Elements of Organisational Behaviour
Elements of Organisational Behaviour People People serve as the backbone of any organisation. They consists of individuals and groups. People are dynamic with multiple sides, behaviours, and preferences as they interact. They influence each other's opinions and attitudes. People's efforts ensure that the organizations keep functioning. Employees are important resources in every company.
Elements of Organisational Behaviour Structure Structures help to define the formal relationships of people within an organization. An organizational structure involves the roles/jobs and relationships of various individuals working in an organization. Departmentalisation, authority delegation, range of control, and centralisation of decision-making are all included in this structure. An organization's structure helps prevent confusion in the work processes and ensures that the right person is assigned to carry out specific tasks. A working structure enables everyone's work in the organization to be directed toward the overall objective and goal.
O rganisation al Structure Organizational hierarchy Authority and responsibility Delegation of authority
Elements of Organisational Behaviour Technology Organisations have technologies for transforming inputs and outputs. These technologies consist of physical objects, activities and process, knowledge, all of which are brought to bear on raw materials labor and capital inputs during a transformation process. Technology is useful for training employees to carry out their duties more excellently. Through technology, employees are provided with machines, tools, resources, and methods designed to enhance their work and decision-making. Technology makes work easier and more effective. But, employees are likely to get used to such systems and find it difficult to do manual work in their absence.
Elements of Organisational Behaviour Environment All organizations operate in an external environment which significantly influences organizational behaviour. Environmental forces influence people's attitudes, motives, and working conditions. Two distinct sets of Environment: Internal Environment: suppliers, customers, competitors, shareholders. Extern al Environment: the economy, politics, technology, social factors, and culture.
