Nowadays is common for many of us, who have some grade of relation with Administration terms, the meaning of Organizational Behavior. Basically it reffers to the way the companies or even little chains of people behave, if they are succeding at leadership, employee, shareholder and even stakeholder levels. Not that there aren't any other meanings for the word, but in this case it would be a simple and accurate way of seeing it.
There is a famous evaluation institute called Great Place to Work (located in San Francisco, USA), that, alongside with many magazines around the world, evaluates companies in whole regions and countries. The objective is not just to attract employees (or great employees to make the difference remarked) but to become better through this process that takes place each year.
So, what does this have to do with Organizational Behavior? Well quite much. The evaluation process includes, from the point of view of the employees: "aspects as the credibility of the leaders, the acknowledge of the contributions that workers have made to their company, how good or bad is the environment of work (taking into account place and coworkers), pride for the company and the perception of justice, equality and deservance with respect to the achievements made" 1
From this point of view, and since many companies have started to take a further look in this evaluation and other researchs about the topic, the world is now facing a stage of cultural and stakeholder awareness. It isn't just about the best payment, nowadays is about it all. Where is the organization headed? What is its culture? Are their employees working in what they feel confortable at? Are they meeting their proffesional goals? Are the stakeholders winning something from the enterprise? And many other cuestions. This study is developing awareness, as many others, that the companies need and have to be compromised with their organizational behavior if they want to have success, not only with its workers, but with customers, and society as a whole.
