Introduction
Organizational behavior is an important aspect as it helps in analyzing human behavior
and studies the individual and the group behavior activity within the organization. The
organizational behavior studies help in evaluating the behavior of the employee and establishing
a strong relationship with the employees. There are several types of organizational behavior
models such as autocratic, supportive, custodial and collegial. OB is also a systematic approach
which will be stated in this report and helps in understanding the behavior of the employees and
attaining the goals of the business (Naranjo-Valencia, et al., 2017). It has been seen that major
issues that have been seen in organizational behavior are related to organizational change and
development, organizational culture and climate, conflict management and negotiation and
globalization and corporate culture. The other major issues related to the organizational behavior
which will be addressed in this report are global challenges, environmental challenges,
organizational challenges, managerial challenges, and workplace issues challenges.
Article: 1 Organizational change and development
Organizational development is the part of the organizational behavior only in which
changes that were taking place in the organization are addressed and its effects on the individual
or in the company have stated. If the changes are made with proper planning and by intimidating
the employees then the changes are successful but if the changes are made before intimating the
employees then it creates many issues in the organizational behavior (Benn, et al., 2014). There
are several reasons behind the change in the organizations such as a change in the technology
which the company has to adapt so that they can sustain in the market, change in the process or
the procedure in the company so that goals can be addressed effectively.
The organizational structure has been changed so that a more competitive advantage can
be gained by the companies. For increasing the efficiency in the organization it is also important
to address the organizational change no matter whether the employees resist it or not. Several
challenges have been seen while changing the structure of the organization such as lack of
communication and trust among the people, conflicts at the working place, the resistance of the
employees, etc. (Poell and Van Der Krogt, 2014).

The major issue which has been seen in the organizational change and development is
related to the resistance of the employees while making a change to the structure. To convince
the employees to make the change is the major issue as the employees do not want to make any
change for their comfort zone (Aarons, et al., 2015). Change in the organizational structure
creates the fear, uncertainty and frustration level in the employees so it creates the issue of
conflict at the working place.
Another major issue arises when planning is not made effectively in the company and it
creates the issues of decreasing the potential level of the staff, efficiency, and delegation in the
company. Changes break the person and daily routine also. If the new technology is adopted in
the organization and it is not effective on working for the employees then it took time to learn
them so that tie the issues of the productivity arises (Lord, et al., 2015). For the development of
the company new policies and laws are also established in the organization so it also creates the
issues in OB as employees do not follow them and break the barriers.
For the development of the organization new structure has developed so it creates the
issue in the people as they do not get comfort in that. They want to work in the old structure and
do not want to try the new one so it affects the performance of the company also. When the
change is not embraced by the employees then it creates the major issue at the organizational
structure as people will not commit to their goals and they will not fulfill their accomplishing
goals (Hornstein, 2015). Adapting the change is eternal for the success of the company so no
matter how many issues or the challenges arise at the working place; the change has to be
embraced by the company.
Article: 2 Organizational culture and climate
Another major aspect of organizational behavior is the organizational culture where
people share their values, beliefs, thoughts which govern the behavior of the organization in the
people. The change in the organization is also addressed by changing the climate of the
organization which can be done by the upper management of the company. The set standards of
the behavior help in evaluating the perception of the people on the group and help in evaluating
the culture of the organization (Glisson, 2015).
