Encouraging Employees’ Productive Performance
through Organisational Behaviour Theories
In today’s competitive business world, corporations focus on hiring qualified and talented
employees that are capable of efficiently performing assigned tasks. According to Wood et al.
(2016), organisational behaviour assists companies in determining job performance and
personality of an employee. It studies people’s behaviour in an enterprise to analyse the
performance of individual and group. This essay will discuss the role of organisational
behaviour theories in positively influencing employees’ performance in a firm. In recent
years, corporations implement organisational behaviour strategies to enhance the productive
performance of employees by maintaining a positive working environment. As per Suppiah
and Singh (2011), effective organisational behaviour enables employees to interact with
others positively. Leadership approach is a crucial element which assists in evaluating the
impact of organisational behaviour in an enterprise and implementing various strategies to
improve employees’ performance. This essay will analyse why effective care is needed from
leaders while performing various business functions such as setting goals, designing jobs,
working conditions and motivating employees. Further, the essay will evaluate how managers
can influence productive performance of employees and impact upon different organisational
processes.
Modern corporations use organisational behaviour theories for human resource purposes
which assist them maximising the outputs of individual and group members. In recent years,
managers pay special care while performing various business activities such as motivating
employees, designing jobs, establishing positive working conditions and others in order to
encourage employees’ productive performance (Snape and Redman, 2010). Managers use
organisational behaviour theories to analyse the structure and processes of an enterprise to
understand its internal and external interactions. While encouraging employees, managers
reveal various hard and soft dimensions of their personality which they can utilise to
encourage and motivate workers. There are various major contributing factors in
organisational behaviour approach such as psychology, sociology, social psychology,
anthropology, political science, and economics. Manager analyses these factors while
developing and implement organisational behaviour theories. The psychological factors
evaluate how individual behave in response to incentive and sociology analyse employee
relationship with groups and others (Kashyap, 2018). Social Psychology observes individuals

behaviour in threat, conflicts and stress situations. Anthropology examines customer,
traditions and social norms of a company since it is a part of larger society. Political Science
assesses the power, authority and corporate politics which influence corporation’s hierarchy
and economics focus on monetary and non-monetary incentives to motive employees’
performance.
Job design focus on reducing job dissatisfaction among employees and assigning them jobs
based on their qualifications and skills. In recent years, managers use job design strategy to
increase employees’ productive performance by offering non-monetary incentives, such as
personal achievement, promotion, job satisfaction, increasing responsibilities and challenges
in their jobs (Erez, 2010). Organisation use job enrichment, job rotations, job enlargement
and job simplification techniques during job design process. Various organisational
behaviour theories assist managers in improving the efficiency of job design process and
increasing job satisfaction. The ‘Common Sense Theory (Theory X and Y)’ provides that
there are different types of people in a corporation; ‘Theory X’ employees focus on monetary
benefits, and they did not care about anything else whereas ‘Theory Y’ employees focus on
improving their lives and independence (Sorensen and Minahan, 2011). Theory X employees
are considered as lazy, unreliable and untrustworthy, whereas, Theory Y employees are
moral, responsible and good for company’s development. Steve Jobs, former CEO and co-
founder of Apple Incorporation, used Douglas McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y approach
in the company to increase employees’ productive performance (Baker, 2013). He used this
theory to motivate the team as a whole rather than managing individual staff which allowed
employees to perform with full potential.
In the technology industry, job satisfaction is a key factor because most of the employees are
millennials who do not prefer to work for another company and believe in establishing start-
ups. High rate of retention in software companies can be reduced by Theory X and Y
approach because it assists in designing jobs that satisfy employees’ requirement and increase
their productive performance. Similarly, ‘Herzberg’s Two Factor Theory’ also assist
corporations in job designing process because it analyses various motivators that cause job
satisfaction or dissatisfaction in a company and managers can use them to positively
influence employees’ performance (Tan and Waheed, 2011). Google Incorporation uses this
approach to increase the satisfaction of their employees because of which company has won
the title of ‘the best place to work’ many times (Fortune, 2017). Managers can implement
these organisational behaviour theories into various operations in order to impact upon
