ABOUT THE SUBJECT

Organizational studies, organizational behavior, and organizational theory is the systematic


study and careful application of knowledge about how people - as individuals and as groups - act
within organization..

Organizational studies encompasses the study of organizations from multiple viewpoints,


methods, and levels of analysis.

Whenever people interact in organizations, many factors come into play. Modern organizational
studies attempt to understand and model these factors. Like all modernist social sciences,
organizational studies seeks to control, predict, and explain.

1
A HISTORY OF THE SUBJECT

The Greek philosopher Plato wrote about the essence of leadership. Aristotle addressed the topic
of persuasive communication. The writings of 16th century Italian philosopher Niccolò
Machiavelli laid the foundation for contemporary work on organizational power and politics. In
1776, Adam Smith advocated a new form of organizational structure based on the division of
labour. One hundred years later, German sociologist Max Weber wrote about rational
organizations and initiated discussion of charismatic leadership. Soon after, Frederick Winslow
Taylor introduced the systematic use of goal setting and rewards to motivate employees. In the
1920s, Australian-born Harvard professor Elton Mayo and his colleagues conducted productivity
studies at Western Electric's Hawthorne plant in the United States.

After the First World War, the focus of organizational studies shifted to analysis of how human
factors and psychology affected organizations, a transformation propelled by the identification of
the Hawthorne Effect. This Human Relations Movement focused on teams, motivation, and the
actualization of the goals of individuals within organizations. Prominent early scholars included
Chester Barnard, Henri Fayol, Mary Parker Follett, Frederick Herzberg, Abraham Maslow,
David McClelland, and Victor Vroom.

MAIN CONTRIBUTORS TO THE FIELD

Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915):

Taylor was the first person who attempted to study human behavior at work using a systematic
approach. Taylor studied human characteristics, social environment, task, physical environment,
capacity, speed, durability, cost and their interaction with each other. His overall objective was to
reduce and/or remove human variability. Taylor worked to achieve his goal of making work
behaviors stable and predictable so that maximum output could be achieved. He relied strongly
upon monetary incentive systems, believing that humans are primarily motivated by money. He
faced some strong criticism, including being accused of telling managers to treat workers as
machines without minds, but his work was very productive and laid many foundation principles
for modern management study.

Elton Mayo:

Elton Mayo, an Australian national, headed the Hawthorne Studies at Harvard. In his classic
writing in 1931, Human Problems of an Industrial Civilization, he advised managers to deal with
emotional needs of employees at work.

Mary Parker Follett:

Mary Parker Follett was a pioneer management consultant in the industrial world. As a writer,
she provided analyses on workers as having complex combinations of attitude, beliefs, and
needs. She told managers to motivate employees on their job performance, a "pull" rather than a
"push" strategy.

3
Douglas McGregor:

Douglas McGregor proposed two theories/assumptions, which are very nearly the opposite of
each other, about human nature based on his experience as a management consultant. His first
theory was “Theory X”, which is pessimistic and negative; and according to McGregor it is how
managers traditionally perceive their workers. Then, in order to help managers replace that
theory/assumption, he gave “Theory Y” which takes a more modern and positive approach. He
believed that managers could achieve more if managers start perceiving their employees as self-
energized, committed, responsible and creative beings. By means of his Theory Y, he in fact
challenged the traditional theorists to adopt a developmental approach to their employees. He
also wrote a book The Human Side of Enterprise in 1960; this book has become a foundation for
the modern view of employees at work.

CURRENT SCENARIO:

Organizational behaviour is currently a growing field. Organizational studies departments


generally form part of business schools, although many universities also have industrial
psychology and industrial economics programs.

The field is highly influential in the business world with practitioners like Peter Drucker and
Peter Senge, who turned the academic research into business practices. Organizational behaviour
is becoming more important in the global economy as people with diverse backgrounds and
cultural values have to work together effectively and efficiently. It is also under increasing
criticism as a field for its ethnocentric and pro-capitalist assumptions

During last 20 years organizational behavior study and practice has developed and expanded
through creating integrations with other domains:

 Anthropology became an interesting prism to understanding firms as communities, by


introducing concepts like Organizational culture, 'organizational rituals' and 'symbolic
acts' enabling new ways to understand organizations as communities.
 Leadership Understanding the crucial role of leadership at various level of an
organization in the process of change management.
 Ethics and their importance as pillars of any vision and one of the most important driving
forces in an organization.

