CHAPTER 11.1 INTRODUCTIONOrganizational behavior is the study of both group and individual performance and activity within an organization. Internal and external perspectives are two theories of how organizational behavior can be viewed by companies.The study of the way people interact within groups. Normally this study is applied in an attempt to create more efficient business organizations. The central idea of the study of organizational behavior is that a scientific approach can be applied to the management of workers. Organizational behavior theories are used for human resource purposes to maximize the output from individual group members.There are a variety of different models and philosophies of organizational behavior. Areas of research include improving job performance, increasing job satisfaction, promoting innovation and encouraging leadership. In order to achieve the desired results, managers may adopt different tactics, including reorganizing groups, modifying compensation structures and changing the way performance is evaluated.OB is nothing more than developing our understanding and development of people skill. A multidisciplinary field devoted to understanding individual and group behavior, interpersonal processes, and organizational dynamics.OB is Study of human behavior in organizations. There are two words-1- Organization 2- Behaviour An organization is a collection of people working together in a division of labor to achieve a common purpose.The study of Organizational Behaviour (OB) is very interesting and challenging too. It is related to individuals, group of people working together in teams. The study of organizational behaviour relates to the expected behaviour of an individual in the organization. No two individuals are likely to behave in the same manner in a particular work situation. It is the predictability of a manager about the expected behaviour of an individual.OB is concerned with the study of what people do in an organization (social system) and how that behavior affects the performance of the organizationIndividual BehaviorIndividual and group behaviorOrganizational structureOrganizational BehaviorWhy do people behave a certain way in an organizational environment? What factors affect job performance, employee interaction, job commitment, leadership and managerial styles? Individuals have studied this very topic for decades in order to find ways of increasing organizational performance.Organizational behavioris the study of both group and individual performance and activity within an organization.This area of study examines human behavior in a work environment and determines its impact on job structure, performance, communication, motivation, leadership, etc. Internal and external perspectives are two theories of how organizational behavior can be viewed by companies. Let's take a look at how the perspectives are different through examining Integreon, Inc.During the last 20 years, there have been additional developments in OB research and practice: Anthropologyhas become increasingly influential, and led to the idea that one can understand firms as communities, by introducing concepts such asorganizational culture, organizational rituals, and symbolic acts. Leadership studiesbecame part of OB. OB researchers have shown increased interest in ethics and its importance in an organization. OB researchers have become interested in the aesthetic sphere of organizations,drawing on theories and methods from the humanities, including theater, literature, music, and art.

DEFINITIONSAccording to Luthans OB is directly concerned with the understanding, predicting and controlling of human behavior in organizations.According to LM PrasadThe study and application of knowledge about human behaviour related to other elements of an organization such as structure, technology and social systemsStephen P RobinsOrganizational behaviour as a systematic study of the actions and attitudes that people exhibit within organizations.Roman J. Alday O.B as a branch of the social science that seeks to build theories that can be applied to predicting understanding and controlling behavior in work organizationsOrganizational behaviour is a field of study that investigates the impact that individuals, groups and organizational structure have on behaviour within the organization, for the purpose of applying such knowledge towards improving an organizational effectiveness.Chester BarnardHe recognized that individuals behave differently when acting in their organizational role than when acting separately from the organization. OB researchers study the behavior of individuals primarily in their organizational roles. One of the main goals of organizational theorists in OB is "to revitalize organizational theory and develop a better conceptualization of organizational life"

NATURE OF ORAGANIZTIONAL BEHAVIOUR1) A separate field of study and not a discipline onlyIt has assumed the status of a distinct field of study. It is a part of general management. It represents behavioral approach to management.2) An inter-disciplinary approachThe OB is heavily influenced by several other behavioral sciences and social sciences like psychology, Sociology and anthropology. O.B. has psychological foundations. The concept like learning, perception, attitude, motivation etc is borrowed from psychology, sociology and anthropology.3) A Normative Science Organizational behaviour is a normative science. A normative science prescribes how the various findings of researches can be applied to get organizational results, which are acceptable to the society. Thus, what is acceptable by the society or individuals engaged in an organization is a matter of values of the society and people concerned.4) A Science and ArtOrganization behavior is both art and science. It is considered as art because it contains knowledge about behavior of individuals. It is considered as science because it involves application of science.5) Humanistic and Optimistic ApproachOrganizational behaviour focuses the attention on people from humanistic point of view. It is based on the belief that needs and motivation of people are of high' concern. Further, there is optimism about the innate potential of man to be independent, creative, predictive and capable of contributing positively to the objectives of the organization.6) Oriented towards Organizational Objectives

7) A Total System Approach

1.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE RESEARCH To get an idea about the People and Culture of Integreon, Inc. To understand what is the process of organizational behavior structure that should be followed. To understand the structure of organizational structure followed by Integreon, Inc. To understand the recruitment policy followed by Integreon, Inc. To search or headhunt people whose skill fits into the companys values?

