Challenges and Opportunities for OB

Challenges and Opportunities for OB
1. Managing Diversity
- Collective mixture of differences and
similarities
- How differences among individuals are
accepted and respected

Barriers to Accept Diversity
» Prejudice - unjustified negative attitude
towards a person based on his or her
membership of a particular group.
» Ethnocentrism - a tendency to regard one’s
own group, culture, or nation as superior to
others.
-People who are ethnocentric see their
group-related customs or beliefs as ‘right’
and evaluate other, beliefs or practices
against this yardstick.

» Stereotypes - set of beliefs about a group that
is applied universally to all members of that
group.
Stereotyping, whether positive or negative, is
not good because seldom does one statement
hold true for all members of a group.
» Discrimination - barring an individual from
membership of an organisation or from a job
because of his or her membership of a
particular group.

» Harassment - verbally or physically abusing an
individual because of membership of a
particular group.

ORGANISATIONAL MODELS
Models are based on certain assumptions and beliefs
- General assumptions and belief of human
behaviour
- Different department works in different ways
- Models help to identify the organisational pattern
with which it works

AUTOCRATIC MODEL
- Started during the period of Industrial Revolution
- Focuses on power
- Dominant nature
- Formal
- Right of command
Management knows what is best and the employees will have to
listen to the orders and perform the task
Management is involved in thinking process and employees are
involved in executing the process

THE CUSTODIAL MODEL
Employees have some power and they wanted to tell many
things
Management started recognizing the employees work
Giving more consideration to material rewards and security
Creating a mind set in employees to depend on the organisation
for all their needs

THE SUPPORTIVE MODEL
- Supportive Relationship – depends on leadership
- Leader takes the responsibility and motivate the group
members
- Support the employees job performance
By having an effective leader the management helps the
employees in accomplishing the interest of the organisation

THE COLLEGIAL MODEL
- Extension of the supportive model
- Collegial – body of people who have a common purpose
- Importance of team concepts
- Based on two principles – self-actualization and self-
discipline

Both management and the employees work together in achieving
the organisational goals

THE SYSTEM MODEL
- based on trust, self-motivation
- Performance result will be more than expected because
employees are committed to do their tasks
- Depends on trust and understanding
- Passion and commitment
- Spirituality at work – desire for employees to know their
deepest selves better to grow personally, to make
meaningful contribution to society
Organisation – Support employees commitment to short and long
term goals

THE SYSTEM MODEL
“You are an important part of our whole
system. We sincerely care about each of
you. We want to join together to
achieve a better product or service,
local community and society at large.
We will make every effort to make
products that are environmentally
friendly”

❑OB is concerned with work related attitudes:
➢Job Satisfaction
➢Job Involvement
➢Organizational commitment
68

TYPES OF ATTITUDES
Work related attitudes
• Job Satisfaction: ( JS)
• When we talk of employee attitude , more often
we mean job satisfaction.
• JS is an individual’s general attitude towards
her/his job.
• A person with high levels of job satisfaction holds
a positive attitude about the job.
69

Job Involvement : ( JI)
The degree to which a person identifies with his/her
job, actively participates in it, considers his/her
performance important to self-worth
• Individuals with high JI really care about the kind
of work they do
• High JI – quality results -- lower levels of
absenteeism and turnover.

become aware of the situation and will change their
attitude
6. Influence of friends
7. Coopting approach – taking people who are
dissatisfied with a situation and getting them
involved in improving things

9. Rewards
76

Responses to Job Dissatisfaction (Negative
Attitude in Organization)
- Exit – behaviour directed towards leaving the
organization – looking for a new position as well as
resigning
- Voice – attempting to improve conditions –
suggesting improvements, discussing problems with
superiors
- Loyalty – waiting for conditions to improve –
trusting the management and the organisation to do

rate
77

Measurement of Attitude
Five Approaches
Records – observed behavior – attendance, incidents
and interviews
Self Reports – reporting directly about their own
attitudes
Report of Others – information, rating scales and
interviews
Sociometric Techniques – members of a group report
about their attitudes towards one another
Projective Techniques – Picture presentations and
sentence completion
78

