reference to know the suitable model for the
Autocracy model based on the opinion of the leadership style autocratic, "the source of power is the
manager and all interactions in the organization get through to the manager, and the employer controls the
decision-making process, defining policies and methods to Achieve objectives, work activities, relationships and
Also decides compensations or deserts "(Nortilli: 2014). In the autocratic model, the leader / manager has the
power to govern his sub ordinates with specific tasks. Management believes that these leaders are very aware
of what is best for organizational, therefore, the workers must obey orders. Psychologically, such an attitude will
In an autocratic environment, management is formal nuanced orientation that has a high authority.
Leader is considered as the boss, so the role of workers is determined from how its performance in a given task.
Management has the task of thinking and workers must be work by the command. This is like a theory X that
popularized by Douglas McGregor (1967) as conventional management theory. In this model we can find a high
role by the power. Autocratic model was run in the 18th century in many large projects, such as the construction
Some important signs in the application of autocratic models are: a) Relying on the power , b)
level of employees depends on the boss, e) Needs of life the employees unmet f) The resulting minimum
performance.
Custodial model usually depends on economic resources (money). For example, managers can
simulate their employees by offering them the facility, and benefits, but in this model employee will not work as a
team (less for share with others) because everyone will depend on itself to benefit more than others. These
models focus on employee satisfaction and better security. With this model, the need for security and employee
benefits fullest. This model moves that employees are highly dependent on the organization, not dependent by
the leadership. As there is an increase in the economic impact in the form of remuneration and wages, all the
workers happy and efforts like there are very powerful reward to motivate workers.
The model is based that feeling psychology custodial workers, industrial relations and economic factors
that must be regulated / managed properly. Psychologically this model keen that worker satisfaction should be
regulated, so that the sense of satisfaction and pleasure in these workers be good motivation. The relationship
between the worker and the organization also improved by establishing stability and some assurance. In
addition, this model is also developing programs for the welfare of subordinates, such as social welfare and
economic factors. This model is like applying the concept of paternalistic (paternal). This model is a replication
of the concept of Theory Y of McGregor (1967). Workers, unions and government / organizations develop
Custodial model of success depends on the fulfillment of economic concepts to subordinates, such as
economic security, pensions, and other benefits. Thus, it actually causes the custodial model of the organization
depends on the workers. Although not always the fulfillment of welfare impact on the performance of the
employees. Example: Garments factory, because the climate in there based on the fulfillment of economic
resources. For those who work hard will obtain guarantees and benefits. Additionally, if an organization goes
Typical characteristics custodial models: a) This model relies on economic resources, b) Managerial
development of employees depends on the attitude of the organization, e) Needs of employees are fulfilled and
Supportive models, relies on the leadership. For example, managers support their employees by
encouraging and supporting them to do a better job, get along with each other and also to develop their skills.
Performance results will encourage increased productivity. First experiment of supportive approach model was
conducted by Mayo and Roethlisberger traditional in Western Electric Company in 1930, as well as with
Linkert's research "employee oriented supervisor" in 1940 - 1950. The principle from this study is that " leaders
and other processes in organization must be able to ensure the possibility of a maximum of all the interactions
and relationships between the organization and the wishes of its members, based on the background, values,
expectations, and experience as carrying capacity and the ability to build and maintain than the Personal values
(Linkert: 1961).
Based on these opinions, a supervisor is experienced as supportive leader if he or she (a) guides the
employees in Achieving objectives, (b) treats them fairly, and (c) appreciates Reviews their work performance
(House and Dessler:1974). They studied the performance of a supervisor of the company, which in this case
could be regarded as a leader / manager which suggests that a supervisor said to be experienced in providing
support (supportive), if he must (a) guiding employees to achieve its objectives, (b) treating employees fairly,
and (c) respecting employee performance. In this case, the supportive stance interpreted as part of an effort to
Supportive models depending on the power of the leader in managing economic resources. Through
leadership, management is providing climate behaviors that help employees to grow and resolve important
organization goals according to their ability. This assumes, employees are not naturally act, passively and can
hamper the organization's needs, but what they do rely on a favorable climate (supportive climate) in the work.
Management orientation is supporting their employees' performance, and supporting to the employees
will obey and maintain its performance. However, employee motivation to do their jobs depends on the situation.
