Human Behavior in Organizations Overview

Human behavior in organizations is more appropriately referred to as Organizational Management (OM).

The quality and quantity of output in organizations depend heavily on the person's actions.

Organizational Behavior (OB) only focuses on the study of human behavior within an organization.

The risk of failure in achieving one's goals is often associated with external factors, not human behavior.

Organizational Behavior (OB) focuses on predicting behavior, supporting productive employees, and controlling disruptive ones.

The four elements that operate in OB are people, structure, technology, and environment.

The study of OB does not offer any benefits related to individual or organizational effectiveness.

Development of people skills in OB includes only the skill in doing work.

Technology in the context of OB refers to the physical tools used by employees.

OB is not concerned with understanding why people behave as they do.