1. Thurston Attitude Scales
- Thurstone – Social psychologist
- Pool of opinion statements – positive, negative
and neutral
- 3 Scales
a) Paired Comparisons – Attitude
comparisons be paired in every possible combination
b) Equal-appearing intervals – Statements
given and asked to rate the statements – favourable
to extremely unfavourable
c) Successive Intervals – Extension of Equal-
appearing intervals – Statistical datas instead of
subjective answers
79

2. Likert Scale
- Rensis Likert
- individual is asked to indicate agreement or
disagreement with job factors
- point scale
80

3. Critical Incidents
Developed by Herzberg and his associates
Employees were asked to describe incidents on their
job when they were particularly satisfied or
dissatisfied
81

4. Interviews – Personal Interview
responses reveal their satisfaction and
dissatisfaction
82

(Tuckman’s Five Stage Model of Group
formation and Development)

- Stage ends with interpersonal relationships and
members will start think of themselves as part of a
group
2) Storming –

structure

STAGES IN GROUP DEVELOPMENT
3. Norming –
- a single leader emerges and this results in group
cohesion

– new group standards and roles are formed for
members
4. Performing –
- team work, role clarity and task accomplishment

5. Adjourning – disbandment of group.

Group Size
- Larger groups – idea generation and availability of
resources
- Nature of tasks to be performed
- Ideal group size is 5 to 7 members

Group Norms – are rules or guidelines of accepted
behaviour which are established by a group and
used to monitor the behaviour of its members
- a set of beliefs, feelings and attitudes commonly
shared by group members
- as rules or standards of behaviour that apply to
group members

- Norms serve three functions in groups
a) Predictive b) Control c) Relational
- Norms represents characteristics of groups
-Norms are the basis for behaviour of members in group
-Norms are the basis for predicting and controlling
behaviour of group members

How do Norms Develop ?
Norms develop gradually and informally as
members learn what behaviours are necessary
for the group to function
1. Members past experience from other groups
in other organisation
2. Primacy – the first behaviour pattern that
emerges in a group
3. Critical incident in the life of an organisation
4. Explicit statement made by supervisors or co-
workers themselves
DETERMINANTS OF GROUP BEHAVIOUR

Group Cohesiveness
- Degree of attachment of the members to their
groups
-It is the extent to which the members are
attracted to each other and to the group.
-extent of liking each member has towards
others and how far everyone wants to remain as
a member of the group

Group Cohesiveness is high when:
- the employees spend more time for working
together
- the group size is small
- Group members interact with each other
closely and frequently
- the group members have common threats
- Members agree with the common goals
- There is competition with other groups

Group Cohesiveness
Sources of Cohesiveness
1) Interaction
2) Threat
3) Severity of Initiation – difficulty in getting admission
into a group
4) Co-operation
5) Shared Goals
6) Attitudes and Values
7) Size
Factors contributing to Group Cohesiveness

Group Cohesiveness
Guidelines for attainment of orgl goals from a
highly cohesive group
1. Emphasis on task accomplishment
2. Participative management
3. Intergroup competition
4. Disband the group

Group Status
Status – social position or rank given to groups or
group members by others
Status – social ranking within a group
- title, level of pay, seniority

TEAM
A team is a form of group but it has some
characteristics in greater degree than ordinary
groups, including a higher commitment to group goal
and higher degree of interdependence and
interaction.

