Behavior in organizations By Robert E. Coffey and Anthony G. Athos and peter A. Reynolds ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE
Organizational culture is a concept in the field of Organizational studies and management which describes the attitudes, experiences, beliefs and values of an organization. It has been defined as the specific collection of values and goals that are shared by people and groups in an organization and that control the way they interact with each other and with stakeholders outside the organization.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
Organizational structure describes how jobs tasks are divided and it also describes how groups work in coordination. In modern or new organizational structure the owner handover his work to the professional manager to run his organization and the manager is responsible for achieving their objectives and goals. Organization can achieve their goals by thinking in terms of groups or small group of people, either what they do, or where they to do it or both. E.g. in manufacturing organization some people are doing work and some are thinking. Some are making decision and other is acting on those decisions which are taken before.
TYPES OF STRUCTURE
Tall Structure Flat Structure TALL STRUCTURE The organization which works under the tall structures is characterized by more levels of managers and supervisors. In a tall structure the span of control (no superior should have more then 5 or 6 subordinates) is narrow. Tall structure provide more control and direction from the organization point of view and from the point of view of employees they are more restrictive and the taking of decision is also very few. In tall structure it is easy for the manager to keep in touch with employees and their department because of few subordinates and narrow area to supervise. FLAT STRUCTURE The organization which works under the flat structure have few levels of managers and the span of control in flat structure is wide. In this structure organizers are unable to control and direct the organization due to the wide structure the organizers are unable to keep in touch with employees.
BASIC STRUCTURE
few basic structures are discussed below.
1. FUNCTIONAL STRUCTURE: In a function structure employees work on a function of a specific job in an organization. According to the functional areas the organization is structured. In this structure groups are specialized in similar skills in different areas and organization is coordinated with a top management. 2. DIVISIONAL STRUCTURE: This structure is formed when organization is divided into number of units. This structure is applied in large companies.1 3. MATRIX STRUCTURE: Matrix structure is applied in highly complex organization. Two hierarchical structures are connected with one and other. The organizers of this structure are quick responsive to change in market environment through its project structure. Matrix structure is usually used to produce new product or service.
Organization and Behavior Concepts and Application By Gray and Strave ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE
Organization culture is a pattern of shared basic assumption. It is very important for achieving the goals. Basically culture referred the personality of organization. Organizational change must include not only changing structure but also changing the culture as well. Culture is the set of assumptions, believes, values and ideas that people have about the organization. Organizational structure will deal primarily with the set up of the culture. How management works, which specific responsibilities supervisors have, how a complaints is passed through the ranks. These are all issues within the organizational culture that are directly tied to how organizational structure works. The structure is not limited to those three examples, but it would certainly include all of them. The relationship between organizational culture and structure can be hard to tell apart, but in a fully healthy culture that is exactly what should be expected when all is functioning normally.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
Organization structure normally determines the hierarchy with in the organization. Organization structure works best for them because wrong structure can result in weak communication, weak product development, weak customer service and etc. This structure defines the role and responsibilities of a person in an organization. Companies choose the structure according to the size, location, staff and environment.
TYPES OF STRUCTURES
Tall Structure Flat Structure
TALL STRUCTURE: Organization works in different structure but this decision must be made that in what shape organization will be a tall or a flat. Organization in tall structure has many hierarchical levels and a few employees are responsible in front of each boss. Tall structure have narrow span of control. FLAT STRUCTURE: The organizations which work under a flat structure have few hierarchical levels. Many workers and employees are reporting to one boss. In flat structure the span of control is wide. Employees in flat structure are more satisfied then the tall structure because it is the one of the simplest form of structure.
BASIC STRUCTURE
few basic structures are discussed below. 1. FUNCTIONAL STRUCTURE: Functional structure is one of the most commonly used structures. Under this structure the organization is departmentalized on the basis of the function. By this structure organizations are able to achieve their goals and objectives. 2. DIVISIONAL STRUCTURE: Some organizations work under the divisional structure. In this structure organizations are divided into division. Each division works as its own unit and as a profit center. 3. MATRIX STRUCTURE: In this culture employees are chosen from different department to work on specific project. This structure is not easy to manage. Most of the expert recommended that matrix structure be used only when necessary.
a good culture and they have the good social norms, values and ethical behavior so culture automatically control behavior .Culture is develop by good social norms, good contents, good peer group and culture cannot be reinforced, it is link with the inner behavior and change is also continuous process. In organization good and positive behavior controls the culture aspects. Culture also pushes the member to behave in a way that is counter to the formal mission and goals of organization but it can be changed through inter personal skills and good behavior. In organization good, positive and progressive culture and structure is shared among the people. Organizational structure is the way in which the interrelated groups within and organizations are set up to allow them function smoothly from a large stand point. The two main purpose of successful organizational structure is to ensure effective communication between various parts of the company, as well as to increase coordination between different departments.
idea. They help each other and also solve the problems of organization. A fully healthy organizational culture and structure is exactly what should be expected when all is functioning normally.