5
ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE

Organizational culture is a concept in the field of Organizational studies and management


which describes the attitudes, experiences, beliefs and values of an organization. It has been
defined as "the specific collection of values and norms that are shared by people and groups in an
organization and that control the way they interact with each other and with stakeholders outside
the organization

Strong culture is said to exist where staff respond to stimulus because of their alignment to
organizational values.

Conversely, there is weak culture where there is little alignment with organizational values and
control must be exercised through extensive procedures and bureaucracy.

Where culture is strong—people do things because they believe it is the right thing to do—there
is a risk of another phenomenon, Groupthink. "Groupthink" was described by Irving L. Janis. He
defined it as "...a quick and easy way to refer to a mode of thinking that people engage when
they are deeply involved in a cohesive ingroup, when members' strivings for unanimity override
their motivation to realistically appraise alternatives of action." This is a state where people, even
if they have different ideas, do not challenge organizational thinking, and therefore there is a
reduced capacity for innovative thoughts. This could occur, for example, where there is heavy
reliance on a central charismatic figure in the organization, or where there is an evangelical
belief in the organization’s values, or also in groups where a friendly climate is at the base of
their identity (avoidance of conflict). In fact groupthink is very common, it happens all the time,
in almost every group. Members that are defiant are often turned down or seen as a negative
influence by the rest of the group, because they bring conflict.

Innovative organizations need individuals who are prepared to challenge the status quo—be it
groupthink or bureaucracy, and also need procedures to implement new ideas effectively.

6
ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS

Organizational effectiveness is the concept of how effective an organization is in achieving the


outcomes the organization intends to produce. The idea of organizational effectiveness is
especially important for non-profit organizations as most people who donate money to non-profit
organizations and charities are interested in knowing whether the organization is effective in
accomplishing its goals.

An organization's effectiveness is also dependent on its communicative competence and ethics.


The relationship between these three is simultaneous. Ethics is a foundation found within
organizational effectiveness. An organization must exemplify respect, honesty, integrity and
equity to allow communicative competence with the participating members. Along with ethics
and communicative competence, members in that particular group can finally achieve their
intended goals.

Organizational effectiveness is an abstract concept and is basically impossible to measure.


Instead of measuring organizational effectiveness, the organization determines proxy measures
which will be used to represent effectiveness. Proxy measures used may include such things as
number of people served, types and sizes of population segments served, and the demand within
those segments for the services the organization supplies.

For instance, a non-profit organization which supplies meals to house bound people may collect
statistics such as the number of meals cooked and served, the number of volunteers delivering
meals, the turnover and retention rates of volunteers, the demographics of the people served, the
turnover and retention of consumers, the number of requests for meals turned down due to lack
of capacity (amount of food, capacity of meal preparation facilities, and number of delivery
volunteers), and amount of wastage. Since the organization has as its goal the preparation of
meals and the delivery of those meals to house bound people, it measures its organizational
effectiveness by trying to determine what actual activities the people in the organization do in
order to generate the outcomes the organization wants to create.

7
Activities such as fundraising or volunteer training are important because they provide the
support needed for the organization to deliver its services but they are not the outcomes per se.
These other activities are overhead activities which assist the organization in achieving its
desired outcomes.

8
EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

Employee engagement is a concept that is generally viewed as managing discretionary effort,


that is, when employees have choices, they will act in a way that furthers their organization's
interests. An engaged employee is a person who is fully involved in, and enthusiastic about, his
or her work.

Engaged employees care about the future of the company and are willing to invest the
discretionary effort. Engaged employees feel a strong emotional bond to the organization that
employs them.

FACTORS AFFECTING EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT:

 Employee perceptions of job importance.

 Employee clarity of job expectations. "If expectations are not clear and basic materials
and equipment not provided, negative emotions such as boredom or resentment may
result, and the employee may then become focused on surviving more than thinking
about how he can help the organization succeed."

 Career advancement/improvement opportunities. "Plant supervisors and managers


indicated that many plant improvements were being made outside the suggestion system,
where employees initiated changes in order to reap the bonuses generated by the
subsequent cost savings."

 Regular feedback and dialogue with superiors. "Feedback is the key to giving employees
a sense of where they’re going, but many organizations are remarkably bad at giving it.
"'What I really wanted to hear was 'Thanks. You did a good job.' But all my boss did was
hand me a check.'

 Quality of working relationships with peers, superiors, and subordinates. "...if employees'
relationship with their managers is fractured, then no amount of perks will persuade the
employees to perform at top levels. Employee engagement is a direct reflection of how
employees feel about their relationship with the boss."

