Identify how the use of organizational behavior can lead to the success and failure of an organization?

Employees naturally behave differently at work than they do in social settings, largely due to the structured organizational environment of business. A variety of factors influence organizational behavior, including the company's structure, policies and procedures, management effectiveness and interactions between colleagues. All these elements can inspire employees to work harder or contribute to disengagement. By understanding how to get the best out of your employees, your company can become more productive and competitive. When new employees join your company, the way they act is heavily influenced by the organizational behavior. As employees move to congregate, individuals strive to fit in the environment around them. If your company culture encourages employees to speak up without fear of reprisal, new employees will gain confidence in expressing their ideas, whereas if the culture is to "shoot the messenger," new employees tend to keep their opinions to themselves. You can influence company culture by clarifying your vision and values and putting them into practice daily.

Use Reward Systems

Organizational behavior suggests that employees need other motivational elements to perform to the best of their ability. Employees are most likely to feel motivated when they see a clear link between the effort they put in and the reward they receive. Employees must consider the reward system as fair and equitable to inspire them to increase performance.