CHARACTERISTICS
1. Small Number of People
2. Complementary Skills – Technical or functional
skills, Problem-solving and decision making skills,
Interpersonal skills
3. Common Purpose and Performance Goals
4. Common Approach
5. Mutual Accountability

TYPES OF TEAMS
1. Problem-solving Team –to solve specific
problems which an organisation may facing-
may be from a single dept or more than one
department
- specific problems which cannot be solved by an
individual alone

TYPES OF TEAMS
2. Cross-functional Team – draws its members from
different functional areas –
eg. Committees
Made up of employees from about the same
hierarchical level, but from different work areas
who come together to accomplish a task

TYPES OF TEAMS
3. Self-managed Team – empowered to share various
management and leadership functions – plan
control and improve their own work processes –
set their own goals and inspect their own work
employees given a high degree of decision making
responsibility and behaviour control for
completing their work – team is empowered

TYPES OF TEAMS
4. Virtual Team – use of computer technology to tie
together physically dispersed members in order to
achieve a common goal
– interact among themselves online

Typical Teams in Organisations
5. Quality Circles
- small teams of employees (7 to 10)
- meet few hours each week to identify
quality and productive problems

Implementing Teams in Organisations
A right combination of skilled people and individuals
who are willing to work together with other as a
team
Planning the change – decision to have a team and
implementation
Making the Decision – establish leadership for the
change – explore the organisation’s readiness to have
team based structure

Creating Effective Teams – Context
(background factors that appear to be most significant
related to team performance)
• Adequate Resources – support received from the
organisation
• Leadership and Structure – who is to do what – ensure
that all members contribute equally in sharing the
workload – Leader’s expectation
• Climate of Trust – effective teams trust each other –
facilitates cooperation, reduces the need to monitor
each others’ behaviour
• Performance Evaluation and Rewards – individually and
jointly accountable – remuneration and performance –
group based appraisals, group incentives

Creating Effective Teams – Composition
(variables that relate to how teams should be staffed)
• Abilities of Members – knowledge, skills and abilities of
its individual members
Problem solving and decision making skills, technical
expertise, Interpersonal skills
• Personality – extroversion, agreeableness,
conscientiousness and emotional stability
• Roles – Teams have different needs and people should
be selected for a team to ensure that all various roles
are filled

• Diversity – variety of skills and knowledge
• Size – 5 to 7 members – cohesiveness and mutual
accountability – more members will lead to social
loafing
• Social Loafing
– The tendency for individuals to expend less effort
when working collectively than when working
individually.
– To reduce social loafing, teams should not be larger
than necessary, and individuals should be held
accountable for their actions.

• Member Flexibility - members who can complete each
other’s tasks
• Members’ Preference for Teamwork – High performing
teams are likely to be composed of people who prefer
working as part of a group

RENSIS LIKERT’S 4 –SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
-theory was formed based on the study conducted by
Rensis Likert and his associates at the University of
Michigan, USA for a period of 3 decades.

Likert has classified four systems of management
System 1 – Exploitative-authoritative
System 2 – Benevolent-authoritative
System 3 – Consultive
System 4 – Participative group or democratic

System 1 – Exploitative-Authoritative
-highly Autocratic
-Decision is centralised in the hand of the leader who
has little trust in subordinates
-leader motivates subordinates through
fear,punishment etc and resorts to rewards only
occasionally.
-only downward communication from the leader to
the subordinates.

System 2: Benevolent-authoritative
-leader is a bit lenient autocrat
-gets some ideas and opinions from subordinates
-leader thinks that he is more important and intelligent than
subordinates
-allows limited delegation of authority within close control
-motivates subordinates with some rewards and some fear and
punishment
-permits some upward communication that is from subordinates to
the leader

System 3 : Consultive
-the leader has substantial trust in subordinates
-makes constructive use of subordinates ideas and
opinions
-broad policies and general decisions are made at the
top with specific decisions to be made at lower
levels
-motivation consist of rewards and occasional
punishments
-Communication system is two-way

System 4: Participative-group or democratic
-the leader has complete confidence and trust in subordinates in all
matters
-always gets ideas of subordinates and constructively uses them
- gives economic rewards to subordinates on the basis of group
participation in goal setting
- Both upward and downward communication
- Leader always encourages group approach to decision-making
throughout the organisation

MANAGERIAL GRID OR LEADERSHIP GRID
-based on research studies undertaken regarding the
behaviour of leaders at the Ohio-State University and
the University of Michigan-developed by Robert Blake
and Jane Mouton
-revealed that there were two broad dimensions of
leadership behaviour
They are
1. Initiating structure or task oriented behaviour
2. Consideration or employee-oriented behaviour

BEHAVIOURAL THEORIES OF LEADERSHIP
-Initiating structure or task oriented behaviour –
leaders closely supervises subordinates to
ensure that the task is performed in a
satisfactory manner and behaves like an
autocratic leader.