The result, the model is increasing participation and involvement of employees in organization.
The difference with the custodial models is that supportive model is moral judgment put forward to
increase motivation. While in the custodial model measured by satisfaction and emphasize the pleasure / delight
of employees. From several studies, supportive model is able to provide a very high motivation of employees in
supporting, c) Employee orientation to perform tasks and improve performance, d) psychological outcomes of
employees such as the level of participation, e) The employee needs are met along with performance
Collegial model means that employees depend on each other as a team work to perform the task.
Everyone will have the enthusiasm normal, self-discipline and responsible behavior towards their duties.
Collegial model adapts the flexible ability, the intellectual environment of the scientist organization and
professional organizations. In the organization like this, that not programmed activities always require the
effectiveness of team collaboration (teamwork), needs professional labors or the scientists so they can respond
The concept Collegial is a function of collaboration and constructive cooperation which can be seen
from the 5 (five) validity, namely: altruism, consciousness, sense of sportsmanship, courtesy, and acceptance of
audience / civic / community. In his study about college performance, as an independent organization that
determines the character of its own, then the collegial role of the perpetrators, namely the professors who need
a co-worker (assistant) and cooperation among professors was instrumental in improving student achievement.
Another example is the volunteer organizations, such as social organizations like the Red Cross or blood
donors, because here everyone works as teamwork and each member takes responsibility for organizational
Word ‘collegial’ correlated in individuals with a common goal, in the sense that there is a team concept
in there. Management acts as a coach to build a better team. Collegial core of the model is about collaboration,
a sense of self believing and teamwork, as can be seen from the various methods of game outbound.
Collegial models depend how management builds sense of contribution together, from all the
participants. Each member of the organization felt that their contribution are needed, and all of them are in the
same level of contributions, so they feel welcome and appreciated for their role in the organization. Managers /
leaders must see the member contribution about this cooperation, not just being as a boss / leader.
Managerial orientation would divide the tasks in an integrated and all contribute to each other as a
team work. Manager shall have the power to unify / integrate the roles between members of the organization,
rather than just rule. Leaders do not force members to pass the duties or threatening if they are not working
properly, but it gives the message that respectively - each person have a deep desire to do the work better. The
result, in psychologic, will be a growing sense of discipline, self-responsibility of each member to improve
organizational performance. The result of the psychological model is self-employed. (Ivanko: 2013). An example
the model is football team, when each player share the role for one purpose, namely to win. Such conditions,
making the organization's members need a high level of commitment in realizing the each role professionally.
employees, e) the employee needs are met as an opportunity for self-actualization, f) Performance results
System model is based on confidence, self-motivation, and performance results will be better than
expected, because employees will be committed to perform their duties as expected in order to achieve
organizational goals. One of the most important things to consider is that managers and leaders must clearly
understand the nature of their organization before making any decision. In addition, they should consider and
look at changes in the environment and of course the needs of employees so that they can have the best
models that are used to obtain better results. This examples effort in some corporation, that are based on trust
or community, where employees are motivated and committed themselves to achieve organizational goals.
Brief characteristics of models of the system include: a) Depending on the level of trust, community,
and understanding, b) Managerial orientation is a concern, and compassion / mercy, c) Employee orientation is
unmet needs of employees who covers a lot of things, f) Performance results are in the form of passion / spirit,
Based on elaboration of the various models can be seen that impact elements from of behavior models
are managerial, employee and the performance result. Managerial element is the managerial orientation that
can be created from authority attitude, money oriented, supportive effort, teamwork implemented among the
leaders work together with subordinates, and based on trust-community-understanding among all member of
organization. Employee element consist of three part, there are employee orientation, employee psychological
result and employee needs met. Employee orientation like obedience, security benefit, performance orientation,
responsibility character, and based on sense of psychological ownership. Employee psychological result based
on employee feels that can be depend on boss, depend on organization, depend on partnership, depend on self
or by self’s motivation. Employee needs met similar with employee earn, that can be reached like subsistence,
security sense, status recognition, actualization, and wide range. While, the performance result can be as
minimum outcome, passive cooperation, awakened drive, an enthusiasm moderate and commitment for the
goals. Each model has advantages and disadvantages. Based on the various models, can be taken essence
3. Methods
This study used a qualitative approach with a single design case study (Yin, 2003) on Speech Writing
Unit at the Central Java Provincial Government. The focus of the study was to determine the model of
organizational behavior that were adopted by leaders in the units, then assessed what is most comfortable
models accepted by all members of the unit. This study will also have implications on the reference model of
Understanding the behavioral model of each leader as need assessment of the impact of
organizational behavior model is based on three elements, namely (1) management orientation, (2) The
employee element with three sub-elements, namely Employee Orientation, Employee Psychological result,
Employee Needs Met, and (3) elements performance results. Each element and sub-element categorized in 5
There are five leaders who have led this unit. The name of each leader will be mentioned with the
initials, to maintain their privacy. They are namely SS who took the lead in 2006 - 2008, SBS in 2008 - 2010,
WM in 2010 - 2012, ES in 2012 - 2015 and HS 2015 until these studies are completed. Each member of the unit
will provide an assessment of the leader who had led them over the years. Assessment is given by 5 permanent
staff of this unit, which has been working since 2006 until now.
