Organizational Behaviour

OBJECTIVES & HYPOTHESIS

Primary Objective : To prove people with higher communication skills are accepted more within an organization

Hypothesis : H0 : Better communication helps in better acceptability of people within an organization H1 : People with work experience have better acceptability in an organization H2 : People who are involved in various clubs and committees have better acceptability in an organization

PICTORIAL DEPICTION - WORKING

Communication
(Independent Variable)

Leads to

Acceptability
(Dependent Variable)

Let A has a high communication skill and B has poor communication skill Considering, Communication = f(initiative, punctuality, openness, creativity, jovial, focused, confidence, public speaking). More the strength of the variables, more is the communication and more is the acceptability of the person. Acceptability in a group might be unidirectional due to disparate communication.

As seen in fig 1, A is accepted by B(as well as C,D,E,F,G), but the reverse is not true. As inferred from fig 2, B is accepted by G,C and D but not A.

METHODOLOGY
The whole survey has been carried out within BIM campus. Important Parameters :Sample = Students of PGP1, PGP2 Sample Size = 55 Tools used = SPSS 16.0, Ms Excel, Ms Word Statistical applications Univariate analysis : Measures of central tendency (mean, median mode) Dispersion(range, quartiles) Graphical/tabular format(Histogram) Bivariate analysis : correlation , regression analysis, Covariance.

Flow of Survey :
i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) vii) viii) Formulation of Objective and Hypothesis. Preparation of questionnaire and scorecards. Online survey within the campus Collection and aggregation of data Comparison with scorecard. Data Analysis using statistical tools and applications. Interpretation of results. Acceptance./ rejection of null hypothesis.
Organizational Behaviour

MAJOR FINDINGS
There is a high correlation (72.9%) between communication and acceptability. Thus the Null Hypothesis can be accepted. Significance level <5% Observed regression value (R2) is as follows : Males = 79% Females = 68%, Total = 11%

Result : Correlation and the strength between two facts is significantly high According to the survey, o 68% of the sample has work experience and they have a better degree of acceptability than others in an organization o 59% of the sample surveyed are from PGP 2 and it was found that they have a better acceptability o 89% of the sample surveyed are part of some committee or club at BIM and it is observed that they have better acceptability
