• While working in an organization, it is very important to understand others’
behavior as well as make others understand ours. In order to maintain a
healthy working environment, we need to adapt to the environment and
understand the goals we need to achieve. This can be done easily if we
understand the importance of OB.
• Following points bring out the importance of OB −
• It helps in explaining the interpersonal relationships employees share with each
other as well as with their higher and lower subordinates.
• The prediction of individual behavior can be explained.
• It balances the cordial relationship in an enterprise by maintaining effective
communication.
• It assists in marketing.
• It helps managers to encourage their sub-ordinates.
• Any change within the organization can be made easier.
• It helps in predicting human behavior & its application to achieve
organizational goals.
• It helps in making the organization more effective.
• Thus studying organizational behavior helps in recognizing the patterns of
human behavior and in turn throw light on how these patterns profoundly
influence the performance of an organization.

attitudes, values, job satisfaction, learning and motivation

INDIVIDUAL DIMENSIONS OF BEHAVIOUR
Individual behavior can be defined as a mix of responses to external and internal
stimuli. It is the way a person reacts in different situations and the way someone
expresses different emotions like anger, happiness, love, etc.
Individual Behavior Framework
On the basis of these elements, psychologist Kurt Lewin stated the Field theory and outlined the
behavior framework. This psychological theory studies the patterns of interaction between an
individual and the environment. The theory is expressed using the formula
B = F(P,E)
where, B – Behavior, F - Behavior Function, P – Person, and E - Environment around the person.
for example, a well paid person differently when unemployed.

Understanding Personality Type using MBTI
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator provides insights into people’s natural tendencies for
using their minds
The Myers-Briggs is one tool to help understand yourself, coworkers and employees.
The MBTI questionnaire reveals a person’s inborn tendencies in four main categories,
where people prefer to focus their attention and get energy
the way they prefer to take in information
the way they prefer to make decisions
how they orient themselves to the external world — with a judging process or a
perceiving process.
Each category has a corresponding pair of classifications:
Extraversion vs. Introversion (E or I)
Sensing vs. Intuition (S or I)
Thinking vs. Feeling (T or F)
Judging vs. Perceiving (J or P)

The Personality-Job Fit Theory assumes that examining a person’s
personality will give insight into their adaptability in an organization.
Basically, how well they will fit in and work. By matching the right
personality with the right company achieve a better synergy and avoid
pitfalls such as high turnover and low job satisfaction.
Person-Environment Fit: Says that employees seek organisations that are
good match for them (the Organizational culture appeals to them).
They also stay committed to these organisations if the fit is ‘good’.
The Organisational Competencies are defined in order to look at the
requirements of the company which an individual is applying to. The
Individual is then Assessed on these competencies and the competency
fitment between the individual and the company is found out.
The Competencies can be assessed using various tools like
Psychological Tests, Competency Based Interview, Situational Analysis,
Etc.

21. If the Individual is found to be good on competencies defined for the company
using the various tools, the Individual would be able to adjust to the company
environment and work culture and would be able to perform at his Optimum
level, taking the performance to maximum level when required.
Positive interpersonal skills are a personality trait that greatly affects the
workplace. Individuals who exhibit this trait generally enjoy working with other
people, and they have the empathy and sensitivity that enables them to get
along well with others. People with this trait are often placed in roles where they
work with customers, manage employees, or mediate problems.

• Personality & Organisation
Personality plays a key role in organizational behavior because the way that people think, feel, and behave
affects many aspects of the workplace. People's personalities influence their behavior in groups, their
attitudes, and the way they make decisions.
Interpersonal skills hugely affect the way that people act and react to things during work. In the
workplace, personality also affects such things as motivation, leadership, performance, and conflict. The
more that managers understand how personality in organizational behavior works, the better equipped
they are to be effective and accomplish their goals.
People have many different views of the world that affect their personalities. When a situation arises, an
individual will handle it based upon his or her personal values, beliefs, and personality traits. These traits
are developed throughout a person's lifetime and cannot be easily changed, so it is more helpful for
managers to attempt to understand this rather than to fight it.
Traits such as openness, emotional stability, and agreeableness all predict that an
individual will have less conflict, work better in teams, and have positive attitudes about
his or her work. People with this type of personality should be placed in situations
where they would be working with or leading others. Those who do not have these traits
will have less motivation and be more negative when they are placed in these same
situations.
