Organisational Behaviour - Buelens, Sinding & Waldstrom - 4th edition 2011 - Summary

Chapter 1: Organisational behaviour in the past

Organisational behaviour observes the interactions and habits of people and organisations. It tries to improve the organisations effectiveness.

Pfeffer found evidence that ‘people-centred practices’ are strongly associated with higher profits and significantly lower employee turnover. Seven people-centred practices in successful companies:

  1. Job security: eliminate fear of losing a job

  2. Careful hiring: emphasis on good fit with company culture

  3. Power to the people: decentralisation and self-managed teams

  4. Generous pay for performance

  5. Lots of training

  6. Less emphasis on status: to build a ‘we’ feeling

  7. Trust-building: through the sharing of critical information