1.3 LIMITATIONS OF THE RESEARCHIt is simple to assume that every work will proceed without any hurdles. But as usual there were many hurdles and bottlenecks faced during the working on this project. The main limitations were as follows:

The limitation in this survey was that I could not conduct a survey on a big scale, due to the time constraint.

Lack of co-operative attitude from companies.

Unavailability of the resource persons.

Ease of access to important and relevant data.

The main limitation of the study is the collection of information. Because most of the information are confidential. So they dont want to disclose them. And I am not able to show any forms which they use in the time of joining or we use to upgrade the files.

Taking appointment of the respondents became a little difficulty.1.4 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Type of research:I have carried out a research which is both qualitative and quantitative in its support. The qualitative approach applies to both, descriptive and inductive forms of research. While as in case of quantitative approach, an extensive use has been made of the literature available to carry out a detail research on the nature of the problem. I have chosen Nestle as the target company for my research study.

Method of data collection & analysis:The data, after collection, has to be processed and analyzed in accordance with the outline laid down for the purpose at the time of developing the research plan. This is essential for a scientific study and for ensuring that we have all relevant data for making contemplated comparisons and analysis.

I have conducted a graphical analysis based on the responses received from the persons questioned and interviewed. Once the interview was over, the responses received were be grouped together, and a graphical presentation and analysis has been made for every set of questions.

Nature of data:I have made use of both, the primary sources and the secondary sources of data in eliciting information.

Primary data are collected from: interview questionnaire

Secondary data are collected from: internet, books, journal articles

PRIMARY DATA:Data that has been collected from first-hand-experience is known as primary data. Primary data has not been published yet and is more reliable, authentic and objective. Primary data has not been changed or altered by human beings, therefore its validity is greater than secondary data.

The primary source of data involves oral interviews and questionnaires. These sources are inadvertently expected to yield more qualitative data and results.SAMPLE SIZE: 10SURVEY AREA: Mumbai

Primary data collection methods:

Interviews:I have conducted oral interviews with retailers of Nestle. In considering an oral interview of such a nature, a follow up and step by step approach was adopted in getting through the interviewees. The oral interview involved a set of well thought out questions that were asked and the responses there on noted as a basis for analysis. Subsequently a graphical analysis has been made based on the responses received from the persons questioned and interviewed.

Questionnaire: I have collected primary data with the help of the questionnaire which was conducted with the help of students, retailer, consumer.

SECONDARY DATA:Data collected from a source that has already been published in any form is called as secondary data. The review of literature in nay research is based on secondary data. Mostly from books, journals and periodicals.

Secondary data collection method:The secondary source of data includes relevant literature including periodicals and journal articles in the areas of Marketing, customer satisfaction.

I have collected the secondary data from the sites or links like; www.integreon.com www.glassdoor.com www.indeed.com www.capitaliq.com

I have also collected the secondary data from the books like: Marketing Management - Philip KotlerCHAPTER 22.1 COMPANY PROFILE OF INTEGREON, INC.

MODERN APPROACH TO ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR

Human Resources ApproachThe human resources approach is concerned with the growth and development of people towards higher levels of competency, creativity and fulfillment, because people are the central resource in any organization. This approach help employees become better in terms of work and responsibility and then it tries to create a climate in which they can contribute to the best of their improved abilities. This approach is also known as 'supportive approach' because the manager's primary role changes from control of employees to providing an active support for their growth and performance.

Contingency ApproachA contingency approach to organizational behaviour implies that different situations require different behavioral practices for effectiveness instead of following a traditional approach for all situations. Each situation must be analyzed carefully to determine the significant variables that exist in order to establish the more effective practices. The strength of this approach is that it encourages analysis of each situation prior to action. Thus, it helps to use all the current knowledge about people in the organization in the most appropriate manner.

Productivity ApproachProductivity is a ratio that compares units of output with units of input. It is often measured in terms of economic inputs and outputs. Productivity is considered to be improved, if more outputs can be produced from the same amount of inputs. But besides economic inputs and outputs, human and social inputs and outputs also arc important.

Systems ApproachA system is an interrelated part of an organization or a society that interacts with everyone related to that organization or society and functions as a whole. Within the organization 'people' employ 'technology' in performing the 'task' that they are responsible for, while the 'structure' of the organization serves as a basis for co-ordinating all their different activities. The systems view emphasizes the interdependence of each of these elements within the organization, if the organization as a whole is to function effectively. The other key aspect of the systems view of organization is its emphasis on the interaction between the organization and its broader environment,, which consists of social, economic, cultural and political environment within which they operate.

