Organizational Behavior is the study of the way that individuals, and workgroups, act in organizations. Organizational behavior theory interprets relationships in terms of sets of individuals that range from a single individual through the entire company. The purpose of organizational behavior study is to understand, and build, better relationships through the achievement of company goals and objectives, in addition to social objectives.
There are four major models, or frameworks, that account for the range of employee experiences in organizations:
- Custodial Organizational Behavior - This model is built upon economics, with leadership emphasis on money.
- Autocratic Organizational Behavior - This model is built upon power, with leadership emphasis on authority.
- Collegial Organizational Behavior - This model is built upon partnerships, with leadership emphasis on teamwork.
- Supportive Organizational Behavior - This model is built upon guidance, with leadership emphasis on supporting employees.
