Objectives of Organizational Behavior


The main objective of Organizational Behavior is to understand the human
interactions in an organization, find what is driving it and influence it for getting
better results in attaining business goals.

The organizations in which people work affect their thoughts, feelings, and actions.
These thoughts, feelings, and actions, in turn, affect the organization itself.

Organizational behavior studies the mechanisms governing these interactions,


seeking to identify and foster behaviors conducive to the survival and effectiveness
of the organization.

Organization behavior’s objective is to set up an organizational culture, hiring the


best people and creating meaningful connections among them, resolving the
conflicts, developing the qualities of the employees, and establish a firm and clear
leadership chain.

We have identified 8 objectives of organizational behavior;

1. Job Satisfaction
2. Finding the Right People
3. Organizational Culture
4. Leadership and Conflict Resolution
5. Understanding the Employees Better
6. Understand how to Develop Good Leaders
7. Develop a Good Team
8. Higher Productivity

Job Satisfaction

Understanding organizational behavior can shed light on the factors that can foster
or hamper job satisfaction, such as physical settings, organizational rewards and
punishments or work-group characteristics.

Job satisfaction, in turn, can foster higher productivity and reduced turnover, while
providing more leverage for the recruitment of top talent.
Finding the Right People

A ship with all sails and no anchors would flounder, one with all anchors and no sails
would not get anywhere.

Organizational behavior can help find the right mix of talents and working styles
required for the achievement of the task at hand.

This can assist in deciding who to include in a team or task force, as well as in
deciding who to promote to a leadership position or even the ideal profile for new
hires.

Organizational Culture

As organizations grow larger, it may become difficult to keep a sense of common


purpose and unity of direction.

Organizational behavior is useful for understanding and designing the


communication channels and leadership structures that can reinforce
organizational culture.

As rapidly evolving business environments force organizations to adapt, entering, for


example, into global markets or utilizing virtual workforce, organizational behavior
can assist in maintaining a clear identity without losing flexibility and adaptability.

Leadership and Conflict Resolution

Playing by the book and not making waves may be fine for some organizations, but
the command-and-control mentality of the manufacturing age may become
counterproductive in the knowledge market.

Organizational behavior can assist in fostering leadership, pro-activity and creative


problem-solving.

When creativity is allowed, the divergence of opinions is unavoidable, but


organizational behavior can provide the leadership and the arbitrage dynamics
required for turning conflicts into constructive idea exchanges.
Understanding the Employees Better

Organizational behavior studies help us understand why employees behave the way
they do, and also thereby predict how they are going to behave m the future.

Understand how to Develop Good Leaders

Organizational behavior patterns help in predicting who among the employees have
the potential to become leaders.

They also teach us how to mold these employees so that their leadership potential is
utilized to its fullest.

Develop a Good Team

An organization is only as good as the weakest member of its team. All members of
the teamwork in coordination and must be motivated to work together to achieve
the best results.

The teamwork theories of organizational behavior are an essential tool in the hands
of any manager.

Higher Productivity

All of this leads us to the most important goal of achieving the highest productivity
in realizing the visions and goals of any organization.

If implemented well, the organizational behavior principles help in motivating all the
members to do their best. The levels of motivation can be the difference between a
good and a bad result.

Organizational Behavior has so many objectives by which it serves the organizations,


individuals, groups and in a word all the stakeholders.

Conclusion
