Understanding Organizational Behavior

People sometimes believe that OB is simply a collection of common sense ideas because the theories can seem obvious. So if it is all common sense, why do we need OB research? And why do we need to study these theories? The answer is that common sense isn’t so common. People don’t always agree. If ten different people see the same leadership interaction you may find ten different “common sense” perspectives on what leadership is and how it works. Even if you don’t find ten different perspectives, you will certainly not find perfect agreement on the same phenomenon. Another answer is that common sense is not always right. Findings may seem common sense after the research is done, but beforehand we don’t really know what is going on. So it isn’t just common sense. We need science and research because it is built on careful and systematic testing of assumptions and conclusions. This process allows us to evolve our understanding of how things work and it allows us to learn when goals, confidence, satisfaction, cohesion, and rewards affect outcomes and why it happens. That is why you need to learn the theories and why you can’t just operate on common sense. Organizational behavior (OB) is the study of human behavior in organizational settings, of the interface between human behavior and the organization, and of the organization itself. Rather than relying on experience or intuition, or just assuming that ideas are correct because they seem to make sense, the scientific method relies on systematic studies that identify and replicate a result using a variety of methods, samples, and settings. A statistical technique called meta-analysis is used to combine the results of many different research studies done in a variety of organizations and for a variety of jobs. The goal of meta-analysis is to estimate the true relationship between various constructs and to determine whether the results can be generalized to all situations or if the relationship works differently in different situations.
