  15. Enter Organizational Behavior

  16. Organizational Behavior (OB) can be defined as the understanding, prediction and management of human behavior both individually or in a group that occur within an organization.

  20. Contributing Disciplines to the OB Field (cont’d) 1-3d E X H I B I T

  21. Challenges and Opportunity for OB • 1. Responding to Globalization: • Increased foreign assignments • Working with people from different cultures. No beef burger in India • 2. Managing workforce diversity: • Gender, race, national origin, age, disability, • Changing demographics • Workforce diversity can increase creativity and (Canada) innovation in organizations as well as improve decision making by providing different perspective on problem.

  22. 3. Improving customer services: • Today’s managers understand that success of any effort at improving services must include their employees. • 4. Improving people skills: • We’ll present relevant concepts and theories that can help you explain and predict the behavior of people at work. • Learn a ways to motivate people • How to be a better communicator • How to create more effective teams

  23. Stimulating innovation and change • Today’s successful organizations must foster innovation and master the art of change or they’ll become candidate for extinction. • An organization’s employees can be the impetus for innovation and change or they can be a majors stumbling block. • The challenge for managers is to stimulate their employees’ creativity and tolerance for change.

  24. Coping with “temporariness”: • Managing today would be more accurately described as long periods of ongoing change, interrupted occasionally by short periods of stability! • The actual jobs that workers perform are in a permanent state of flux. • So workers need to continually update their knowledge and skills to perform new job requirements.

  25. Helping employees balance work/life conflicts: • A number of forces have contributed to blurring the lines between employee work and personal lives. • First, the creation of global organizations means their world never sleeps. • Second, communication technology allows employee to do their work at home, in their car, or on the beach in Tahiti. • Third, organizations are asking employees to put in longer hours. • Finally, fewer families have only a single breadwinner

  26. Improving ethical behavior: • Members of organizations are increasingly finding themselves facing ethical dilemmas, situations in which they are required to define right and wrong conduct. • In recent years, the line differentiating right from wrong has become even more unclear. • Managers and their organizations are writing and distributing codes of ethics to guide employees through ethical dilemmas.
