- 2. What is ORGANISATIONL BEHAVIOUR and what are its IMPORTANCE ? Organisational behaviour is a newly developed branch of management. This is a discipline which emphasises the psychological aspects of industrial studies. Organisational behaviour in fact is not a discipline in the usual sense of the term but is rather an eclectic (selected from various sources of study) field of study involving the integration of the behavioural sciences (e.g. psychology, sociology, anthropology etc.) into the study of peoples behaviour within organisations. It is the integration of relevant knowledge of those areas that has given a new field of study, that is organisational behaviour which was previously known as ‘industrial psychology’.
- 3. As seems by its name the organisational behaviour is study of the behaviour of integrated elements of the organisation. As it is known that an organisation is a combination of certain elements. Basically, it consists of four elements:- 1. People 2. Formal structures of factory 3. Technology 4. External social system
- 4. The ELEMENTS OF O.B 1. People – it is the people who constitute the organisation. Once an organisation is established, people may be changed but the organisation never changes and will remain in the same existence as at the time of establishment. 2. FORMAL STRUCTURE- People from the structure to share their task to serve the purpose of the organisation. 3. Technology – people use it to achieve their goal in an effective and convenient manner. 4. 4.EXTERNAL SOCIAL SYSTEM- An organisation never comes in vacuum. It is always the part of social structure or social system. It influences the other part of social system. Likewise, other organisations or institutions influences the that very organisation. For ex. The govt. rule agencies or the customers influence the organisation.
- 5. Thus here we see that all the four elements are highly integrated to each other and organisational behaviour is primarily concerned with that aspect of human behaviour which is relevant for all these elements or in other words the whole organisation. Therefore it studies the human behaviour at individual level, group level and organisational level. In nutshell organisational behaviour is the study and application of knowledge about human behaviour related to the elements of the organisation such as people, structure, technology and social system.
- 6. IMPORTANCE OF ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOUR 1. UNDERSTANDING HUMAN BEHAVIOUR:- For shaping human behaviour in definite direction for achieving certain predetermined objectives, manager must know how the people in the organisation behave. O.B. provides way for understanding human behaviour in all the directions in which human being interact. Thus O.B. can be understood at individual level, group level, interpersonal level and intergroup level.
- 7. A. INDIVIDUAL LEVEL :- The behaviour of human beings as a social man is the trust issue in behavioural science. It provides for analysing why and how an individual behaves in a particular way. It shows that human behaviour is a complex phenomenon and is affected by a large number of factors psychological, social, cultural and others. OB integrates these factors to provide simplicity in understanding human behaviour. B. INTERPERSONAL LEVEL :- Human behaviour can be understood at the level of interpersonal interaction (two person’s relationship is inevitable in the organisation. O.B. provides means for understanding these interpersonal relationship) in the organisation.
- 8. C. GROUP LEVEL :- Group always influences the individuals behaviour. Thus individuals should be studied in group also. (Research in group dynamics has contributed vitally to OB and shows how a group behaves in its norms, cohesion act of sitting together, goals procedures, communication pattern, leadership and membership). D. INTERGROUP LEVEL :- The organisation is made up of many groups that develop complex of relationship to build its process and substance. (Understanding the effect of group relationship is important for managers in todays organisation. Intergroup relationship may be in the form of co-operation and competition. OB provides means to understood both types of relationships.)
- 9. 2. ORGANISATIONAL ADAPTATION :- Organisations as a dynamic entities are characterised by pervasive change. In this age of environmental variability, the real job of a manager is to provide continuity in the organisation, because organisations have to adapt themselves to the environmental change, by making certain arrangements. However such arrangements are always resisted by the inside people. Thus, managers have to face dual problems, identifying need for change and then, implementing the changes without adversely affecting the need for satisfaction of organisational people. Thus, from all these points it is clear that OB offers several ideas to management as to how human factor should be emphasised to achieve organisational objectives. In this way, it has discovered a new approach of the art of managing people in the organisation.
- 10. 3. CONTROLLING AND DIRECTING BEHAVIOUR :- After understanding the mechanism of human behaviour so that it conforms to standards required for achieving organisational objectives. Thus managers are required to control and direct the behaviour at all levels of individual interaction. For this purpose OB helps managers in many areas; a) use of power and sanction b) leadership c) communication d) creating organisation eliminate conductive for better interaction.
