Organizational Behavior Is Not Simply Common Sense

In a way it is common sense, but it is not when it comes to the structuring of a whole organization with so many different people, and learning styles, and also the common goals and mission of the organization. It almost becomes a management science. And it has to be treated as such. Also, the OB will have to be a little more human than plain pure hard science, which is why it cannot be treated as all fact. Many organizations survive on the edge and the directors as well as staff think on feet to accomplish what in all good conscience they have to for upholding their companies' agenda. Organizational behavior is a very inter disciplinary field from economics to management and even to ethics of corporation. The curriculum OB course include case studies from various corporations. And that provides a good sense of organizational behavior to the students at college and graduate levels. In that sense, OB can be taught in a field work manner as well, where multiple fields come together. After school program between 3-6 pm, all week long. It includes over seeing space and staff for the program, manage the budget and also bring the program to a successful ending with final projects. The Executive overseeing such a program is responsible for budgeting, staffing and ensuring that the program runs smoothly. Simultaneously, having good relation with school administration, community based organization and the funder. Reporting quarterly and annually on the successes and challenges as well as recommendations for the continued implementation of the program.

Organizational behavior Defining the field Organizations are collections of interacting and inter related human and non-human resources working toward a common goal or set of goals within the framework of structured relationships. Organizational behavior is concerned with all aspects of how organizations influence the

behavior of individuals and how individuals in turn influence organizations. Organizational behavior is an inter-disciplinary field that draws freely from a number of the behavioral sciences, including anthropology, psychology, sociology, and many others. The unique mission of organizational behavior is to apply the concepts of behavioral sciences to the pressing problems of management, and, more generally, to administrative theory and practice. In approaching the problems of organizational behavior, there are a number of available strategies we can utilize. Historically, the study of management and organizations took a closedsystems view. The preoccupation of this view is to maximize the efficiency of internal operations. In doing so, the uncertainty of uncontrollable and external environmental factors often were assumed away or denied. This traditional closedsystems view of organizations made substantial contributions to the theory of organizational design. At the same time, for analytical reasons, organizations came to be viewed as precise and complex machines. In this framework, human beings were reduced to components of the organizational machine. More recently, the study of organizations and the behavior of human beings within them have assumed a more open-systems perspective. Factors such as human sentiments and attitudes, as well as technological and sociological forces originating outside the organizations, have assumed greater importance in analyzing organizational behavior. This book adopts the open perspective, because

this is a contemporary and more meaningful way to view organizations and human behavior within them. After some preliminary issues, we shall examine the individual. We shall move from the individual to the small group, to the complex organization, and finally to some environmental factors important to the process of organizational change.