Organizations arc dependent upon their surrounding environment in two main ways: First, the organization requires 'inputs' from the environment in the form of raw material, people, money, ideas and so on. The organization itself can be thought of as performing certain 'transformation' processes, on its inputs in order to create outputs in the form of products or services.

Secondly, the organization depends on environment such as, public to accept its output. The systems view of organization thus emphasizes on the key interdependencies that organizations must manage.

Within themselves the organizations must trade off the interdependencies among people, tasks, technology and structure in order to perform their transformation processes effectively and efficiently. Organizations must also recognize their interdependence with the broader environments within which they exist.

PROJECT EDU-LYNC (MUMBAI)September 2014|Rotary Sanskardham Academy provides an education for hearing-impaired and speech-impaired students from kindergarten to the 10th grade. The school operates on meager amounts of government support and the limited funds it brings in from selling crafts made by its students, making it difficult to offer broader professional training.To help, our CEO, Bob Gogel, conceived Project Edu-Lync. Bob saw an opportunity for Integreon Associates to bring virtual teaching sessions to the school by using Microsoft Lync, the same video conferencing system we employ in our day-to-day business. At no cost, Integreon installed the equipment and coordinated with teaching staff over the curriculum. In September 2013, as part of our World Literacy Week, Bob and an in-class interpreter delivered the first lesson - "The Importance of Education".Following the success of this pilot, Integreon invited Associates from around the globe to share their professional skills and sign up as virtual teachers. A broad program of lessons is planned for 2014 and will include bookkeeping and finance, economics, organization of commerce, secretarial practice, and computers and IT, as well as more vocational subjects such as animation, jewelry design, personality development, corporate grooming and graphic designing.A spokesperson for the school said This project has benefitted us by giving us a few extra hands when earlier there were none. We found it hard to impart quality education with our limited resources and faculty earlier, now we work with Integreon to achieve this goal.PROJECT VIDYA (MUMBAI)June 2014|The SMILE Mumbai team arranged training sessions for eight Shelter of Love orphanage children in our Mumbai deliver center, where we provided training in MS Office Basic skills, including Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

TREE PLANTING (MANILA)May 2014|For our week-long celebration of World Environment Day, 45 Associates participated in a tree planting event in San Mateo, Rizal, Philippines in May 2014. The location is a 73-hectacre closed landfill rehabilitation area, which is part of the National Greening Program of the Philippines Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). In coordination with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, we planted about 300 saplings. Although our initial target was 1000, DENR requested we limit our efforts to 300, the most they could sustain over a hot, dry summer.ADOPT AND NAME A PENGUIN (JOHANNESBURG)April 2014|On April 22, the Johannesburg office celebrated Earth Day by adopting an African Penguin, in cooperation with SANCCOBs Adopt a Penguin Program. SANCCOB, the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds, uses the program to encourage support for endangered African penguins.

March 2014|Seven of our Associates led a drive to donate clothes to poor and remote areas in China. By March 16, they had collected more than 51 kg of clothes, bags, shoes and quilts. Working with a local intermediary, we sent the clothes to the town of Ge Er Mu, in Qinghai Province.PENS OF HOPE IN DAVAO (LONDON & BRISTOL)June 2014|On Sunday, June 1, countries around the world observed International Childrens Day. In honor of this special day, Integreon celebrated with a week of activities that started Tuesday, May 27.

One of these activities was a collection drive for Pens of Hope in Davao, an outreach program to address the scarcity of writing materials in the Philippines. Most of us take having these things in our homes and schools for granted, but there are many schools in the world who struggle to fund such items and children have to learn without them.In London, our Associates purchased 1,837 items of stationery for donation and, in Bristol, Associates donated 400 items. These items consisted of writing pens and pencils, coloring pens and pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners, rulers, notepads and coloring books. Our donations were given to the community in the province of Agusan del Norte.Pens of Hope in Davao expressed their gratitude through their blog. Please follow the link below to see their BlogSpot, which features pictures of our donations reaching children in the Philippines:

4.2 SUGGESTION1. Manpower requirement for each department in the company is identified well in advance. 2. Perfect manpower consultants should avoid dealing with low profile requirements (like recruiting office assistants, front office executives or were the salary package is less than Rs 8000). Because time and energy (work force) used to fulfil the low profile requirement can be used in a better else were to generate more revenues.3. Though consultancy has already owned a good reputation, but it always need some type of publicity as a reminder to the young stars approaching to the jobs. This might help in accumulating good data base.4. Every department employee should aware about the current recruitment process. 5. Integreon, Inc. should give to advertisement for current job vacancy. Then the outsourcing or fresher can know about the job vacancies at Integreon, Inc.
