Management in Organizational Behavior is a foundational concept that combines the principles of
management with the understanding of how individuals and groups behave within an organization. It draws
from disciplines like psychology, sociology, and anthropology to help managers create more effective and
human-centered workplaces.
DEFINITION AND SIGNIFICANCE OF MANAGEMENT
Take a close look at the society around you. You would find the existence of several organizations. To
mention a few, the business organizations that produce goods or services, hospitals, religious and social
institutions like charities, schools, colleges and universities.
All these organizations exist to achieve pre-determined objectives. They affect our lives in many ways.
Though there are vast differences in their functioning and approaches, they all strive to achieve certain
objectives. It must also be noted that organizations cannot achieve the objectives effortlessly. They are
achieved through systematic effort.
Several activities have to be performed in a cohesive way. In the absence of systematic and cohesive
performance of the activities to achieve the objectives, it is no wonder that the resources of organizations
would be underutilized. As such it is the function of the management to facilitate the performance of
activities such that the accomplishment of the objectives becomes possible. Meaning of Management
Management is understood in different ways by different people.
Economists regard it as a factor of production. Sociologists see it as a class or group of persons while
practitioners of management treat it as a process. For our understanding, management may be viewed as
what a manager does in a formal organization to achieve the objectives. In the words of Mary Parker Follet
management is “the art of getting things done through people”.
This definition throws light on the fact that managers achieve organizational goals by enabling others to
perform rather than performing the tasks themselves. Management encompasses a wide variety of activities
that no one single definition can capture all the facets of management. That is why, it is often said that there
are as many definitions of management as there are authors in the field.
However, the definition given by James A.F. Stoner covers all the important facets of management.
According to him: “Management is the process of planning, organizing, leading and controlling the efforts
of organization members and of using all other organizational resources to achieve stated organizational
goals”. The definition suggests: management is a continuous process.
Several interrelated activities have to be performed by managers
irrespective of their levels to achieve the desired goals;
Managers use the resources of the organization, both physical as well as human, to
achieve the goals;
management aims at achieving the organisation’s goals by ensuring effective use of
resources in the best interests of the society.
It is evident that the emphasis is on achieving the objectives by using material, machinery, money and the
services of men. These inputs are drawn from the environment in which the organization exists. Whether an
organization is engaged in business or non-business, the various inputs are judiciously used to produce the
outputs.
WHAT IS ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR?
Organizational Behavior is the examination of why people behave the way they do in organizations, whether
those organizations are businesses, not-for-profits, athletic teams, volunteer organizations, clubs – any
organization. One way to think of Organizational Behavior is that it is psychology (as well as sociology and
anthropology) applied to how people work.
Organizational Behavior examines how individuals operate in organizations from different lenses. The lens
of personality sheds light on why people act differently in similar situations. The lenses of perception and
diversity shed light on the ways multiple perspectives can make organizations more effective. The lens of
motivation sheds light on the ways money and benefits, a sense of accomplishment, a belief in contributing
to a greater goal can help guide people’s efforts. A health and wellness lens sheds light on the ways a job
influences stress and happiness.
Organizational behavior in the workplace
Organizational Behavior also examines how groups function within organizations. What makes one team
loyal and productive, while another team struggles with strife and ineffectiveness? Leadership, how
someone can get a group (or an organization) to move toward a common goal, is certainly part of this, as is
decision making. Power and conflict are also part of the group dynamics of an organization. Although they
may have unsavory images, both are valuable and necessary for organizations when used effectively.
Why is organizational behavior important?
Organizational Behavior is important because how a firm is managed provides it with something that
distinguishes it from other organizations. Organizations, (especially large companies) all have access to
capital markets (i.e., money), to marketing, to supply chains, to new ideas and services. What determines
why one company becomes a billion-dollar company while another fails? Often, how well it is managed,
how well it is run. In other words: Organizational Behavior.
Learning organizational behavior
Organizational Behavior is not only important for organizations, it is also critical for you as an employee or
manager. Studies show that managing people effectively predicts success in organizations. A study of
managers who failed at AT&T revealed that more than 95% of the failures were due to poor people skills.
Everyone learns about Organizational Behavior through their life experiences. Some people are better at
applying this lifelong learning, at developing emotional intelligence by which they understand and interact
with others. Herb Kelleher, the founder of Southwest Airlines, was fond of saying, “The business of
business is people.” In other words, the business of business is Organizational Behavior.

C. CRITERIA FOR REPORTING:
PRECISION AND CONCISENESS -20%
In a good report, the report writer is very clear about the exact and definite purpose of the report. The
precision of a report provides unity to the report and makes it a valuable document for best usage.

and likely to be misleading.
SIMPLE LANGUAGE AND GRAMMAR -10%
Simplicity is the best for anything. it is just another essential feature of a good report. a good report is
written in simple language, avoiding vague and unclear words. A good report is free from errors. any
faulty construction of a sentence may change its meaning in the reader’s mind and potentially make it
confusing or ambiguous.
PRESENTATION -20%
The presentation of a report is also a factor that should be considered for a good report. the structure,
content, language, typing, and presentation style of a good report should be attractive.
COMPLETE INFORMATION AND FINAL THOUGHTS -30%
The report shows important information. most of this information is analyzed s the basis of importance.
It should have a summary by which the reader of the report can take a decision or stand on a particular
decision. the inclusion of the above factor features or characteristics makes a good report effective and
fruitful.
