HUMAN BEHAVIOR ORGANIZATION

BASIC ASSUMPTIONS OF ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR


Bhupindra Jung Basnet, MPhil

INTRODUCTION
This paper was written with the purpose of doing an in depth analysis of the basic
assumptions of organizational behavior and the nature of people and organizations, incorporating
the same to understand what can contribute to achieve productivity in the organization and job
satisfaction. In an organizational structure, there are key factors which can affect organizational
behavior, however, these factors are not the main topic in this study but the assumptions it may
create.
MAIN BODY
As defined assumptions is a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without
proof.1 In this paper, different theory and concepts of organizational behavior are said to have
come from psychology, social psychology, sociology, anthropology and political science. In my
opinion all of these fields of study had to do with our intrapersonal and interpersonal skills we use
in our daily lives, especially in working and dealing with work environment regardless of whether
it is healthy or not, these skills are what we use to cope to it. Further, I think that the qualitative
research design is best fit to this study, there is no better way to understand behavior than to
describe them.
To reiterate, the following assumptions about Nature of People are individual differences,
a whole person, selective perception, motivated behavior, value of the person, and desire for
involvement, on the other hand assumptions about Nature of Organization are the following, social
system, mutuality of interest, and ethical treatment. Assumptions made as to these key factors
shall help in understanding how and why an organization can work to achieve or even surpass its
potential.
CONCLUSION
Finally, after consideration of these key factors, we have come to understand that
assumptions of organizational behavior is of two components, that of its people and the
organization itself. In order to achieve a productive organization with job satisfaction, the people
and the organization must both consider their basic assumptions, adjust to it, maintain
professionalism, in order to encourage job ethic that works for both the benefit of the people and
the organization. Therefore, it is now clear that social system, mutuality of interest, and ethical
treatment are what comprises assumption about nature of organization.
