Organizational BehaviorOrganizational Behavior:Organizational behavior refers to the attitudes and behavior of individuals in the organization. Organizational behavior is an interdisciplinary field of study that draws from many behavioral sciences. The goal of organizational behavior is to apply concepts from other behavioral sciences to pressing problems that management may face, as well as to apply organizational behavior to administrative theory and practice. With organizational behavior problems, there are a number of strategies available that can be used. In the past, the study of organizations and management used a closed systems view. The purpose of this vision was to maximize the efficiency of internal operations. By taking this particular point of view, the uncertainty of external environmental factors was often denied. This traditional closed systems view of any organization provides substantial contributions to organizational design theory. At the same time, many organizations have become very precise and extremely complex machines. In this state of mind, the human workforce was often reduced to nothing more than a simple component of the overall organization. Something like a robot part being programmed to put together a vehicle. Organizational culture: One of management's primary responsibilities is to create and maintain organizational characteristics that reward and encourage collective effort.

Organizational culture has been considered so important to the organization that, in the long term, it may be the only decisive influence on the... middle of paper... on organizations, individuals and teams in that organization, from a current state to a desired future state. The current definition of Change Management includes both organizational change management processes and individual change management models. Organizational change management includes the processes and tools for managing the human side of change at the organizational level. These tools include a structured approach that can be used to effectively manage the transition of individuals, groups and organizations through difficult changes. When combined with an understanding of individual change management, these tools provide a framework for managing the human side of change.