9
 Perceptions of the ethos and values of the organization.
 Effective Internal Employee Communications - which convey a clear description of
"what's going on". "'If you accept that employees want to be involved in what they are
doing then this trend is clear (from small businesses to large global organizations). The
effect of poor internal communications is seen as its most destructive in global
organizations which suffer from employee annexation - where the head office in one
country is buoyant (since they are closest to the action, know what is going on, and are
heavily engaged) but its annexes (who are furthest away from the action and know little
about what is happening) are dis-engaged. In the worst case, employee annexation can be
very destructive when the head office attributes the annex's low engagement to its poor
performance... when its poor performance is really due to its poor communications.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The objective of the study is the purpose for which the study is conducted and it is
undertaken. The objective decides the procedure and the path which will be taken for the
study. The objective is the base on which the foundation of the study is built. The objective
should be decided with utmost concentration and due consideration.

The objective of our study is:

 To analyze the organizational culture in HDFC Bank

 To analyze the employee engagement in HDFC Bank

 To analyze organizational effectiveness in HDFC Bank

11
METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY

Methodology refers to more than a simple set of methods; rather it refers to the rationale and
the philosophical assumptions that underlie a particular study. This is why scholarly literature
often includes a section on the methodology of the researchers.

For the purpose of this study, the type of research undertaken was primary research, which
comprised of collecting information through questionnaires from the selected sample.
Primary research is more detailed and it involves getting close information from the sample
directly.

PROCEDURE OF THE STUDY:

The study was conducted by getting questionnaires filled by HDFC Bank employees. Then
the data collected was tabulated and various tools like SPSS and Microsoft Excel were used
for the quantification of the data collected.

INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN `TO SAMPLE INDIVIDUALS:

The employees of HDFC Bank, who were selected as a part of the sample, were told to fill
the questionnaires with legitimate details in the questionnaire. The sample individuals were
also requested to give the true and fair picture of the organization and the working
environment of the organization, as this would help us in getting a fair picture of the
organization and help us get the true findings from the study.

CONCLUSION

We see that nearly all the employees of the firm feel that there is employee engagement ,
organization effectiveness and organization culture .This means that the employees feel that they
have a shared set of values ,beliefs and thought. Apart from this we even see that the employees
feel that there is good team spirit among themselves

On the basis of the survey done by us we have come to the following conclusion.

Organization Culture

In HDFC BANK, culture plays a significant role. The firm already has a good organization
culture according to the survey done by us. Organization culture is the unifying and shared
patterns of thoughts, freely value and action that serve to bind together organizational members
and distinguish them from non-members. Thus we see that in HDFC, the organization takes care
of most of the employees.

Employee Engagement
Employee engagement is a two way communication process between the employees the
organization. After scrutinizing the questionnaire we see that HDFC BANK has an effective
employee engagement. The employees in this firm can readily relate themselves to the
organization. The employees in this organization feel more engaged when they make unique
contribution to the organization. The employee structure of HDFC BANK, is very loyal to the
firm (according to the calculation done). There is little among themselves and we see that the
employees perceive themselves as being unified with the organization.

Organizational Effectiveness.

87
By organizational effectiveness, we mean how effective an organization is to achieve its goal. In
the context of HDFC BANK, we perceive that the firm has a sound management, strong
governance and a willful dedication to achieve its specific goals. Most of the employees agree
with the fact that the organization is effective to accomplish its target in time.

METHODOLOGY

The sample study was conducted on sample size of 10. Samples were employees from all
managerial level Of HDFC BANK.

Aim
To find the deviation in the responses given by the employees and interpreting and analyzing
their responses to questionnaires on the above mentioned parameters.

Parameter of analysis
1. Organizational culture

2. Employee engagement

3. Organization effectiveness.

PROCESS

1. Review of literature

2. Employees personal interview and getting fixed questionnaires.

3. Sorting and classification of questionnaire

4. Creating database using excel sheet, SPSS.

5. Calculation of MODE of individual data.

88
6. Analyzing interpreting and graphical representation of the collected data

Suggestion

 A career path that provides opportunities for advancement.

 Better management and effective communications.

 Reasonable workload.

 Engage by concentrating on four areas- selection, expectation, motivation and


development.

89
SCOPE OF IMPROVEMENT:

Although we see that majority of the employees feel that the organization has an effective
culture and the employees even appreciate their teamwork but if we analyze the
questionnaires deeply we see that some of the employees are still not satisfied with their
organization. Thus in order to improve the present situation the organization needs to fulfill
all the employees aspirations. This the firm can do in many ways:
