Dynamics Environments:

A dynamic environment is characterized by the uncertainty of the environment that limits the ability of
managers to make decisions like to create quality control standards, efficient processes and best practices for a
company. Managers try to balance the uncertainty in decision-making process. The ability to learn from
experiences, adapt strategies, and rapidly implement necessary changes is crucial for success. Dynamic
environments present both risks and opportunities. Organizations must proactively identify and manage risks
while capitalizing on emerging opportunities.

Future of Organizational Behavior:

Organizations need to change their behavior. We are beginning to see a fundamental shift in organizational
behavior. A growing number of individuals and organizations are learning how to become more patient,
committed, connected, engaged, trusted and emotionally intelligent. There are significant challenges
associated with these behavioral shifts in behavior but the need and the results outweigh the emotional labor
required.

Contributing Disciplines to Organizational Behavior (OB)

Organizational behavior (OB) is characterized by being a multidisciplinary discipline in nature as so OB is
contributed by various disciplines.
These disciplines have developed and made organizational behavior a strong separate field of study with its
own applications to use. The major contributing disciplines to the field of organizational behavior are:

 Psychology - Psychology is the behavioral science that studies human behavior and mental processes.
 Sociology - is the study of human behavior in a social setting
 Social Psychology - It studies the social behavior and thought of people plus how people thinks &
feels
 Anthropology - It studies the evolution or development stages of human beings
 Political Science – political science deals with politics and its practices in different scenarios
 Economics - economics is related to the cost. It is the study of how to minimize cost, how to best use
scarce resources, and achieve more from less.

What is Diversity?
Diversity refers to the ways in which people are similar or different from each other. It may be defined by any characteristic
that varies within a particular work unit such as gender, race, age, education, tenure, or functional background. Even
though diversity may occur with respect to any characteristic, our focus will be on diversity with respect to demographic.

 Surface Level Diversity: Surface-level diversity refers to a sort of diversity in which the features are
observable. Age, color, sex, gender balance, visible disability, and physical size are just a few examples.
 Deep Level Diversity: Non-observing qualities, or not apparent features like Opinions, beliefs, and
religious affiliations are among them. They're related to hidden diversity in that they're difficult to spot.