Round Table Discussion or collective interviews (Onwuegbuzie et all, 2008) were conducted with the
entire staff on the speech writing unit and each staff member has the right to argue in determining the category
of each sub-element of the impact of the behavior model that has been applied to the leaders. Agreement in the
discussion determining the outcome of any leader is included in which category of each sub-element research.
The Discuss also clarify reasons why these leaders are included in that category. The result of this
collective interview will determine which models have been applied and which is suitable model for the members
of the unit. Thus we will get the organization behavior model that suitable for units like this.
Based on the collective interview with 5 staff on speech writing unit obtained categorization of the
application of each model of organizational behavior. To facilitate the placement of categorization, each leader
put on the table of model of organization behavior, includes the impact of the various sections and models
The period 2006 - 2008 was led by SS can be said of confidence to the staff less. Leaders consider every
task must be well handling, so many task is done by him. This task also has implications on the additional income, so
with a lot of work done by him, so the other staffs do not earn additional income. However, for senior staff, leaders will
provide greater job opportunities so his income is also increasing. The feelings of the staff depends on the policies
imposed by the organization, no initiative emerged from the personal - personal in a unit or leader, so they depend on
the organization decision, and the unit is running flat. Within two (2) years, no new work program initiatives that drive
the performance of the unit, all just focus on writing a speech with DOS program. However, in other side, the leader
have a high sense of responsibility to authority that entrusted by rules. Against all the possible errors, all borne by the
leader, although the feeling of anger is always get to the staff. For staff, this is very good, the most important work is
The period 2008 - 2010 led by SBS can be said to the staff's confidence is high, because the leaders were
support of any work performed by staff based on their own initiative or motivation of staff. Each task of writing a
speech is divided evenly among every staff writer, so that work done faster. Workload will be divided proportionally to
all staff, leader only delivery and guiding the task, the most important addition is income of the workers within a safe
level and meet the elements of fairness in obtaining additional income. The creation and innovation handed over
entirely by each staff, and leaders only served and supporting. For example, like on the proposed replacement of
equipment which was originally based on DOS to Windows, was approved and handed over entirely to the staff to
replace it, so the leaders know that the work will go well. Performance in general it can be said in the upgrading stage
because everything depends on the motivation and dedication of employees, while pressure from leader is very less
The period 2010 - 2012 led by WM can be said of confidence to the staff is not so bad, but the control is still
emerging. Task of writing speeches distributed in accordance with their expertise of each staff, leaders merely
watching. Not infrequently, every staff get a lot of task than the others because it's different skills. Because the task
implicated in additional revenue, the staff were able to actualize themselves or have more talent than others will get
additional reasonable income because more tasks assigned to him. Thus the workers will show responsibility in their
duties. Leaders never get angry or impose anything to the staff, and all depend on each discipline attitude, but remain
to be committed together in order to achieve organizational objectives, namely that each job is completed properly.
Not infrequently with their commitment, each member to working harder and late to come home, and the leader is
also devote his self to wait and control the job for done well.
