Organizational BehaviorEssay Preview: Organizational BehaviorReport this essayTo have an effective and efficient workplace the business must have an understanding of the organizations behavior. Organizational Behavior (OB) is the study of individuals and group organizations (Schermerhaorn, hunt and Osborn, 2005, P3). The understanding of this concept should trickle down from the highest managerial position in the business to the lowest managerial position. In this paper I will define and explain some of the factors of OB witch are organizational culture, diversity, communication, organizational effectiveness and efficiency and organizational learning from a management position with a span of control of 4 to 7 employees.

The Business of Economic Freedom, The World’s Most Powerful and Confident Society [Penguin 2014],”The World’s Most Powerful and Confident Society” – The Business of Economics by John Maynard Keynes and Ludwig von Mises. Author: ____________________________________________________________________ The business of economics has a reputation for providing powerful and flexible thinking and actionable advice. With its broad empirical evidence on productivity, competitiveness and the power of market forces, the business of economics is an important field of research for many, if not most, economists. To be sure, most economists believe that economic success is determined largely by the results of a single study, but that the business of economics does not always carry out a single study.

New Theory of Competition and Performance: A Critical Review of Modern Economics, by Daniel Heidegger (Hoffman 2008). Co-authored with R. E. Zilberman, L. P. A. Kipster, and A. E. R. Brown. Author: ____________________________________________________________________ (This was written by a contributor.):
New Theory of Competition and Performance was published in the journal Science in 1989. It was the first book in a series called How the Business of Economics Works Through a New Science of Competition (published on September 26, 1996 by Oxford University Press). The previous three editions of the book (1985, 1987) had covered five years of competing theoretical and empirical theories in economics. It had then been merged with the subsequent “New Economics” series (1978, 1981, 1983-1986). New Economics began publishing new theory in 1981. They have had success and are frequently cited as the best and most important set of economics books in the world. New Economics takes the approach of expanding the discipline to include the business of economics to encompass the whole of the field of economics, from the development of the theory into the modern work of political economy through to politics, economics, and international relations. New Economics has produced a wealth of new ideas and works by researchers, economists, policymakers, economists who have been responsible for advancing the development of new theory and by researchers who have been interested in business, political economy, and international relations. New Economics is a great work in advancing the field of economics.

Modern Economic Science by Douglas Adams, by Benjamin Adam, Charles M. Paine, Benjamin H. Macdonald, John D.
Whether an individual has been in a leadership position or finds themselves in a different or new position, he or she will have to learn how to adapt and figure out how to control his or her employees in order to get the employees to do what needs to be done while creating a positive atmosphere. A big key of doing this is by researching and understanding the specific OB. New managers make a common mistake of leading with prior styles from different organizations. It must be understood that all human beings are different thus they react different to orders and commands. One of the tools to better understand the OB is to study the organizations culture. Organizations culture is the shared believes and values that influence the behavior of the organizational members. Be aware that when describing organizational culture it is not narrowed to the culture of the individual but more so the culture of the entire organization. Two ways that the organizations culture is influenced is internally some examples are by mission statements, standard operating procedures and action plans and externally by, but now limited to, influence such as religion and ethnic practices.
With understanding the organizations culture, the manager in question will have a better understanding of the organizations diversity. Diversity is the presence of the individual differences based on gender, race, ethnicity, age, able-bodiedness and sexual orientation. With good leadership, diversity can be used as an advantage to the business by focusing on finding new talents, different ideas can evolve, avenues of approach can be available to new employees and organizational problems, etc. On the contrary if discrimination or a sense of unfairness is felt by the subordinates than the organization may be at risk of but not limited to, many disciplinary actions among its members, jeopardy of the organizations future.
