Question

Give an overview of the specific topic that has provided an enlighten viewpoint of organizational behavior in this course? How will these viewpoints be used in your current or future workplace?

Answer 1

I learnt that minds play a very important role in controlling our Organizational behavior. A health mind supports an individual to take better and sounder decisions that in turn could be advantageous to the organization. A poor health may have an adverse impact,

Also, it talks a lot about our mindset revolving around particular sets of ideologies as well that in turn helps in shaping the Organizational values on the part of the mindset. Some may be conservative in approach while some open and broad-minded. Diversity-conscious leaders in Company when formed on the basis of this mindset, becomes an identifying factor for the entire institution and this is how we can infer that there exists relationships between our minds and how we interact within Organizations. Accordingly, Psychometric tests is also used by these leaders as one of the important instruments in managing the diversity. The leaders of the Company also sort this help to deal with various other aspects of diversity such as gender diversity, age diversity, etc. These leaders have the competency to value the diversity in Organizational group dynamics as an internal source of strength as it includes a diverse form of employees in the Organization. They therefore help in optimizing the employees’ potential to the best possible extent. Further, their competency involves the ability not only to form groups on certain basis but also to maintain the teams in order to facilitate the team’s performance towards achievement of the Organizational goals. These leaders assume accountability and undertake various effective decision-making processes that are essential in order to succeed in managing the team competency to boost the team’s overall performance. They also seek willing cooperation from their subordinates owing to their dynamic personality and hence they are charismatic extroverts.

In future, I would like to contribute myself towards a making a Transnational Organization. In this case, my HR role shall have a lot to do with the structural changes. It is based upon the basic values, mission and vision statements of the Organization that an HR designs the policies for the entire Organization to follow. If the Organization is a local one, without any global activities, then the HR role would be perhaps niche to only that particular home country however, when the structural changes involve the stepping up of the Company globally, then various other HR clauses come into the picture. It has to regard the host country’s domestic HR laws governing the state, the attitude and the perceptions of the employees residing in such other countries, etc. Hence HR role needs to be customized based on structural differences.
