Organizational Behavior Agenda • • • • • Establish realistic expectations about course Get to know me Discuss what OB is and why it is important Review syllabus Discuss why a scientific approach will be used What is Organizational Behavior • A relatively new field of scientific study • Concerned with human behavior that occurs in work settings • Began by borrowing from other social sciences such as psychology and sociology • Scientific study of the behavior and attitudes of both individuals and groups within organizations Mini-History of OB: Scientific Management and Human Relations Scientific Management Approach •The role of “people” in economic success and failure undervalued for a long time because of scientific management’s emphasis on efficiency •Taylor: Workers as extensions of machines, interchangeable parts, and pigiron handling study. Time and motion study. Taylor’s Four Managerial Principles • • • • Select workers Train systematically Motivate workers to want to perform Discover the most efficient way to do the job Others in Sc. Mgmt: Gantt, Frank & Lillian Gilbreth Employees a necessary evil—minimize human variation Human Relations Approach People were appreciated more fully with the advent of this approach Lessons from the Human Relations Approach • Hawthorne Studies & Hawthorne Effect --something common sense would not predict • Other factors beyond pay & physiological conditions (e.g., light) influence productivity • These factors are social and/or psychological in nature (e.g., 9/11) • Behavior is not always rational OB is the scientific study of the behavior and attitudes of both individuals and groups within organizations Why is OB important? • Employees can be a source of competitive advantage. (Natural tendency to think one’s discipline is the most important in business, but nearly all successful leaders emphasize human factors). • Attracting & retaining talent increasingly difficult – More frequent employee-initiated job changes – Mergers, acquisitions, downsizings • Developing/maintaining favorable work attitudes and behaviors a constant struggle Why is OB important? • Team-based work systems require collaboration • Impact of undesirable work attitudes is increasingly well documented—text calls this “deviant workplace behavior” Outcomes of “Bad” Employee Attitudes Organizational Performance Job Satisfaction Absenteeism Turnover (affects customer satisfaction) • Effort Expenditure • Theft (workplace deviance) • Willingness to be relocated • • • • Performance Increases Using Different Strategies Strategy to Enhance ROI Performance 1. TQM (improve product/service Results Among Firms Using Strategy 15% quality) 15.4% 2. Downsizing or reengineering (reduce payroll) 19.1% 3. Employee Involvement (Attitude Improvement) Summary: Purpose of Course To provide managers with the understanding and skills to manage workrelated attitudes and behaviors Organizational Behavior Course Model OB Outcomes: Attitudes and Behaviors Influenced by Managers Using Effort Job Satisfaction Absenteeism Turnover Stress Workplace Violence Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Commitment Employee Theft Safety and Accidents Sexual Harassment Grievances Application of Individual Differences • • • • • Perceptions Attributions Attitude change Values Personality Group Dynamics Reward Systems Job Design Leadership How Do Managers Determine the “Best Way” to Manage? • Course favors science but realizes there are other ways of determining truth • Unawareness of evidence leads to imitation & adoption of fads • What are the “hot” practices or emerging trends popular among managers today? • Look at some fads over time Management Innovation or “Fad”???? The 1950s & 60s The 1970s The 1980s Theory Y Zero-based Budgeting 1-Minute Manager MBO Strategic Planning Theory Z T (sensitivity) Groups Portfolio Mgmt JIT, TQM The 1990s The 2000s 2010 & Beyond Downsizing Sustainability Relationship Marketing Reengineering Emotional Intelligence Supply Chain Mgmt Employee Empowerment JIT, TQM How Do Managers Determine the “Best Way” to Manage? • Course promotes science but realizes Mgmt is both an art & science • Imitating leads to fad management • Managers must act and they rely on multiple ways of determining truth (epistemologies) that may reach different conclusions. • Sick leave policy example COMMON EPISTEMOLOGIES USED BY MANAGERS 1. Experience 2. Intuition 3. Common Sense or logic 4. Expert testimony/Higher authority/Consultant 5. History or Tradition 6. Science/Evidence-based management Summary • Know your own epistemology (epistemologies) • Appreciate others’ use of alternate epistemological perspectives • Change agents (managers) adapt to others’ epistemologies and use multiple epistemologies • Your preferred epistemology may not be able to answer your question and epistemologies can conflict What does it mean if you say you believe in Science/Evidence-based Management? Characteristics of Science • Empirical • Rational • General – predict – explain • Cumulative – tentative – replication – self-correcting
