SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR 2
Introduction
Organizational behavior is the study of how individuals interrelate in a group. It is
concerned with comprehending and being able to predict and govern human behavior in an
organization. This study is essential to understand how to shape and retain a tough and
supportive workforce. Its aims to enhance the existing relationships by achieving the set group
and organizational objectives. That is in consideration of all types of organization such as
schools, companies, the government, and non-governmental organizations. When it comes to
supporting organizational behavior, employees are self-motivated, confident and take pride in
their work. In this paper, we focus on supporting organization behavior where the manager aims
to create a supportive operational environment for the employees (Rollinson, 2008).
The Impact Groups and Teams Have on Organizational Behavior
The significance of groups and teams is now more than ever being emphasized in the
professional world. Research has proven that much of an organization’s work is accomplished
via teams, either directly or indirectly. The groups and teams influence organizational behavior in
the following ways:
Groups and teams enable self-actualization
Research has shown that being in a group or team is one of the ways of motivating
employees in their day to day lives. Abraham Maslow in his theory of needs observes that an
organization that considers the physiological, safety, belonging and esteem of employees is better

placed at helping them self-actualize. Groups and teams organized according to the values of the
organization will help bring Maslow’s theory to life.
Groups and teams enhance professional development
The groups and teams promote professional development as they teach the employees
how to maintain a professional decorum amongst each other. That will be possible if the rules
and regulations apply to everyone equally. That aids the organization to realize its aims and
objectives.
Groups and teams boost communication
The groups and teams enable enhanced communication between the employees
themselves and between the employees and management. Communication not only helps to
create a suitable work environment but also allows growth in the business world.
Groups and teams improve time management
Organizational projects are handled better through groups. These groups set time-limits
for themselves enhancing performance in a bid to maintain team-synergy. That is because one is
accountable to not only yourself but to others as well. As such, one is motivated to keep time
when it comes to group projects to achieve the overall set group objectives.
