COURSE OVERVIEW: Why should we study Organizational Behavior? We will explore the answer to this question throughout this semester. Briefly, the importance of Organizational Behavior lies in the fact that it helps us understand organizations. It is not just important for individuals who are trying to enter the fields of Human Resource Management or Business Administration, it is important for any individual who plans to work in an organization. Organizational behavior increases individual understanding of how people work in organizations, how they interact with the organization and with each other, and as an employee how can they improve individual satisfaction and organizational productivity. In short, Organizational Behavior studies individuals, groups, and organizational structures and how they interact with each other. This being said, it would also be pertinent to add that Organizational Behavior is a very vast subject and it would almost be impossible to cover it extensively in one semester. Therefore, the purpose of this course is to give you a basic understanding of the field and to provide you with basic...

... A standard method of classifying power is based on whether the power stems from the organization or the individual. 1. Legitimate Power. Power granted by the organization is referred to as legitimate power. This power increases as one moves up the organization ladder. 2. Reward Power. The authority to give employees rewards for compliance is referred to as reward power. 3. Coercive Power. The power to punish for noncompliance is referred to as coercive power. It is based on fear. 4. Information Power. Having formal control over information that people need to do their work is referred to as information power. B. Personal Power Three sources of power stem from characteristics or behaviors of the power actor: expert power, referent power, and prestige power. All are classified as personal power because they are derived from the person rather than the organization. Prestige power is the power stemming from one’s status and reputation. C. Power Stemming from Ownership The strength of ownership power depends on how closely the owner is linked to shareholders and board members. A leader’s ownership power is also associated with how...
