ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR

TEAM ASSIGNMENT
4,000 WORDS (+10%)

TEAM PROJECT: Your team of 5-6 members will play the role of management consultancy. Your team is
to conduct an analysis of a real organization, exploring an aspect of organizational behavior that interests
you and is relevant to the organization you are working with. Your team’s role is to analyze the issue (study
the organization) with relevance to the organization you are studying and propose actions that solve the
organization’s issue/ problem. It is important that your project be issue-oriented and analytical and not
merely descriptive.
Deadline: TBC
Select an organization to study. The organization can be public or private. The most important consideration
factor in choosing your organization is access: you need to be able to have a contact person who can
participate in your study of the organization and give you access to the information you require and people.
Select an issue. The range of options is large. It needs to involve organizational behavior topics that are
relevant to the organization you select. You can choose among topics discussed during lectures (on the
lecture schedule of this syllabus) and/or in the textbook. For example, you may be interested in worker
motivation and job satisfaction, goal commitment and job performance, the effectiveness of teams and real
estate worker performance, the personality trait of extraversion and sales performance. It is very important
that you focus your analysis on one core issue. Papers that attempt to do too much typically lose their focus
and receive low marks.
A. Issue identification and description
 Give the context and describe the matter/issue.
 Give the reason why choosing the matter / issue and how important / necessary it is
B. Issue analytical interpretation
 Clearly interpret/ explain the matter / issue in details.
 Adequately support the interpretation / explanation of the matter / issue with logical and
convincing evidence
C. Issue enhancement interpretation
 Give your evaluation of / suggested solutions to / recommendations for the improvement of
the matter, issue or situation and the results (if any)
Team Project
1. Gather relevant information and data. You have several options for gathering information and data.
You may create and administer a survey or you may interview key informants from the organization
you are studying. You may observe workers. Use any data collection procedure that will help you
achieve your goals.
2. Analyze your problem or issue. Using the information you have gathered about the organization,
draw some conclusions about the issue you are studying. Draw on the organizational behavior
literature relevant to your topic to help you analyze it. Your analysis should be clear, logical, and
based on what you have learned from your data, the class, the text, and other readings. It is often
helpful to include tables and figures in the report to clarify your analyses.
3. Generate suggested solutions. Given your analysis of the problem, generate key steps an
organization can take to improve any problems and build on any strengths. Your suggestions should
involve things an organization could actually do given constraints. It might be helpful to first lay out
all possible solutions, including “ideal” ones in a world without constraints, and then select from
those, attempting to approximate the ideal ones. Your suggestions should be based whenever
possible on general and guiding principles of organizational behavior learned in the course.
4. Final paper formatting. The final project report should be up to 12 typed, double-spaced, and
numbered pages of text, plus references, tables, figures, and appendices. Please write clearly and
concisely and follow APA guidelines when it comes to the format of your paper, including how you
format your references.
5. Sample APA structure your REPORT may follow is as follows:
 Title page
 Table of content
 Executive Summary
 Introduction
 Literature review
 Methodology (how to collect and analyze data)
 Results and Discussions (critical analysis)
 Conclusion and Recommendation (company can do)