-Consideration of employee-oriented behaviour
– leader adopts an attitude of friendship and
trust towards subordinates and behaves like a
democratic leader

The management grid identifies various
alternative combinations of both basic styles
that is concern for production and concern for
people.
-These combinations are put in the horizontal
and vertical dimensions of the grid having a
scale from 1 to 9

-the grid has 81 possible combination out of
which Robert Blake and Mouton have
concentrated only on five combination

They are
a) (1,1) – Impoverished Leadership style
b) (9,9) – Team leadership style
c) (5,5) – Middle of the road leadership style
d) (1,9) – Country club leadership style
e) (9,1) – Task leadership style

a) Impoverished leadership style (1,1)
Managers have very little concern for either people or
production
-act as messengers communicating information from
superior to subordinate
-This style of leadership behaviour is also called laissez-
fair style.

b) Team leadership style (9,9)
-leader has highest dedication to both people and
production
-leader tries to meet production needs with needs of
individuals
-experienced managers prefer this style of leadership

c) Middle of the Road leadership style (5,5)
-medium concern for people and production
-tries to get adequate performance out of subordinates
through maintaining a balance between work
requirements and satisfactory morale of employees

d) Country Club leadership style (1,9)
-leader has little concern for production and maximum
concern for people
-to give a friendly and comfortable organisational
atmosphere

e) Task leadership style (9,1)
-leader is concerned only with development of efficient
production operations
-little or no concern for people
-leader behaves as an autocrat
-efficiency results from arranging work in such a way
that human elements have little effect.

ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE
process by which organisations move from their
present state to some desired future state to
increase their effectiveness
Three components
- The historical evolution of the company
- The management of the company
- The people who work for the company

Characteristics/Nature of CHANGE
- vital if a company were to avoid stagnation
- a process and not an event
- normal and constant
- fast and is likely to increase further in the
present competitive business
- ‘directive’ – implemented by top down
management or ‘participative’- involving those
parties impacted by change
- is ‘natural’ or ‘adaptive’
- Step by step process
- Interdependent on organisational environment
or culture

Factors influencing Organisational Change
External Forces
Globalization – MNCs – Joint venutres – has
made organisations to rethink the boundaries of
their markets and to encourage their employees
to think globally
Workforce Diversity – Expectations of people
Technological Change – methodology of work,
change in organisational structure
Managing Ethical Behaviour – product safety,
employee health, sexual harassment, etc etc
Others – government policies, competition etc

Factors influencing Organisational Change
Internal Forces
• Falling Effectiveness – incurring loss
• A Crisis – Critical incidence in the organisation
• Differing Employee Expectations – Young
employees – career-oriented
• Change in the work climate of an
Organisation – structure, productivity, policies

Levels of CHANGE
Individual-level Change – change in job
assignment, physical move, change in self
Group-level Change – Activities on a group basis –
departments or informal work groups – affect
work flows, communication pattern etc
Organisation-level changes – involve major
activities affecting both individual and groups –
require considerable planning for
implementation – Organisational Development

CHANGE PROCESS
Becoming Aware of the Pressure for Change
Internal and External
Recognizing the Need for Change
Diagnosing the Problem
To determine how it may affect the company and
its consequences – through Interviews,
questionnaires, Observations, other data

CHANGE PROCESS
Planning the change
Formulate a strategy for change
Implementing the Change
Resistance to Change
Managing Resistance
Education and communication, Participation and
involvement, Support, etc
Follow-up on the Change
Evaluate the effects of the change and to
implement modification if needed

Resistance to CHANGE
Individual level Resistance to Change
1. Economic Factors – fear that the change will
lead to technological unemployment
Fear of demotion if they don’t acquire new
skills
Fear that the organisation will set high job
standards
2. Habits – Not ready to try new – fear that
change leads to more complexities
3. Insecurity – Uncertainty – Job security – fear
of unknown.

