Chapter Warm-up If your professor has chosen to assign this, go to www.mymanagementlab.com to see what you should particularly focus on and to take the Chapter 1 warm up. Y ou’ve probably made many observations about people’s behavior in your life. In a way, you are already proficient at seeing some of the major themes in organizational behavior (OB). At the same time, you probably have not had the tools to make these observations systematically. This is where OB comes into play. And, as we’ll learn, OB is much more than common sense, intuition, and soothsaying. 1 DESIGN SERVICES OF # 153460 Cust: Pearson / NJ / B & E Au: Robbins/Judge Pg.

Course work in human behavior and people skills received relatively less attention. Since then, however, business schools have realized the significant role understanding human behavior plays in determining a manager’s effectiveness. As the director of leadership at MIT’s Sloan School of Business stated, “M.B.A. students may get by on their techni- cal and quantitative skills the first couple of years out of school. But soon, leadership and communication skills come to the fore in distinguishing the managers whose careers really take off.”1 Incorporating OB principles into the workplace can yield many important organiza- tional outcomes. For one, companies known as good places to work—such as Starbucks, Adobe Systems, Cisco, Whole Foods, Google, American Express, Amgen, Pfizer, and Marriott—have been found to generate superior financial performance.2 Second, develop- ing managers’ interpersonal skills helps organizations attract and keep high-performing employees, which is important since outstanding employees are always in short supply and are costly to replace. Third, there are strong associations between the quality of work- place relationships and employee job satisfaction, stress, and turnover. One large survey of hundreds of workplaces and more than 200,000 respondents showed that social rela- tionships among coworkers and supervisors were strongly related to overall job satisfac- tion. Positive social relationships also were associated with lower stress at work and lower intentions to quit.3 Further research indicates that employees who relate to their managers with supportive dialogue and proactivity find that their ideas are endorsed more often, which improves workplace satisfaction.4 Finally, increasing the OB element in organiza- tions can foster social responsibility awareness. Accordingly, universities have begun to incorporate social entrepreneurship education into their curriculum in order to train future leaders to use interpersonal skills to address social issues within their organizations.5 This curriculum reflects a growing awareness of the need for understanding the means and outcomes of corporate social responsibility.6 We understand that in today’s competitive and demanding workplace, managers can’t succeed on their technical skills alone. They also have to exhibit good people skills. This text has been written to help both managers and potential managers develop those people skills with the knowledge that understanding human behavior provides. ENTER ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR OB’s goal is to We’ve made the case for the importance of people skills.

You might think it difficult to argue against this (what manager would say deci- sions shouldn’t be based on evidence?), but the vast majority of management decisions are made “on the fly,” with little systematic study of available evidence.8 Systematic study and EBM add to intuition, or those “gut feelings” about what makes others (and ourselves) “tick.” Of course, the things you have come to believe in an unsystematic way are not necessarily incorrect. Jack Welch (former CEO of GE) noted, “The trick, of course, is to know when to go with your gut.” But if we make all decisions with intuition or gut instinct, we’re working with incomplete information—like making an investment decision with only half the data about the potential for risk and reward. Big Data It is good news for the future of business that researchers, the media, and company lead- ers have identified the potential of data-driven management and decision making. While “big data”—the extensive use of statistical compilation and analysis—has been applied to many areas of business, increasingly it is applied to making effective decisions and man- BHJOHIVNBOSFTPVSDFT-FUTEJTDVTTUIFSPPUTPGUIJTOFXUSFOEJONBOBHFNFOU XIJDI began over in the marketing department of some of the first online retailers. It’s difficult to believe it now, but it was not long ago that companies treated online shopping as a virtual point-of-sale experience: shoppers could browse websites anony- mously, and sales data were tracked only on what shoppers bought. Gradually, though, online retailers began to track and act upon information on customer preferences that was uniquely available through the Internet shopping experience, information far superior to data gathered in simple store transactions. This enabled them to create more targeted marketing strategies than ever before. The bookselling industry is a case in point: Before online selling, brick-and-mortar bookstores could collect data about book sales only to create projections about consumer interests and trends. With the advent of Amazon, sud- denly a vast array of information about consumer preferences became available for track- ing: what customers bought, what they looked at, how they navigated the site, and what they were influenced by (such as promotions, reviews, and page presentation). The chal- lenge for Amazon then was to identify which statistics were persistent, giving relatively constant outcomes over time, and predictive, showing steady causality between certain inputs and outcomes. The company used these statistics to develop algorithms that let it forecast which books customers would like to read next. Amazon then could base its wholesale purchase decisions on the feedback customers provided, both through passive methods and through solicited recommendations for upcoming titles. The use of big data for managerial practices is a relatively new area but one that holds convincing promise. A manager who uses data to define objectives, develop theo- ries of causality, and test those theories can determine which employee activities are relevant to the objectives.9 However, we’re not advising that you throw your intuition, or all the business press, out the window. In dealing with people, leaders often rely on hunches, and sometimes the outcomes are excellent. Other times, human tendencies get in the way. Research findings indicate we are likely to be biased toward information that we’ve heard most recently, that has been frequently repeated, or that is of personal relevance. While research findings should be viewed with the same discernment as data output, the prudent use of big data, along with an understanding of human behavioral DESIGN SERVICES OF # 153460 Cust: Pearson / NJ / B & E Au: Robbins/Judge Pg.

What we are advising is to use evidence as much as possible to inform your intuition and experience. That is the promise of OB. DISCIPLINES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE OB FIELD Organizational behavior is an applied behavioral science built on contributions from a Several social science number of behavioral disciplines, mainly psychology and social psychology, sociology, disciplines contribute and anthropology. Psychology’s contributions have been principally at the individual or to OB, but none are more important than micro level of analysis, while the other disciplines have contributed to our understanding psychology. of macro concepts such as group processes and organization.

No. 5 PMS Short / Normal / Long S4-CARLISLE Title: Essentials of Organizational Behavior 13/e Publishing Services 6 1BSU r 1SPMPHVF Psychology Psychology seeks to measure, explain, and sometimes change the behavior of humans and other animals. Contributors who add to the knowledge of OB are learning theorists, personality theorists, counseling psychologists, and, most important, industrial and orga- nizational psychologists. Early industrial/organizational psychologists studied the problems of fatigue, boredom, and other working conditions that could impede efficient work performance. More recently, their contributions have expanded to include learning, perception, per- sonality, emotions, training, leadership effectiveness, needs and motivational forces, job satisfaction, decision-making processes, performance appraisals, attitude measurement, employee-selection techniques, work design, and job stress. Social Psychology Social psychology, generally considered a branch of psychology, blends concepts from both psychology and sociology to focus on peoples’ influence on one another. One ma- jor study area is change—how to implement it and how to reduce barriers to its accep- tance. Social psychologists also contribute to measuring, understanding, and changing attitudes; identifying communication patterns; and building trust. They have made important contributions to our study of group behavior, power, and conflict. Sociology While psychology focuses on the individual, sociology studies people in relation to their social environment or culture. Sociologists have contributed to OB through their study of group behavior in organizations, particularly formal and complex organiza- tions. Perhaps most important, sociologists have studied organizational culture, formal organization theory and structure, organizational technology, communications, power, and conflict. Anthropology Anthropology is the study of societies to learn about human beings and their activities. Anthropologists’ work on cultures and environments has helped us understand differ- ences in fundamental values, attitudes, and behavior between people in different countries and within different organizations. Much of our current understanding of organizational culture, organizational environments, and differences among national cultures is a result of the work of anthropologists or those using their methods.
