Document Summary

Organizational behaviour: field of study devoted to understanding, explaining, and ultimately improving their attitudes and behaviours of individuals and groups in organizations. A strong organization develops their respective corporate cultures in such a way as to unleash these talents of their people to achieve important organizational goals. The two primary outcomes in organizational behaviour are job performance and organizational commitment. Got the job done, without having to be managed or reminded. Adapted when something needed to be changed or done differently. Was always a "good sport," even when bad things happened at work. Attended optional meetings or functions to support colleagues. Helped new co-workers or people who seemed to need a hand. Followed key rules, even when the reasons for them were not apparent. Felt an attachment and obligation to the employer for the long haul. Did not get the job done, even with a great deal of hand-holding.
