LO 1.4 Summarize the workplace trends of diversity and the inclusive workplace work-life integration of remote work and emerging employee relationships.

An inclusive workplace values people of all identities and allows them to be fully themselves while contributing to the organization. It views diversity as a valid resource. An organization's workplace has both surface-level diversity (observable demographic & other overt differences in people) and deep-level diversity (differences in personalities, beliefs, values, and attitudes. Inclusive workplaces produce better decisions employee attitudes team performance and a host of other favorable outcomes for employees and the organization. However, diversity also poses challenges such as dysfunctional conflict and slower team development. Work-life integration refers to the degree that which people are effectively engaged in their various work and work roles and have a low degree of role conflict across life domains. Various work and nonwork roles are inherently integrated because the physical cognitive and emotional resources produced or consumed by one role potentially rich or undermine the success and enjoyment of other roles. There are several ways to maximize work-life integration such as doing things that make 2 rolls engage in flexible work scheduling ensuring that work and nonwork rolls are aligned with your personal characteristics and engaging in some degree of boundary management across rolls. An increasing percentage of the workforce performs their job remotely some or all of the time rather than at the organization's physical work site. Some organizations are completely remote- everyone works at home and cafes and the company has no physical head office. Record remotely potentially benefits employees and employers but there are also disadvantages. The effectiveness of remote work depends on the employee's job and organization. Most of the workforce has a direct employment relationship- working as an employee for an organization- but an increasing percentage has more fragile direct employment relationships (part-time, on calls, etc). The largest labor market growth has been indirect (outsourced/ agency) and contract work. Some contractors negotiate their own contracts with the clients whereas others work through branded performance companies (EX. Uber). Those emerging employment relationships have both positive and negative consequences for job performance jobs satisfaction team dynamics self-concept stability and clarity and the ambiguity of managerial roles

LO 1.5 Describe the four factors that directly influence individuals behavior and performance.

Four variables (motivation, ability, role perception, and situational factors) which are represented by the acronym MARS, directly influence individual behavior and performance. Motivation represents the forces within a person that affect their direction, intensity, and persistence of voluntary behavior. Ability includes both the natural aptitudes and the learned capabilities required to successfully complete a task. Role perceptions are the extent to which people understand the job duties (rules) assigned to them are expected of them. Situational factors Include conditions beyond the employee's immediate control that constrained or facilitate behavior and performance.

Organizations

Groups of people who work interdependently toward some purpose

Stakeholders

Individuals, groups, and other entities that affect, or are affected by, the organization's objectives and actions

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Organizational activities intended to benefit society and the environment beyond the firm's immediate financial interests or legal obligations

LO 1.2 Explain why organizational behavior knowledge is important for you and for organizations

Organizational behavior is important for you because it offers a core foundation of knowledge and skill development for your success in organizations. The skills and knowledge that employers look for in new hires, above anything else are the topics found in organizational behavior including problems solving working effectiveness In teams, communication, and leadership. More broadly OB helps you adopt a better personal theory to understand predate and influence organizational events obey knowledge is for everyone, not just managers. OB theories and practices are vital to the organization's survival and success. In fact, most OB theories implicitly or explicitly try to improve organizational effectiveness -an ideal state in which an organization has a good fit with its external environment, effectively transforms inputs to outputs through human capital, and satisfies the needs of key stakeholders. Organizational behavior knowledge is highly relevant to the open system's view of organizations by identifying organizational characteristics that fit some external environments better than others. OB theories offer guidance on how to effectively transform inputs into outputs. OB is also important for organizations because it identifies ways for organizations to develop and leverage The potential of human capital -the knowledge, skills, abilities, creativity, and other valuable resources that employees bring to the organization. Several organizational behavior topics also give us a better understanding of relations with stakeholders- individuals, groups, and other entities that affect or are affected by organizations' objectives and actions. This later force includes the role of personal values (the relatively stable, evaluative beliefs that guide a person's preferences for outcomes or courses of action in a variety of situations) and corporate social responsibility (organizational activities intended to benefit society and the environment beyond the firm's intermediate financial interests or legal obligations).

LO 1.1 Define Organizational behavior & Organizations

Organizational behavior is the study of what people think, feel, and do in and around organizations. It examines how individuals and teams in organizations relate to one another, and how organizations interact with their external environments'. The field of knowledge emerged around the early 1940's, but organizations have been studied by other disciplines for more than two thousand years. Organizations are groups of people who work interdependently toward some purpose. They consist of people who interact with one another in an organized way and have a collective sense of purpose.

LO 1.3 Describe the anchors on which organizational behavior knowledge is based

The systematic research anchor States that OB knowledge should be based on systematic research consistent with evidence basement management. The practical orientation anchors States that obesity is need to be useful in practice such as helping organizations become more effective. The multidisciplinary anchor States that the field should develop from the knowledge and other disciplines (psychology sociology economics) Not just from its own isolated research base. The contingency anchor States that obey theories generally need to be considered that there will be different consequences in different situations. The multiple levels of analysis anchor States that obey topics may be viewed from the individual, Team, and organization levels of analysis.

Open Systems

The view that organizations depend on the external environment for resources, affect that environment through their outputs, and consist of internal subsystems that transform inputs to outputs

LO 1.6 Summarize the 5 types of individual behavior in Organizations.

Patty is the Chief Strategist for CapMatters, Inc. He firmly believes that companies should try and leverage their intellectual capital. This entails three things: (1) they must keep and develop employees who have knowledge which is known as _____________________ capital, (2) turn easily accessible knowledge that they have captured into various systems, and (3) foster high quality relationships with constituents from which true value can be obtained. For example, some employees are hired simply because of the specific facts and skills they have like nuclear engineers or attorneys both of whom are likely to know things that others simply do not. human financial relationship structural inferential

Patty wants to figure out why some people at her job seem unhappy with the boss and other do not. She will measure the workers' personality traits, individual levels of job satisfaction, and satisfaction with their supervisor. Pat believes that this will show that it is differing levels of personal neuroticism that makes them unhappy with their supervisor and that is nothing that can be done to affect this personality trait such that some people will always be unhappy and others will almost never be unhappy. The hypothesis one's innate level of neuroticism predicts one's happiness with their supervisor is at the ______________________ - level of analysis mediator moderator meso macro micro

Patty is just not sure what it is about his company that makes it so susceptible to external forces. He is constantly having to negotiate with vendors and suppliers for favorable prices on his raw materials and is further thwarted by the influence of government agencies and other stakeholder groups (like those pesky employees!) who try to tell him how to run his business. Because so many forces play a role in his transformation of inputs into outputs, Pat needs to view his business from the ___________________________ perspective technological open-systems global closed-systems high performance work systems

Patty is a home builder who builds homes on "spec" or speculation that he will sell them once they're built.

Patty owns a successful building products company that supplies many national retailers with goods like insulation, flooring, and roofing supplies. He believes in three driving forces for his company. First, he must make enough money to cover his expenses and derive a profit. Without profits he cannot satisfy his other driving forces.
