Organizational Behaviors

Organizational behavior is the study of how people behave in an organization. The critical elements of organizational behavior include; people, technology, macro environment, and structure (Newstrom, 2015). It includes research aimed at improving the performance of human resources at the place of work and promoting innovation among the employees. Leaders are mandated to increase job satisfaction to motivate human resources to improve their performance through a positive attitude. For instance, the remuneration of employees in an organization encourages them to continue working and increase their production level. Organizational behavior also includes encouraging leadership to promote the necessary leadership styles that align with the organization's mission and objectives.

Organizational behaviors enable employees to work together more effectively despite corporate change, drastic restructuring, and growing global competition. Managers' role in promoting greater productivity and employee satisfaction is part of organizational behavior (Newstrom, 2015). Personality determines how people interact in an organization, thus contributing to its behavior. Behavior is crucial because it determines how people interact with colleagues in the workplace. The interactions influence how the organization behaves and its performance.

Organizational behavior includes how technology is integrated into activities and how humans interact with it to improve production. The external environment influences the organization's performance, such as the country's economy. Therefore, an organization does not operate independently but depends on other factors that determine its performance (Newstrom, 2015). Leaders use organizational behaviors to make decisions necessary to improve performance and address specific issues that are likely to occur in an organization. For instance, managers need to understand the workplace environment and the employees to address problems like pacifying conflict in the organization or developing an amenable working condition.
