Assignment task:
How can understanding organizational behavior make a difference within an organization? Is it necessary for employees to know the principles within organizations, and what might be the results if they do or do not have that understanding? As a student in organizational behavior, you now have the answer to those questions.
Part 1: Your Initial Post
In Module 1, you outlined how you justified taking this course as an employee of a struggling organization. Organizational behavior sounded far too vague, and your boss was not instantly convinced that it was worth the company funds to pay for such a course. Now that the course is over, your boss would like a follow-up and a report on the following:
- What are 3 of the greatest take-aways from this course? (You will need to refer to specific topics covered in this course and include in-text citation)
- What things have you learned that could be immediately applied to your organization at either the individual, group, or organizational level that would improve its current processes or behavior? (Include proper citations.)
- What are two trends affecting the future of the workplace? How might these trends affect organizational behavior? (Include proper citations.)
Make sure to provide a rationale for each of your recommendations that include cited evidence.
In your initial post, you are required to reference at least 3 course materials.
Part 2: Connect with Your Classmates' Posts
In your responses to classmates, share additional insights you have gained the importance of various elements of organizational behavior after reading their posts.