Individual level Resistance to Change
4. Lack of Communication – Non participation of
workers in implementing change
5. Extent of Change – major changes causes
resistance
6. Psychological Factors – past experiences, likes
and dislikes
7. Social Factors – friendships, informal
relationships

Group level Resistance to Change
- Impact of Informal Groups in the organisation
- Fear that their cohesiveness or existence is
threatened
- When people have a very strong sense of
belongingness

Organisational Level Forces
1. Threat to Power – introducing strategies
where the position power is disturbed
2. Group Inertia – Individuals resist because the
group/Organisation resist to it.
3. Organisational Structure
4. Threat to Specialisation
5. Resource Constraints – Organisation resist
when there is no sufficient funds for change
6. Sunk Costs – heavy investment already made,
training given

Overcoming Resistance to CHANGE
Efforts at the Individual level
1. Participation and Involvement
2. Effective Communication
3. Facilitation and Support – removing barriers,
providing guidance
4. Leadership
5. Negotiation and Agreement
6. Manipulation and Co-optation
7. Coercion – threatening
8. Timing of Change

Overcoming Resistance to CHANGE
Efforts at the Group Level
- Change agent and the people target for
change belong to the same group
- More cohesiveness and strong belonging to the
group – change is easier
- Group interactions – providing information
- Convince that the interests of the group
members are fulfilled

CHANGE MODEL
Unfreezing, Moving and Refreezing
Unfreezing the current situation – make people
recognise the need for change and to search
for new solutions – eliminating the rewards for
current behaviours
Moving – alter the behaviour of the individuals
and departments – developing new behaviours,
values and attitudes – through structural
changes and OD Techniques

CHANGE MODELS
Unfreezing, Moving and Refreezing
Refreezing – change becomes permanent – New
attitudes and behaviours are established –
encourage the new behaviour

Meaning
“Organization development is an effort planned,
organization wide and managed from the top to
increase organization effectiveness and health through
planned intervention in the organization’s “processes”
using behavioral-science knowledge.”

ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS:-
• Systematic
• Planned
• Long-range
• Organization-wide and
• Managed from the top

Characteristics of OD
1. Planned Change – Educational strategy – after proper
study and understanding.
2. Encompasses the Whole Organisation – development
in all parts of the organisation and well co-ordinated
3. Long Range Change – take month or years to implement
4. System Orientation - concerned with various groups –
formal and informal – concerned with group structures
and processes
5. Use of change agent:- bringing about a change
within the system at same time remaining
independent
External change agents are more objective and
have diverse experiences in comparison to internal
agents.
The internal agent along with the external agents
work with line management.

6. Solving of problems:- The problems of quality, cost,
machine breakdowns, marketing, finance are to be
identified and the plan of action should be implemented
in such a way that the problem is removed and the
efficiency of the organization is improved.
7. Learning through experience:-The modification must be
brought about through training.
8. Collaborative Management :- collaborations open
communications, shared power, constructive
confrontation (argument) and interpersonal trust. This
makes the employees expand their skills and be
effective and self-renewing.
9. Group processes:-Group discussion on the issues is
necessary. The object of common interaction is a must
to develop confidence among the members to work as a
team. It also provides the needed feedback.

10.Organisational Culture – Development will be
happening according to the Culture of the organisation
11.Feedback – encouraged to understand the situation and
take self corrective actions
12. Situational and Contingency Oriented – to fit
particular needs – open discussion of several better
alternatives
13. Team building – tie all the groups – finding solutions for
solving the differences

TECHNIQUES OF ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
1.Sensitivity Training (‘T’ Group):-
T-group- t stands for training
Earlier OD technique and is still in use
The objectives of this are to provide employees
increased, awareness of their own behavior and how other
perceive them, greater sensitivity to the behavior of
others, and increase understanding group processes.
Increased ability to empathize with others
improved listening skills
improved conflict reduction skills.

