This series of articles has developed a number of views on organisation behaviour and how current knowledge on the subject can be used to improve training and development in industrial organisations. The series has been an attempt to focus the reader's attention towards the critical need for us as trainers to understand why organisations are as they are and what causes them to behave as they do. Organisation behaviour as a subject is therefore about understanding, or attempting to understand, the complexity of the relationships that exist in the collectivity of people and things that we call ‘...

There is growing body of literature which offers reviews of the concepts of organised crime and political vio- lence, while documenting the official efforts to address such concepts jointly and treat them as a single issue. It would be intriguing to investigate how members of organised criminal groups and violent political groups re- spectively react to such official efforts. In my own memory, when the ‘mafiosi’ happened to share a prison in- stitution with members of the Red Brigades, they would steer away from those idealist Communists who got nothing out of killing. The former, when overcom...

Purpose: Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) is defined as individual’s behavior that is discretionary, not directly or explicitly recognized by the formal reward system, and it promotes the efficient and effective functioning of the organization. Though there are findings on the determinants and consequences of organizational citizenship behavior, criticisms are raised against them. Sometimes they are inadequate to explain the framework of organizational citizenship behavior. The study examines the relevance of OCB in Indian organizations and proposed a new theoretical framework for fut...

So far in this series the emphasis has been on organisation theory and how it may he used to examine the organisation. With this article the emphasis changes and we start to examine specific aspects of organisation behaviour and how these are influenced by the organisation itself. In this article Charles Handy examines appraisal and identifies the dilemmas inherent in designing appraisal systems. He then discusses the appropriateness of differing approaches in appraisal to two organisational styles.

The actual shape of organisations is very much an unintended affair, not a conscious design by any group of managers, of union representatives, or any other single group. We should try to imagine that organisations contain several major groupings, some of which are members of coalitions, and others who represent an opposition. All play their part — albeit unintended. Further, the organisation is shaped by both past decisions and by the images which people have of the future.

Understanding organizational behavior (OB) has profoundly influenced organizational performance and how people behave in organizations. Researchers have suggested various micro and macro organizational behaviors to be the impetus for high-performing organizations. Through a policy capturing approach this study builds on these findings by specifically examining the perceptions of micro and macro organizational behaviors in an organizational setting. The participants (n =181) completed a Micro and Macro Organizational Behavior Perceptions Questionnaire. Results showed perception differences exis...

To be effective, regulators need to ensure that firms comply with the rules they set. Compliance in practice depends on a range of factors, including incentives, governance, controls, culture and behavioural issues. This paper considers how regulators can complement an incentive-based ‘credible deterrence’ approach with an approach that uses insights from psychology to change the way that firms make compliance decisions. This involves analysis of behavioural biases, morality, culture and social norms, which have tended to be studied in the context of consumer decision making. Their implication...

In the first article in this series Pat Terry showed that current organisation theory is very much concerned with the organisation within its changing environment. The successful organisation is the one which is able to predict, sense and analyse the implications of changes in the environment and adapt its products, structures, systems and relationships to cope with these changes. Change and coping with it is then a theme of organisation theory and it is also an increasingly dominant thread in the field of training itself. Training can roughly be divided into two areas: • training people to do...

Organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) refers to a general set of behaviours exhibited by employees that are helpful, discretionary, and beyond normal job requirements. Researchers have suggested that high levels of OCB may lead to organisational effectiveness. OCB constructs may generally be organised into seven common themes or dimensions, namely helping behaviour, sportsmanship, organisational loyalty, organisational compliance, individual initiative, civic virtue, and self-development. There are several ways in which OCB may increase organisational performance. Among others, this inclu...

Mounting research evidence suggests that permanently employed employees are increasingly involved in precarious work behavior. This new trend of employment has provoked researchers to center their attention to the reasons leading to this precarity. With regard to this, we hypothesized that organizational justice and perceived organizational support are negatively related to precarious work behavior. Using online survey data on employees who are permanently employed but concurrently doing side business, a cross sectional sample of 179 was gathered. The results found that organizational justice ...

"The Covid-19 crisis has forced many employees to telework (TLW). TLW can eventually generate a feeling of professional isolation (PI) for some workers and the higher the TLW, the higher the feeling of PI (Golden, 2008). PI is known to have negative impacts on organisational and teleworker outcomes such as job satisfaction (e.g., Bentley et al., 2016) or the adoption of organisational citizenship behaviours (OCBs) (Mulki and Jaramillo, 2011). OCBs are largely influenced by the organisational psychological ownership (OPO) (Zhang et al., 2021) which also influences organisational identification ...

In preparing guidelines and considering implementation of proven care policies, ESO pays particular attention to relevant research findings that can prompt working groups to be set up for new clinical guidelines.

The present study explored the issue of organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) as a context-related phenomenon, from a multidimensional perspective. More specifically, it was hypothesized that organizational learning (structures and learning values) would be positively related to (a) OCB that benefited the organization as a whole (OCBO) and (b) OCB that immediately benefited particular individuals (OCBI). The hypotheses identified the school as the unit of analysis; so all variables were aggregates of individual responses to the organizational level of analysis. Justification for aggregati...

This paper aims to review a number of studies on organisational culture and organisational commitment. However, only articles published from 2012-2017 were reviewed. The reviewed literatures showed different conclusions. Most of the studies confirmed that strong significant interactions exist among organisational culture and organisational commitment but in some the association is weak. Other studies showed no association among organisational culture and organisational commitment. This controversy of conclusions emanates from differences in methodology; countries conducted the study and the nu...

the psychologist, and the wage and salary administrator must each participate in the examination of compensation. Theory and research must be blended with the records of actual practice in the industrial environment. In any theory of managerial motivation there must be agreement concerning the definitions of management and motivation -definitions that can explain the relationship of the two words to each other-since these terms are not mutually exclusive. Unfortunately, the authors never do reach an adequate definition of management', which is described in such vague terms as "firstline superv...

This study examined the impact of transformational leader behaviours on organisational citizenship behaviours in small organisations, and the potential mediating role played by subordinates’ trust in the supervisor and perceptions of procedural justice. Moreover, a second – alternative – model tested whether other leader behaviour, like fair behaviour of the supervisor, has an influence on organisational citizenship behaviours. This study was conducted among five small companies, with between 23 and 32 employees, in the east of the Netherlands.
