IMPACT OF ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR 2 What is an Organization ? In order to understand organizational behavior, we must first understand what an organization is. “An organization is a group of people working together under a defined structure for the purpose of achieving stated goals through coordinated activities. These activities require the use of human, material, and financial resources. An organization must be able to obtain the necessary input resources (i.e., employees, materials/supplies, capital, etc.) from its environment and efficiently transform the resources to outputs (i.e., goals).” (Borkowski, 2016) What is Organizational Behavior? “ Organizational behavior (OB) is the study of individual and group dynamics within an organizational setting. The goals of Organizational Behavior are to explain, predict, and influence behavior. Managers need to be able to explain why employees engage in some behaviors rather than others, predict how employees will respond to various actions and decisions, and influence how employees behave." (Borkowski, 2016) Key Components of Organizational Behavior • People- People with different religions, beliefs, personalities and nationalities all make up the main component of an organization.
