1)Please answer each question with paragraph so that I could organize them later on by
myself.
2)I want the essay mentioned some key words: Power, leadership, politics, build trust,
effective organizational communication strategy( such as Better decision making, Reduce org.
stress, Better performance, Improve Employee Satisfaction, Better brand, Healthier culture,

c. Interpersonal Communication
d. Group Structures & Processes
e. Attitudes & Perceptions
f. Change Processes

h. Work Design
OB is a Field of Study
1) OB was built on contributions from:
- Psychology – personality, emotions, stress (individual focused)
- Social Psychology – group communication and behavior (group focused)
- Sociology – development of structure & social formations (group & organization
focused) - Anthropology – human behavior in society, environment, culture (organization focused)
Management – processes, jobs, people, resources (individuals & organizations)
OB as a Career
- OB executives diagnose organizational problems, develop solutions,
develop game plan to implement solutions, articulate the impact on
organizations from implemented solutions, and predict the
probability of success from each solution.
- OB executives structure their diagnosis of organizations into these
components in order to know their clients
i. Individual – employee performance , motivation, learning
ii. Dyad – managing your boss
iii. Group/Team – team cohesion, norms, conflict
iv. Organization – culture that inspires
v. Industry – competition with other organizations in same
industry - As an OB executive you are seen as a guru of human behavior &
human emotions. You know what motivates people to be their best
vi. So to sell your ideas you need to build a business case –
show evidence or basis for your reasoning whether it’s from the
organization, research study, market analysis
vii. When you have your business case, you have evidence to
make recommendations
viii. The process of analyzing information thru interviews,
observations, research of financial, customer, employee,
organizational data helps you make proper recommendations
and build a business case for change – this requires critical
thinking
ix. Critical thinking involves asking the right questions, in
order to solve the pressing organizational problems
