1ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIORThis essay introduces the vast range of organizational behaviors encountered whileworking in the company. A workplace is one of the most culturally diverse environment as itconsists of individuals from different cultural background along with unique behaviors andpreferences. Due to this vast diversity at the workplace, challenges in terms of communication,productivity and motivation are frequently encountered. Therefore, this essay reflects theoverview of the different organizational behaviors along with analyzing the reasons. The essayincludes the use of motivational theories to analyze the organizational behaviors and itsapplication in enhancing the work performance of the employees within the organization.As commented by Ang & Van Dyne (2015), an organization or workplace is the mostculturally diverse environment, as it comprises of individuals with different backgrounds,preferences and working style. While working as a team, I have identified various behavioralproblems within the organization. According to Rice (2015), organizational stress is one of thesignificant issue encountered while working as a team. From week 3, I have learned thatorganizational stress can rise due to preferences in the working style and varying mindsets. Thisis because another might not prefer the working style of one employee. On the other hand, stressmight arise due to the conflict between the managers and employees. According to me, stressleads to the negative working environment that lowers the productivity of the organizations. Asthe employees are stressed, they are unable to emphasize on the goals and objectives of theorganizations. I feel stress can lead to burnout of employees. According to me, stress developsnegative mentality within the employees thereby, hampering the productivity. As a result, theemployees develop lack of commitment and dedication issues towards their work. I think stressleads to poor performance thereby, hampering the overall organizational performance. Accordingto the week 3 module, I ascertain that stress leads to organizational behavioral problems that

As the employees are already stressed, they lose theirability to manage time and complete the work within time. Therefore, the performance and themotivation of the employee are hampered. Additionally, stress results in shifting of the focus forthe employees. As the employees are stressed, they are unable to focus on the goals andobjectives and plan accordingly to complete the task successfully. I have learned that stresshampers the ability of the individuals to remember things that they already know and implementit while working. Due to stress, employees are easily distracted and vulnerable to make costly,harmful and fatal mistakes on the job. As mentioned by Elias, Smith & Barney (2012),behavioral changes lead to increase in the employee turnover thereby, affecting the financialaspect of the organizations. I have learned that behavioral changes lead to lack of commitmentfor the employees. As the employees lack dedication and commitment towards their work, theorganizational performance is hampered and the organization is unable to achieve the goals.Therefore, the business organizations need to recruit new individuals with greater workdedication and commitment. As a result, the employee turnover of the company will increasethereby, wasting the resources of the company. According to Andersen, Nielsen & Brinkmann(2012), behavioral issues are also noticed due to lack of motivation. I have learned that lack ofmotivation results in the lack of dedication, accurate guidance and ability to achieve goals.According to me, lack of motivation also results in low commitment within the employeesthereby, affecting the overall organizational performance. I have also learned that inappropriatemotivation results in low performance from the employees. As a result, overall dip in theorganizational performance is noticed.
3ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIORBehavioral problems are often encountered within the organization due to team works. Ateam is composed of culturally diverse individuals (Erez et al., 2013). This is because differentindividuals within the team might have different preferences in terms of working style, beliefs,and cultural background. Therefore, I have learned that preferences among the individuals leadto conflicts within the group. Conflicts within the group result in building a negative workingenvironment and hampers the relationship between the team members (Tadmor et al., 2012). Asa result, the team fails in achieving the goals and objectives and the overall performance of theemployees and organizations are hampered. Due to conflicts between the team members, theindividuals might not prefer a cross-cultural working environment. From the module, I havelearned that cross-cultural working environment results in lack of intention among the teammembers to perform better. From the various organizational behavioral issues, I have learnedthat the major cause of organizational behavioral issues is due to lack of motivation within theteam (Ramthun & Matkin, 2012). Therefore, I suppose, motivation is the key to manageculturally diverse working environment successfully. Motivation is the key manage organizational behavior successfully (Paul, 2012).According to me motivation maintains, controls and energizes the behavioral aspect of theemployees within the organization. Therefore, sufficient motivation is essential for maintaining ahealthy culture and providing guidance to the team members. According to me, motivation is theinternal control of the individuals that activates their behavior thereby, providing direction andgoal to the individual behavior. I have learned that motivation helps in achieving the goals of theemployees within the team are directed in the right direction and has proper guidance.Motivation is crucial within the cross-cultural working environment, as this helps in establishinga positive working environment. Positive working culture makes the employees more dedicated
