It’s important for an employee to be familiar with other functioning’s of the department in the organisation. But not necessarily he/she has to dig deep if it’s not his/her working field or having excessive information about that field.

 But some or the other way the employee belonging to a particular field has to somehow manage the team under them and plan the things such that the team could achieve the common goal as a whole. This could be done with the study of OB. So basically “OB is a field of study that investigates the impact that individuals, groups, and structure have on behaviour within organizations for the purpose of applying such knowledge towards improving an organization’s effectiveness.”

It involves – motivation, change process, leader behaviour and power, conflict and negotiation, interpersonal communication, etc. and these are some of the areas where every manager should be aware about so that they can carry out their work smoothly. OB basically is a deep study in human resources field but every other department can imbibe the OB skills to work smoothly in their department. Having the basic concepts of OB can also make the work easier for the managers because they can easily adapt themselves in the different organisations.

Now the global competition has increased and there is diverse workforce it’s important to keep them together and on the same track along with that it’s important to cope up with instant changes in the environment. With these changes the opportunities for the employees have grown and they can shift themselves to one organisation to another if they do not feel satisfied. So for the organisation it is really important to make sure that proper compensation, benefits, perks and is being received by them so they feel more motivated to work and make sure of taking care of them with more humanistic approach.

Different people with different cultures might be difficult to handle, even if it is your boss, co-worker, juniors, etc. what is right according to you might not be right for them or vice-versa, or the way you speak or express might be different from others which may not be appealing to others, so in this case OB can work for anyone to handle such situations in the organisation.
