This document outlines organizational behavior and defines key concepts. It begins by defining organizational behavior as understanding, predicting, and managing human behavior in organizations. It then discusses the origins of organizational behavior in the works of Taylor, Fayol, Mayo, and Drucker. Three theoretical frameworks are introduced: cognitive framework, behavioristic framework, and social cognitive framework. The importance of organizational behavior is also noted as improving skills, motivating employees, understanding human nature, and increasing efficiency and effectiveness.

ORIGIN OF OB
Industrial Evolution
 F.W.Taylor-(1916) – scientific management
 Henry Fayol-(1916)-Principles of governing
behavior
 Elton Mayo-(1920)- Hawthrone’s experiments
 Peter Drucker-(1909-2005)- Modern
management,Innovation
COGNITIVE FRAMEWORK
 Thisframework was introduced by the “Edward Tolman”
 Cognition means the mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding thought, experience and the
senses.
 Behavior is purposive (directed towards a purposes or goal)
 Learning consists of the expectancy that particular event
will leads to particular consequence.

BEHAVIORISTIC FRAMEWORK
 Thisframework developed by Ivan Pavlov and
J.B.Wotson
 Study learning by focusing on observable events, both
environmental and behavioral.
 OB can be explained with help of Stimulus and
Responses.
 Behavioristic framework
classical conditioning theory
operant condition theory (B.F.Skinner)
8.
SOCIAL COGNITIVE FRAMEWORK
Thetheory explains human behavior in terms of
continuous reciprocal interaction among
cognitive, behavioral and environmental
influences.
