AbstractOrganizational behavior is the study and application of knowledge about how people, individuals, and groups act in organizations. It does this by adopting a systems approach. That is, it interprets people-organization relationships in terms of the whole person, the whole group, the whole organization, and the whole social system. Its purpose is to build better relationships by achieving human goals, organizational goals and social goals. Organizations are social inventions to achieve common goals through group effort. The fundamental characteristic of organizations is that they involve the coordinated efforts of people working together to achieve common goals. They are open systems that take inputs from the external environment, transform some of these inputs and send them back into the environment as outputs. The external environment includes all events and conditions surrounding the organization that influence this process. The major components of the environment include the economy, customers, suppliers, competitors, social/political factors, and existing technologies. Organizational behavior refers to the attitudes and behaviors of individuals and groups in an organizational context. The field of organizational behavior systematically studies these attitudes and behaviors and provides advice on how organizations can manage them effectively. The goals of the field include predicting, explaining, and managing organizational behavior. Management is the art of achieving results in organizations through others. It consists of acquiring, allocating and using physical and human resources to achieve objectives. Personality is important for organizational behavior because there are many cards and they react more negatively to this stress. .The study of organizational behavior this quarter has given new meaning to the term. I learned so much about organizational behavior to last a lifetime. We are currently having a lot of personal conflicts in my organization. Personalities clash and people don't communicate to do their jobs effectively. Communicating extensively while respecting the opinions of others is the key to the success of any organization.ReferencesJ. D. Neal and Associates, Inc. (2003).
