Organizational Behaviors

Organizational Behaviors

According to Luthans et al., (2021), the academic field of organizational behavior
focuses on the dynamics of teamwork. Organizational behavior theory and practice are
largely used to improve company operations. The Western Electric Company's now-famous
series of research on employee behavior at its Hawthorne Works factory in Cicero, Illinois,
dates back to the late 1920s and is considered the genesis of the field of organizational
behavior. The Hawthorne Effect, illustrates how test participants' conduct may alter when
they realize they are being monitored (Wagner & Hollenbeck 2020).  And without proper
organizational behavior, workers are more likely to act irrationally. This may adversely
influence their ability to compete for jobs inside the company.
Foundational to the field of human resources in corporations is the study of
organizational behavior, which encompasses studies aimed at enhancing productivity,
elevating morale, stimulating creativity, and inspiring leadership. Recommendations range
from group restructuring, pay raises, to new approaches to gauging productivity. Being able
to act in an organized manner is crucial in any group setting (Wagner & Hollenbeck
2020). There might be as few as three persons or as many as five. Put simply, it's how you
carry yourself in a professional or organizational situation where there is interaction and
interaction between humans and the organization.
The study of organizational behaviors assists on how employees engage with one
another inside a company thus promotes cohesion (Uhl-Bien et al., 2020). The organization's
culture and productivity are both affected by the connections between employees.
Organizational behavior is employed by organizations to increase their competitive advantage
via streamlined operations, higher production, and more creative problem solving. In today's
business environment, human resource management cannot function without an
understanding of organizational behavior. The effectiveness of the group will be based on

how well they work together and interact with one another. Management may learn more
about the importance of corporate culture to employee satisfaction and retention with the aid
of an effective organizational model. In the course of the recruiting process, it may help
human resource to determine which applicants have the necessary abilities and personality
traits to succeed in their roles, as well as which ones will be the best cultural fits for the
organization.