2.The managerial Grid
Grid training seeks to promote organizational excellence by
fostering concern for production and concern for people.
Working on the premise that most organizational problems
stem from poor communication and inadequate planning,

The Managerial Grid:
- it was developed by Robert Blake and Jane Mouton
- it is based on practical research into behavioural
sciences in industrial setting
- it is tested science of management applied in day to
day situations
Two dimension:
i) Concern for people – it include personal commitment
towards goal achievement, maintenance of self esteem,
responsibility, good working conditions & satisfying
interpersonal relations
ii) Concern for production – it is assessed through number
of creative ideas that applied research turns into
useful products, procedures or processes, quality of self
services, work efficiency and volume of output

- scale from 1 to 9 (1 – least involvement & 9 – most involvement)
- (1,1) indicate minimum standards, (9,9) is maximum standards.

Coordinates (1,1) – known as “Impoverished management”.
- makes minimum efforts to get work done, minimum performance and
minimum worker dedication
Coordinates (1,9) – also called “Country Club management”
- relationships with people, friendly atmosphere and high morale
Coordinates (9,1) – also called “Autocratic task managers”
- excellent work design, established procedures, efficient operation,
orderly performance.
Coordinates (5,5) – known as “Middle of the road”
- satisfactory performance based on performance and reasonable morale.
Coordinates (9,9) – called as “team managers”
- managerial efficiency, dedicated people, trustworthy and respectable
atmosphere.
- highly organized task performance.

STEPS IN GRID OD:
1. Training,
2. Team development,
3. Inter-group development,
4. Organizational Goal settings,
5. Goal Attainment,
6. Stabilization.

3.Process Consultation
Set of activities on the part of a consultant which helps the
client to perceive, understand and act upon process events
which occur in the client’s environment
How well its people relate to one another
Use of External consultant
-Inter group processes
-Group problem solving and decision making
-Communication
-Group norms and growth
-Functional roles of group members
-Leadership

4.Team Building / Development
Team building is a process of diagnosing and improving the
effectiveness of a work group
- improving inter-personal relationships within it
- defining the role of the leader in relation to other group
members.
Both the group’s task producers and its human
interactions are the subjects of study in team building.
The basic assumption of team building is that increasing
the effectiveness of team will improve the organization’s
overall effectiveness.

5. Survey Feedback:- most popular and widely used
involves two basic activities:
1) collecting data about the organization through the use
of questionnaires
2) conducting feedback meetings and workshops in which
the data are presented to organizational members.

6. Third Party Peace Making
Focuses on the intervention by a third party to resolve the
conflicting situations
Consultant will make the two disagreeing parties to
confront or to face upto the fact that a conflict does
exist and it is impairing the effectiveness of both

7. Role Playing
To increase the trainee’s skill in dealing with others
Human relation training or sales training

8.Technical structure intervention/ Structural Technique
Change the organization’s formal structure
Job redesigning
Job Enlargement
Job Enrichment
Management by Objectives
Training and career development
Modifications of the organisational culture
Jobs should be so designed that they are made more
challenging, interesting, and motivating.

Managerial implication of OCD
• Manager must understand the changes & cope
with it (Due to advance in technology, trend in
composition, other factors)
• Manager should manage this resistance sources
successfully (Changes due to uncertainty, threat,
lack of trust).
• Maintain relationship between change agent &
change target
• Manager should go for change from traditional to
new methods
• Manager should use his positional power to
enforce change

CONFLICT
- disagreement
- process in which one party perceives that another
party has taken or will take actions that are
incompatible with one’s own interest
• Conflict is defined as a clash between individuals
arising out of a difference in thought process,
attitudes, understanding, interests, requirements and
even sometimes perceptions.
• A conflict may results in
- heated arguments
- physical abuses
- loss of peace and harmony

CONFLICT
- within an individual
- between two individuals
- between two groups

Relation Between Organisational Performance and Conflict
