EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE Through Organisational Behaviour Theories
EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE1 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 encourageandmotivateworkers.Therearevariousmajorcontributingfactorsin organisationalbehaviourapproachsuchaspsychology,sociology,socialpsychology, anthropology,politicalscience,andeconomics.Manageranalysesthesefactorswhile developing and implement organisational behaviour theories.

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 andjobsimplificationtechniquesduringjobdesignprocess.Variousorganisational 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 theirproductiveperformance.Similarly,‘Herzberg’sTwoFactorTheory’alsoassist 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
