1ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR
At work place, the behavior depends on the person about how one feels being in the office.
Hence, it can be stated that the behavior of the people depends upon the attitude of the person.
Attitude refers to the beliefs, opinions and other important aspects of the environment. At the
work, two important attitudes play an important role that is the job satisfaction and commitment
towards organization. Job satisfaction is referred to the people’s feelings that they have towards
the job they do (Pratkanis, Breckler and Greenwald 2014). According to the studies conducted in
terms of linking attitude with behavior, it can be stated that, satisfaction towards job is
considered to be the indicator. It indicates how the attitude of the person depends upon the
behavior of the person Organizations such as Society of Human resource Management has
pointed out the research as the job satisfaction is regarded as the important attitude towards job.
Organizational commitment is another important factor that people have an emotional
attachment towards the firm they work. A higher degree of over lapping can be indicated , as
because that makes the people happy with their job make them happy. As a result, they become
more committed to the firm as well (Pratkanis, Breckler and Greenwald 2014). Companies do
believe that these attitudes are worthy enough to keep track because they are often linked to the
essential outcomes such as the higher level of performances, rendering help to others, turnover
and absenteeism.
Now it is important to discuss, how the attitude and behavior is linked. Firstly, it depends
upon the attitude which is in question. The attitudes towards the colleagues’ influences whether
one can actually help them with a project, but they neither regarded as a greater predictor of
whether one would quite the job (Petty and Krosnick 2014). Secondly, it is important that
attitudes are strongly linked to the intentions in terms of behavior in certain ways. When the
employee is dissatisfied with the job, the employee might leave. Then the employee would

depend upon the other jobs. In other words, it can be stated that how a person would behave.
However, it is therefore, important to justify that how the behavior is strongly linked with the
situational problems (Vogel and Wanke 2016).
Importance of Attitude for the people that are important in the workplace which gives
birth to the innovative professional skills. There are five important attitudes that small business
can search to make sure that the professional environment is harmonious in nature, also a staff
who is productive. Respect is an important form of attitude that does not completely depend
upon the in which the employees wage interaction with the management. Employees must bear
the respectful attitude while interacting with the clients also with the co- workers. Employees
having this type of attitude are encouraged to treat people professionally and politely. It is stated
that prideful is termed as a good attitude which must be there in the workplace, the employees
who are prideful about their work always work hard to excel in their attitude. It says that the
outcomes of the task and the way they contribute to the company matters a greater deal to the
employee.
Commitment is also an attitude, which is useful for the person working. The
people who are not only committed to the goals, but also the same employees show their
commitment to their particular positions (Robins and Judge 2012). Employees show their
committed attitude while presenting their willingness to do whatever, it takes to complete the
duties of their positions by making new ideas to make the performance of the company better.
Employees who carries innovative form of attitude do not run away from trying out something
new or searching out a different way to do the challenging things better in a much more
innovative form. Helpfulness is another useful attitude to the person at the work place in terms of
giving assistance to the clients and the customers with their ways of giving help to the co-

workers in order to accomplish the company goals successfully. The more the person proves to
be helpful; the better would be people at work. They are more helpful with the employees on the
important projects and innovations (Robins and Judge 2012).
Factors that affect job satisfaction where the role of management in encouraging the job
of the employee in order to make sure the positivity of the environment of the work, where the
morale of the employee is high and the resources they need to make their tasks successfully
accomplished that are assigned to them.
Working conditions: As employees spend much of their time in the working
environment; it is therefore important for the companies to optimize the conditions of work.
These things as a result are providing a spacious environment rather than a cramped one. The
availability of the comfortable working environment contributes to the favorable workings of the
people (Thompson and Phua 2012).
Advancement’s opportunity: Employees in an organization would develop job
satisfaction if the employees get the opportunity to move up to the ranks in the firm. As a result,
they should be given responsibility along with the higher compensation (Thompson and Phua
2012). These companies encourage the workers to get hold of the advanced skills, which would
give them the chances of promotion. Companies as well pay the cost of employees’ tuition taking
the courses of the university.
Workloads: While dealing with the loads of work, it becomes stressful for the person to
reach the deadline in order to accomplish the tasks. This in turn may erode the dedicated of the
employees. Falling short of the deadlines can end up in a conflict between supervisors and
employees. Earning respect from the co- workers is another means of bringing satisfaction to

jobs. Managers need to interfere and solve conflicts before they escalate the serious problems
which needs the disciplinary actions (Edams 2012).
Relations with the supervisors: Effective managers know about their employees need
recognitions and praise in terms of their efforts and the accomplishments. Employees are needed
to be aware of the door of the supervisor, which is always open to them to know the concerns
that are affecting their ability in order to do their jobs effectively and the satisfaction at the office
which is impending (Hulsheger et al 2013).
Financial rewards: Financial rewards is another way to bring job satisfaction to the
employees working in the organization, where the employees can be evaluated on the basis of
their performances and the employees accordingly would be given bonuses and would be extra
paid for their jobs (Hulsheger et al 2013).
Therefore, it can be stated that these factors of job satisfaction of the employees would
bring employee satisfaction and increase their organizational commitment.
Managers in the organization acts as the leadership to see to what extent the staffs are
committed to the organization. As a leader, it is the responsibility of the manager to look into the
matter about how the staffs are performing under his leadership and the way staffs are giving
their best (Netke 2013). It is up to the manager to supervise the important factors that would
bring job satisfaction to the employees and motivation to fulfill their commitment towards their
organization. Managers must select the best style of leadership. Efficient management skill
would lead to the satisfaction of the employee, which is connected to the attitude based on
decision making and benefits which are linked to the recognition of the society (Netke 2013).
The managers need to take responsibility of meeting and promoting the culture of the teamwork,

and involved in making the betterment of the organizational structure.
