Organizational Behavior and National and Organization Culture

 ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR AND OPPORTUNITY

Human behavior in organizations is complex and often difficult to understand. Organizations have been described as clockworks in wich human behavior is logical al rational, but they often seem like snake pits to those who work in them. 

Most of the theories and models of human behavior fall in to one or two basic categories. one has internal perpective and the other external pespective.

1) The internal perpective consider factors inside a person to understand behavior in terms of the thoughts, fellings, past experiences and needs of the individual.

2)The external pespective focuses on the factor outside  the person to understand the behavior in terms of  external events, consecuences of behavior  and enviromental forces to wich a person is subject.

To understan the human organization is required to understand human behavior and the organizational context where behavior is enected. The behavior of a human is developed inside an organization, and there are some kinds of organizations. The first one is Organization as Open Sistems,organizations are open systems of interacting components, wich people are, people, tasks, technology and structure, the organizations as open systems  have people, technology,structure, and purpose, wich interact with elements in the organization enviroment.

Other kind of organizations is the Formal and the Informal Organization, the formal organization is the official and most visible part that allow people to think in organizations in logical and rational ways, and the informal organizatiosn ar less visible.

NATIONAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE.

Many managment scholars claim that culture must be understood as the predominant force driving all decitions made in the company, others reject this theory and said that culture has any relevance to managment at all. in the practice the decisions in the comanies have both. This decisions are ruled by  some factors, internal and external, some of the are:

Internal

• The CEOS psycological make- up.
• The organizational strategy.
• Organizational history
• Policies and systems.

External

• Decision made by competitors.
• Decision made by suppiers.
• Decision made by costumers.

 Here with this list it seem very easy to identify but in the reality the internal and exteranal factors are influenced by a wider enviroment.

the culture is not the only one that influence individual values, this decisions are influenced by personality ans the personality by ganetc transmission family, gender, age. All this factors mold individual attitude.

If the culture is analized it can be very useful to predict any reaction of a group of persons, this culture is influenced by religion, belifs, values, and the culture is learned, so it depends also of the group where yo born or you are.

Because in your organization you will found different types of persons, values, religions etc. And this phenomen is constantly changing and the new cultures or new behaviors are going place to place, and people is adaptin to it.