The period 2012 - 2015 was led by the ES may be said shades of autocratic began to emerge, although the
ES is a female leader. The staff is required to adhere to all the rules and not infrequently warning issued to the staff
who late. The feelings of the staff also depends on the boss, even leader ever anger with other staff when are not
pleased with a certain attitude. Staffing needs will be met by the perception of a leader, so there is additional settings
revenue as directed by the leader. Basically, organizational performance continuously improved but internal
collaboration still passive because leaders adopting a more top down model.
The period of 2015 until now headed by HS, although only a few months lead, but can be seen a pattern of
leadership. The leader is still very young so he considers the other staff as a partner. He did not hesitate to say thank
you or accept input from the staff. He entrust to the staff about the technical matters, while managerial things always
determined by taking into account various staff input. Revitalize and rearrange the Standard Operating Procedures of
speech writing is continued under the leadership by involving staff. Making the visualization of speech delivered
entirely on technicians who handle and leader only in charge of overseeing and assisting. Under such conditions, the
staff also feeling comfortable working in a team that is solid and complement one of each other, and all of them work
well together to improve organizational performance. Psychologically, the feelings of the staff will be lifted by itself so
that it appears as a self-motivated to improve performance. When other units will blame or destroy a credibility of
speech writing unit, then the leader dared to resist and oppose it. This leader is also quite bold in taking various job
opportunities so that staff earning additional income. In order to improve the performance and competence of the staff
in writing speeches, the leader developed more comparative study to various areas to add to the experience for the
staff, as a refreshing and as an additional income. Because a comparative study will get travel money, that means an
additional earn.
From the pattern of each leader in speech writing unit, it can be perceived that no a leader who is genuinely
implement specific models of organizational behavior. Everything did traits that irregular. SS leader in the
implementation turned out to apply custodial models when looking at management orientation, the orientation of the
workers and psychological result, but when talking about the fulfillment of revenue then he implement a supportive
model, then the results of organizational performance precisely to be minimal, because the pattern of custodial
implemented with a low level of confidence, not because a passive cooperation, since cooperation between the staff
and the boss is there, but in the context of a small or unbalanced, like all speech writing executed by the leader, but
to revision after correction and delivery or in print submitted to the staff, so cooperation appear in a small scale and
not passive, although the performance of the organization to be minimal because the main task depend on one
person, a leader.
SBS leaders are very support staff and the performance result also continues to increase, but in defining the
orientation of the staff, as well as psychology rests entirely by staff. The most important to leader is in terms of
income all staff are in a safe condition and does not lack. WM leaders also differ, which in many cases do collegial
patterns, but the performance results would indicate that it depend on the commitment of each personnel in the
organization.
ES as a leader almost very consistent in applying the behavioral patterns of the organization, but when the
model autocracy more visible, it turns out the resulting performance can’t be said to be the minimum, because the
results are good and proved that ES get promotion to become a leader in larger units. This performance relies on
passive cooperation pattern that has been happening, where the autocratic attitude will be unbalanced, because the
main task given to certain people and the others not involved. And HS leader not only young but also has great
courage, so there are times when applying the model collegial by affecting the feelings of the staff to establish good
relations and finally staff orientation is only focused on organizational performance. However the leader applies
collegial patterns that promote cooperation among team members and were quite enthusiastic in producing a good
performance. In fact, sometimes the pattern system is also applied in relation to efforts to meet the needs of staff or
increase the income of staff with variety opportunities. The most dominant factor in determining the organizational
model is leadership style, or the attitude of a leader that is applied within the organization.
4. Conclusion
Based on the reality of the study, none of the models has an absolute advantage to be implemented in an
organization. There is no absolute model meaning no single model absolutely have positive impact. Each model have
positives impacts or negatives impacts on it. It is wrong when one of the models will be very useful for a long time.
The condition of organization would develop and dynamic as well as organizational behavior is changing, so the
model of organizational behavior is also growing. There is no one model of organizational behavior that can last
permanently, because the best depends on how to understand and situation of the behavior of individuals in the
environment. This condition similar with an assumption, that there is increasing evidence that humans “rarely behave
purposively, consistently, and with the goal of maximizing their expected utility” (McDonald; 2003).
It can be concluded that the model of organizational behavior that is most suitable for use in an organization
is a combined model, model which combine of the five models that already exist. At this moment, there is no research
that says how the percentage must be used of the model within an organization are combined.
