Organizations today often encourage change to better the work environment. However, these changes often cause unwanted results, which were not expected. This leads us to observe organizational behavior in hopes of minimizing unwanted and/or negative changes within an organization. Organizational behavior, organizational culture, diversity, communication, is all factors within an organization. These requisites must first be defined in order to create a truly more efficient work environment. My job at Hedrick Elementary School ensures the growth and success by establishing an effective guide, which includes all of the factors of organizational behavior.
Organizational culture, is the organization's past and current assumptions, experiences, philosophy, and values that hold it together, and is expressed in its self-image, interactions with the outside world, and future expectations. It is based on shared attitudes, beliefs, customs, express or implied contracts, and written and unwritten rules or policies that the organization develops over time and that have worked well enough to be considered valid. Furthermore, called corporate culture, it manifests in the ways the organization conducts its business, treats its employees, customers, and the wider community, the extent to which autonomy and freedom is allowed in decision making, developing new ideas, and personal expression, how power and information flow through its hierarchy, and the strength of employee commitment towards shared objectives.

Organizational Behavior is the key aspect to preserve and improve interaction levels amongst employees in the company. Additional attributes like leadership, openness to discuss problems, challenge-initiative are all tied in to this base concept of Organizational Behavior to help the business achieve its strategic and in some cases business objectives
