easily influence in positive way to the co-workers and also can work with a positive attitude. It
is the attitude only that encourages the employees working in the organization to influence a
person’s behavior. The attitude of an individual reflects the behavior. These positive attitudes are
typically showed in a man's behavior; individuals with a good attitude are productive and do
what they can to enhance the mood of the people around them. If the person have negative
attitude then it cannot be possible to work in effective manner (Bissing‐Olson, Iyer, Fielding and
Zacher, 2013). There are many circumstances in which the attitude is determined by taking into
consideration the behavior of the person at the workplace. The factor that should be considered is
the organization itself and also the satisfaction level of the people. It is mostly seen that the
person with a positive attitude can work with full dedication and can easily achieve the goals and
objectives of the firm in effective manner. The administration of people at the work environment
is an essential for the hierarchical conduct. It decides the impacts that people, gatherings, and
structure have on conduct inside the association for the fundamental motivation behind applying
such ideas keeping in mind the end goal to enhance an association's adequacy. An effective
association will guarantee that there is a spirit of cooperation and feeling amongst individual and
association (Barrick, Mount and Li, 2013).

also assists the person and gives way to handle the rejection efficiently. Attitude gives effects on
the life of people. To live a happy life positive attitude is required. The positive attitude gives
favorable results while the negative attitude gives failure (DuBrin, 2013). Also there are many

Organizational Behavior
problems like depression, loss of concentration which can give a negative impact on the human
beings. If the attitude of the person is positive towards work then it will assist them to deal with
the stress and enhances the level of motivation (Borman, 2014).Attitude is not only required at
the workplace and for safety but it is also essential to enhance the motivation in the life of an
individual. The positive or negative attitude gives the final outcome, so if the attitude is positive
then it will give favorable outcome and if the attitude is negative then the outcome will result in
disappointment. It is analyzed that good and positive attitude is very essential at the workplace as
it gives various benefits and creates a good working environment. If the organization have
positive working environment then it can be easy to achieve the goals and objectives in effective
manner (Donagan, 2017).
Job satisfaction and organizational commitment is taken into consideration that gives direct
impact on the behavior of the organization. Job satisfaction enhances the satisfaction level of the
employees working in the organization. It satisfies the demand and requirement that is essential
for conducting the operations in effective manner. There are many factors that is taken into
consideration in job satisfaction and that are working pattern and also the factors that determine
the organizational behavior. The behavior at the workplace has a major impact by taking into
consideration the working pattern of the organization. It is essential to maintain the working
pattern of the workplace and it can be maintained in effective manner by having good and
positive attitude (Miner, 2015). The coworkers also determined the behavior at the workplace.
The organization should take into consideration innovative ways that enhances the level of
motivation of the employees working in the organization. To enhance the growth of the business
it is very essential to motivate the employees so that the goals and objectives can be achieved in
effective manner. The organizational commitment is a way in which the workers feel satisfied
and faithful to the manager. Organizational commitment helps the employees to work in
effective manner. The employees should have the feeling of unity towards the organization.
There are many components that are related with organizational commitment and in the essay
these all components are explained in effective manner (Georgellis, 2015).The organizational
commitment includes various components such as affective, normative and continuance. So
affective commitment it that in which the individual have managed to work in effective manner.
The next is continuance commitment in which the cost of living in the company is very costly.
The commitment stays for a long term in the organization. Let’s consider an example in which a

Organizational Behavior
worker has invested for a long period with the organization. So the employee will receive a
bonus or the benefit of the accumulating leaves. Last is normative commitment in which the
feeling is created that is concerned with the duty and the responsibility towards the organization.
The results are only reflected when the employees get a new responsibility or a duty. It is also
seen that there is enhancement in the responsibility of the worker when the commitment is
shown in effective manner towards the employees. If the trust is maintained between the
employees and the organization then it will enhance the profitability of the organization. So the
trust is an essential factor that should be taken into consideration by the organization (Hülsheger,
Alberts, Feinholdt and Lang, 2013).
Job satisfaction and organizational commitment
The last question of the essay gives focus on the organizational commitment. It assists the
managers to gain knowledge that how efficient their employees are towards the work.
Commitment gives main focus on the working pattern of the employees. Employee welfare also
plays an important role. It helps the employees to know that how efficient the managers are
towards their commitment. The managers take into consideration different needs and wants of
the employees, so that they feel satisfied in effective manner. The responsibilities of the
employees assist the manager to know about the commitment towards the work. If the employee
works with a positive attitude then it can easily be seen that the employee is dedicated and
committed towards the work. The employees who are dedicated towards the organization or
towards their work give positive outcome. Committed employees try to help the organization to
achieve the goals and objectives in efficient manner. Manager should focus on enhancing the
commitment level of the employees so that it can be easy for the company to attain the
profitability (Dhar, 2015). Organizational commitment is considered as a valuable asset for the
organization. The company can easily enhance the commitment of employees by giving them
fair and reasonable working practices so that the employees can give their best to complete their
operations. There are many problems that are analyzed in the working pattern of the
organization. The problems can be reduced by considering good communication and feedback
between the manager and the employees. The manager should also analyze the talent and
potential of the employees working in the organization (Kleebbua and Siriparp, 2016). By
analyzing the talent the organizational commitment can also be taken into consideration.

Organizational Behavior
Managers commitment
It is also seen that organizational commitment and job satisfaction is interrelated. If the employee
is satisfied with the job then it is seen that employee focuses on commitment towards the work.
It is the duty of the manager to enhance the working pattern of the employees. The manager
should motivate the employees to work efficiently then only the commitment can be enhanced of
the employee towards the work. Motivation is also considered as an important element to
enhance the level of commitment of the employee towards the organization. Motivation
enhances the capability of the work of the employees and also enhances the profitability of the
firm. Commitment of the staff can be enhanced when the employees are motivated by the
managers to work in a smart way (Demerouti, Bakker and Gevers, 2015) It is seen by taking into
consideration today’s scenario that latest technology complete half of the work in speedy way.
Thus human resources are an essential part of the organization. No one can replace the work
done by human resources. Thus to enhance the skills and potential of the employees company
should give proper training to the employees so that they can perform best to achieve goals and
objectives. The main responsibility of the manager is to implement the motivational theory in
effective manner so that the employees can be retained in the organization. The efforts that are
made by the managers result in the organization commitment and in job satisfaction (Taylor,
Bogdan and DeVault, 2015).
