Organizational Behavior Terminology and Concepts I'm not sure who popularized the term "dressing for success," but I think the term falls short. Anyone can dress well and look good, but there's more to success than just dressing well. While it is important for organizations for their employees to present themselves with a professional appearance and manner, there are also many other concepts within an organization that need to be addressed. Organizational behavior, as defined in our text, is the study of human behavior in organizations (Schermerhorn, Hunt & Osborn, 2005, p. 17). In my opinion, how organizations behave internally is what can truly make them successful. The concepts of culture, diversity, communication, etc.; they need to be addressed so that employees can work well together and business can run smoothly. The way an organization's employees think and work together creates an organizational culture. This organizational culture could be good or bad depending on many factors. For example, in my work we have different crews and each one has its own culture. Stronger crews tend to have better leadership, morale and team structures based on mutual support. This creates a strong crew culture where every member thinks alike and works together towards the same goal with the best intentions and maximum effort. The crews within my organization are also very diverse. All employees are required to attend diversity training to better understand and accept each other's differences. My crew consists of 28 people from different countries. Ages vary as do religious backgrounds and so much more. Having such a diverse workforce, of...... middle of paper... in my job. Training has become more important than ever. In past years, my company assigned a trainer to a new technician for the initial start of his career. After the initial training of new employees, it was up to them individually to keep up with the small changes that occurred. With technology advancing at such a rapid pace, my company actually recognized this as an issue that deserved action. Today we have regular training sessions and regularly receive much-needed manuals, updates and technical support. Those individuals who refuse to adapt to learning behavior fall behind at a very rapid rate and eventually lose their jobs. References Schermerhorn, J.R., Hunt, J.G., & Osborn, R.N. (2005).
