Organizational Behavior

Organizational Behaviour is an amazing foundation in how individuals and groups operate within organisations. The book provides clear definitions of key concepts like organizational culture, describing it as the shared values, beliefs, and norms that shape employee behavior and interactions. It delves into employee motivation by explaining formulas such as the expectancy theory, where motivation is a function of expectancy, instrumentality, and valence—the value an individual places on the expected outcome. The authors also explore Maslow's hierarchy of needs, illustrating how employees are motivated by fulfilling a progression of needs from basic physiological requirements up to self-actualization. By presenting these theories alongside practical examples, the book helps readers understand how to apply psychological principles to enhance organizational effectiveness and employee satisfaction.
