Organizational Behaviour is standing on 2 enduring principles. Any
violation of these principles, OB can't work effectively. These concepts are-
(1)Concepts revolving around the people
(2)Concepts revolving around the organization
The details of these concepts are given below:
(A)Nature of people
1.Individual differences: Every individual in the world is
different from others. This idea is supported by science. Each person is
different from all others, probably in million ways, just as each person’s DNA
profile is different. The idea of individual difference comes originally from
psychology. From the day of
birth, each person is unique, and individual experiences after birth
tend to make people even more different.
2.Perception: Peoples perceptions are also differ when they see
an object. Two people can differently
present a same object. And this is occurring for their experiences. A
person always organizes
and interprets what he sees according to his lifetime of experience
and accumulated value. Employees also see work differently for differ in their
personalities, needs, demographics factors, past experiences and social surrounding.
3.A whole person: An employee's personal life is not detached
from his working life. As an example, A women who attend the office at 8:30 AM
is always anxious for her children's school time (if her
children able to attend the school or not). As a result, its impact
falls on her concentration that
means her working life. For this reason, we cannot separate it. So
manager should treat an
employee as a whole person.
4.Motivated behavior: An employee has so many needs inside him.
So, they want to fulfill those needs. That's why; they had to perform well in
the organization. Some motivations are needed to enrich the
quality of work. A path toward increased need fulfillment is the
better way of enriches the
quality of work.
5.Desire for involvement: Every employee is actively seeking opportunities
at work to involve in decision-making problems. They hunger for the chance to
share what they know and to learn from the
experience. So, organization should provide them a chance to express
their opinions, ideas and suggestion for decision-making problem. A meaningful
involvement can bring mutual benefit for both parties.
6.Value of the person: An employee wants to be treated
separately from other factor of production (land, capital, labor). They refuse
to accept the old idea that they are simply treated as economic tools
because they are best creation of almighty Allah. For this reason,
they want to be treated
with carrying respect, dignity and other things from their employers
and society.
(B)The nature of
organization
1.Social Systems: Organizations are social systems and governed
by social and psychological laws. Organization environment in a social system
is dynamic. All parts of the system are interdependent.
2.Mutual interest: In order to develop the organization
behavior mutually of interest organizations and people is necessary.
Organizations need people and people in tern need organizations. People satisfy
their needs through organization and organization accomplish their goal through
people.
3.Ethics: In order to attract and retain valuable employees in
an era in which good workers are constantly required away, ethical treatment is
necessary. To succeed, organization must treat employees in an ethical fashion.