Leadership Styles and Motivation Theories Management A Global Perspective (11th edition) By Heinz Weihrich and Harold Koontz
Leadership: Leadership is the art or process of influencing people so that they will strive willingly and enthusiastically to words the achievement of group goals" 'Pg 396' An Important feature of leadership is its style which may be defined as the manners of a leader of dealing with the people and the methods of handling various situations and circumstances, problems and crises, changes and upheavals etc that may arise in an organization, systems and processes. There are number of leadership styles which are adopted by the leaders. From this book we conclude that on the bases of authority there r three basic styles used by the leaders
Leadership Styles
Autocratic Style: In this style all the power is in the hand of the leader he has the authority from making decisions and sating ogles to give or with draw punishment and rewards. Where as some autocratic leaders may act as benevolent autocrats. Democratic Style: This style is also called participative style. This style is based on consultation in this style of leadership; leaders make decisions in consultation with sub-ordinates. In this style authority is distributed and decision making is sheared. Free-rein Style: In this style the power or the authority in the hand of the leader is very little wile the subordinates are independent to set their goals and make their decisions. Leader is limited to the meters of the out side and he has to provide information and resources for his workers to increase output.
about his workers. People Oriented Style: In this style of leadership the leader is concurrent more with the problems of workers and tries to keep good relations with them. While he is not interested in out put. In this book this is also said that the use of any style is dependent on the situation Motivation Motivation is a general term applying to the entire class of drives, desires, needs, wishes and similar forces. Motivation Theory: McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y: In theory X and theory Y McGregor has given two sets of assumptions about the nature of people. According to him there are two approaches or infect two management philosophies based on human behavior which he has explained briefly in his theory. Y. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory: Maslows theory has five categories, Physiological needs, and security needs, affiliation or acceptance needs, esteem needs, and need for self-actualization. This theory holds that human needs form a hierarchy ranging from the lowest order needs to the highest order needs. This theory also says that when one set of needs is satisfied, this kind of need ceases to be a motivator. Alderfer's ERG Theory: This theory has three categories there categories 1) Existence needs 2) relatedness needs 3) growth needs. He suggests that a person may be motivated in more then one category at the same time. Herzberg's two Factors Theory: He says that there are two sets of motivating factors. In one set they are dissatisfies, which are related to the jobs context (circumstances, conditions). The absence of these factors results in dissatisfaction. In other set are the satisfiers, or motivators, which are related to the content of the job. They include achievement, recognition, challenging work, advancement and growth in the job. The Vroom's Expectancy Theory of Motivation: According to him people will be motivated to do things to reach a goal if they believe in the worth of that goal and if they can see that what they do will help them in achieving that goal. Equity Theory: This theory stats that people will be batter motivated if they think they are being treated fairly and feel de motivated if they think they are treated unfairly. Skinner's Reinforcement Theory:
In this theory it is said that individuals can be motivated by proper design of their work and by praise for their performance, wile punishment for power performance produces negative result. McClellands Needs Theory of Motivation: In this theory McClellands has identified three types of basic motivating needs are need for power, need for affiliation and need for achievement.
activities will help them in the achievement of goal and as effort is influenced by the value of reward, there for, people are motivated much to work hard if they are assured they are being treated fairly in terms of cash rewards and the incentives but if they think they are treated unfairly and they are not gating as much rewards as much they are making efforts so they are de-motivated. From these theories we also conclude that workers should be continuously praised for their efforts so that their sprit of work won't get low. Leadership Styles: the use of any style is dependent on the situation.
busy and attaining high standards of quality. If they do not do this then workers are relax and do not complete their work in time. If they do not achieve their tasks in time which they are given so then they also have to be punished. By demoting them or cutting salaries etc. Because they have enough employs to work for them so they dont care about employees they only care about their production
fear, penalty and other bullying methods for enhancing work and production .

BEHAVIOR OF INDIVIDUALS
Factors that influence Individual behavior at work Organizational Behavior Concepts and Experiences By Marshall Sash kin and William C. Morris
Personality: Personality is the behaviors and techniques for solving problems that are used by an individual .personality are the individual as culture is to the group personal beliefs, expectations, desires, values and behaviors that drive from the interaction between culture and the individual. Perception: Perception is differs from sensations which is the impact of some stimulus on some receptors. Perception in selection: The main point here is that we pay attention to various inputs which are selected. Some of the inputs are automatically selected while other have impact but may not be perceived. Perception in organization: An organization affects individual in terms of what information is present as potential input. Attitude: Attitudes are tendency to responds in a particular way towards a specified class of object. It is something which cannot be measured directly because it is inside the people. Co-operation and Conflict: The number of people working together and cooperating on a task will produce better results then the same number of people who working alone. Co-operation inspires teamwork. Conflicts plays large role in most peoples live. Conflict occurs due to new ideas, practices and solutions to problems because people differ in the appearances, attitudes, goals. Conflict is necessary for the growth and development of individual, groups and organizations. Communication: Communication requires that all parties understand a common language that is exchanged with each other. The effective use of communication skills such as active listening and helpful feedback depends on a supportive communication climate. Research indicated that structure communication affects both the speed and quality of work and also feeling of people.
