Organizational Behaviour Report: Driving Forces and Change

This report examines the importance of organizational behaviour and change management within an organization. It highlights that organizations must adapt to external changes, such as consumer needs, environmental standards, and global competition, to ensure success. The report emphasizes the role of employees in embracing change and introduces the Force Field Analysis model, which helps in understanding the driving forces behind organizational changes. It explains how these forces, including competition and workforce expectations, can push organizations towards new directions. The report also references the concept of 'divine discontent' to suggest that leaders can initiate change even without external pressures. The report also provides references to support its points.

Making a positive change within the organization needs a lot of consideration. This is not a one man decision but a decision
made by the stakeholders within the organization. Change should be accepted within any organization so as to bring a positive impact.
If change cannot be effected when needed, some activities cannot run smoothly within the organization (Hrebiniak, 2013). Therefore,
an exploration will be done showing how positive change can bring development within the organization.
External changes need to be done so as to bring developments within the organization. Examples of external changes which
should be done is that of the consumer needs, environmental standards, global competition, government regulation, community and
technology. Organizations that are successful monitor closely their environments so as to make the necessary changes that are
beneficial to the organization. In addition to that, the employees within the organization also play a great role towards embracing
change. Therefore, environmental forces play a greater role towards effecting some changes within the organization. However it
becomes a bit difficult to observe the external forces within the internal subtleties of the organization. The Force Field Analysis model
develop by Kurt Lewin plays a great role towards explaining the changing process within the organization. One side of the model
signifies the driving forces that play a role towards pushing the organizations to the new forms of affairs. This includes the
competitors, workforce expectations and environmental changes. Corporate leaders also play the role of producing the driving forces

even in the absence of environmental changes. For example, most of the experts tend to call for the “divine discontent”. This plays a
role of making an organization successful (Lewis, Marianne, Ann Welsh, Gordon, Dehler, Stephen, Green, 2002).
