TOPIC
HOW ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR MAY BE AFFECTED BY BIOGRAPHICAL TRADES
Organizational Behavior (OB) is the study of human behavior in
organizational settings, the interface between human behavior and
the organization, and the organization itself.
Origin of Organizational Behavior can trace its roots back to Max
Weber and earlier organizational studies.

The Industrial Revolution is the period from approximately 1760

when new technologies resulted in the adoption of new
manufacturing techniques, including increased mechanization.

The industrial revolution led to significant social and cultural

change, including new forms of organization.
Analyzing these new organizational forms, sociologist Max
Weber described bureaucracy as an ideal type of organization
that rested on rational-legal principles and maximized technical
efficiency.

In the 1890’s; with the arrival of scientific management and

Taylorism, Organizational Behavior Studies was forming it as an
academic discipline.
Factors Effecting behavior at work
or trade :
The role of work has changed throughout the world due to
economic conditions and social demands. Originally, work was a
matter of necessity and survival. Throughout the years, the role of
“work” has evolved and the composition of the workforce has
changed. Today, work still is a necessity but it should be a source of
personal satisfaction as well. One of the vehicles to help provide
attainment of personal and professional goals is work-life benefits
and programs which also helps to assess the behavior of an
individual and the factors affecting the behavior at work.
When it comes to behavior at work, most people with the right
attitude tend to think that pushing their all, is the way to go. It is
important to push and give your best but it is equally important to
rest and know how to recharge your batteries. One may have very
good behavior at work and strive hard to increase your efficiency
but if you do not know when to say stop, you will soon see your
productivity drop. But there are many factors which affect the
behavior at work which eventually affects the performance.
In December 2006 the British petroleum conducted a work life
balance workshop which highlighted the factors effecting people’s
behavior at work. Following are the key factors which affect the
behavior and which are also interrelated to each other
Change is inevitable in the life of an organization. In today’s
business world, most of the organizations are facing a dynamic
and changing business environment. They should either change
or die, there is no third alternative. Organizations that learn and
cope with change will thrive and flourish and others who fail to
do so will be wiped out. The major forces which make the
changes not only desirable but inevitable are technological,
economic, political, social, legal, international and labor market
environments.
“When an organizational system is disturbed by some internal
or external force, change frequently occurs. Change, as a
process, is simply modification of the structure or process of a
system. It may be good or bad, the concept is descriptive only.
 Factors Affecting Organizational Behaviour

The People

You spend a lot of your waking hours at work, so it's beneficial if they're enjoyable
hours, but that's not always the case. The people within an organization are one of
the primary influences over the overall organizational behavior within a company.
The interactions between individual employees is, in fact, one of the main areas of
study within the field of organizational behavior. Various personal characteristics
that may influence organizational behavior include the education level of
employees, their backgrounds, abilities and beliefs
Pros and Cons of Technology

The use of technology is an often overlooked component of organizational behavior.

For example, employees within a company may exhibit the organizational behavior
of communicating primarily via email, while employees in another company may
make it a habit to walk down the hall to others' offices to speak face-to-face.
Technology also affects organizational behavior in that it allows companies to
increasingly allow employees to work from home, resulting in less bonding among
employees. At the same time, the use of technology can bring together people
separated geographically through the use of teleconferencing, for example
The Environment

The environmental influences on organizational behavior can come from both internal
and external sources. A company engaged in a highly regulated business may have a
strict and structured culture due to the need to conform to certain laws and
regulations from the company's external environment. The internal environment of a
company also affects organizational behavior. For example, a struggling company will
often have a different organizational behavior than a successful and growing business.
When a company's higher ups set an example in order to improve organizational
behavior, the effects trickle down to lighten the mood from one level to the next which
is as good for morale as it is for business.