Behavior in organizations
Personality: Personality can be defined as those inner psychological characteristics that both determine and reflect how a person responds to his or her environment. Perception: Perception is defined as the process by which an individual selects or organizes, and interprets into meaning full and coherent picture of the world. Perception in selection: Selection is just one part of perception process. One of the reasons in perception is that we select different stimuli on which to focus such as physical character, need, values, knowledge, feelings and past experience. Perception in organization: Another important aspect of perception is that we tend to fill in missing details to organize our perception. We tend to add data which has been gathered and filtered. Co-operation and conflicts: Co-operation occurs when a group of people work together for a common purpose or benefit. Each of them has to contribute and learn. Reflecting on how well the team is functioning and how to function even better. Conflicts are very common at all levels. It occurs within and between individuals, groups and organizations. But here we will discuss individual level. Some of these goals are manifest while others are latent. Manifest goal is openly stated. Latent goal is often unstated. Behavior of each individual is directed towards various goals. Thus, although we usually think of the consequences of conflict is negative from personal to worldwide but the actual outcomes may be positive. Communication: Communication includes both cognitive and affective elements. Cognitive refers intellectual meaning and affective refers to feelings. To observed and diagnosed the individual behavior is to watch both feelings and ideas. It is also important to hear verbal and non-verbal communication, tone of voice, facial expression and various other behavior movements often communication more than words. How to achieve open, clear communication and freedom to express ideas and feelings whether they be negative or positive. The pattern of communication is also important to satisfy the members and their ability to complete the task.
Recommendations:
Being a manager one should have the responsibility to manage the things in a very appropriate way to grow their business to minimize expenditure and to increase profit of the organization, for his purpose manager want to control the work for which they are responsible. However, they may have to delegate work to their employees, trusting them to do the work properly. The greater the trust a manager has in their employees, the less control manager retains for him/her self. Retaining control could mean a lack of trust. If task is given to employ they should complete it in a given period of time without making any excuse where as if there is any personal problem related to employees family the management should look after it because it will affect employees work. Manager should be there for the employees when they need him and manager should give their full attention to employees so they will take interest in their work. If employees do not perform well then manager should be responsible and accountable to owners as well as to auditors and all regulatory authorities but non-cooperate employees should also suffer from the consequences. The most important factor of evaluating a manager is to know how they manage to make their employees think well about themselves. If employees feel the environment is friendly then they become more productive.
CHAPTER: 4
GROUPS AND GROUP DYNAMICS
Group:
Groups is the smallest unit of organization .It is the close relation on which it depends can not be formed more than dozen of people. Group is widely recognized as an important sociological unit of Analyze in the study of organization behavior. Group studying is valuable when the dynamic is analyzed. Group dynamic are the interaction and forces among groups members in social situation. When the concept is applied to the study of organizational behavior then the focus is the dynamic of both formal and informal work group.
TYPES OF GROUPS
FORMAL GROUP Formal and Informal groups are most directly applicable. There are many formally designated work groups such as, committees in the modern organization .the functional departments committees (finance, marketing, operations and human resource) and now cross functional team is example. IN FORMAL GROUPS These groups are form for political, friendship, or common interest problem, for political purpose. The in formal groups may form to attempt to get its shares of rewards or limited resources .Friendship groups may form on the job and carry on out side the work place. Common interest in sports or ways to get back at management can also bind members into informal groups.
GROUP FORMATION More established social psychology explanation for group formation there are also some generally recognized stages of group formation. FORMING Groups members are not sure about the purpose, structure and task etc. STORMING There may be considerable disagreement among the members about rules and duties. NORMING Finally at this stage the member begin to settle into cooperation. PERFORMING This is the stage where the group is fully functioning and devoted effectively the task agreed on in the normal stage. ADJOURNING This represents the end of group which is on going; permanent group will never be reached. Once the objective is accomplished the group will have a new composition and the stages will start over and again. An alternative model that has most recently been proposed as an explanation for group formation process called punctuated equilibrium model. According to this approach group form in the first phase in a target or mission is set and then or not uttered easily due to process called inertia or systemic resistance to change.
