Abstract
As organizations adapt to the challenges of technology, an understanding of organizational behavior theories supports the development of new management and leadership behaviors. There has been a paradigm shift in management, calling for the use of positivity rather than negativity. This shift promotes positive organizational policies and procedures while maximizing resources. According to Bakker, negative approach-based terms influenced organizational culture undesirably, and Luthans and Avolio claim developing a positive organizational behavior framework is a source of an organization's competitive advantage. This article explores the evolving theories of organizational behavior addressing the challenges of technology and change, as well as placing the discussion within the context of seminal theories.
