4. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF OB
Organizational behaviour consist of a very broad body of body of knowledge with preamble boundaries. A conceptual framework for understanding organizational behaviour is presented by dubrin consist of four core proportions, which are follows

5. OB FOLLOWS THE PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR
Human being in the organization are governed by the same psychological mechanisms both on and off the job. Internal mechanisms provide people an extra spurt of the appropriate hormone during time of stress, whether this stress is job or non job related.
Similarly, people at work governed by the same psychological principles both inside and outside organizational life. Organizational behavior in a human behavior in a particular setting
UNIT I O & B

6. OB IS A SITUATIONAL
Psychologists and other behavioural scientists have emphasized for years that individual behavior is a function of the interaction between personal characteristics of the individual and environmental variables.
In order to understand a person’s behaviour, the pressures placed upon him in a given situation must be understood. Aggressive behaviours, for Eg, surfaces when a normally calm individual is forced into constant and close physical proximity with other people
UNIT I O & B

7. OB IS BASED ON SYSTEM APPROACH
System thinking is an integral part of modern organization theory. Organizations are viewed as complex systems consisting of interrelated and interlocking sub - systems. changes in any part of the system have both known and unknown consequences in other part of a system.
When modifications in the system lead to desired, positive consequences, they are called functions. Unintended consequences in response to modifications in the system are called dysfunctions. According to the system point of view, every interaction has both functions and dysfunctions.

8. OB represents a constant interaction between structure and process variable
Structure refers to organization design and positions. Process refers to what happens, with or without the structure.
A retail store may use both formal advertising and public relations functions (structure) to help build its image in the community. However, most of the store’s image is formed by words of mouth from satisfied and dissatisfied customers and employees( process variables).

9. OB represents a constant interaction between structure and process variable
Process emerging within a group or organization are often evident only after they are heading towards completion It is almost structural requirement in any organization that managers deal with the discontents of their people, yet employees sometimes find other processes for handling them.

10. COGNITIVE FRAMEWORK
Cognitive approach gives people much more “credit” than the other approaches. The cognitive approach emphasizes freewill aspects of human behaviour and uses concepts such as expectancy, demand, and incentive
UNIT I O & B

11. COGNITIVE FRAMEWORK
Cognition which is the basic unit of the cognitive frame work, is the act of knowing an item information. Under this frame work, cognitions precede behaviour and constitute input into the person’s thinking, perception, problem solving, and information processing.
Concepts such as cognitive maps can be used as pictures or visual aids in comprehending a person’s “ understanding of the particular, selective, elements of the thoughts of an individual, group or organization

12. BEHAVIOURASTIC FRAME WORK
Ivan Pavlov and john B.waston Were the pioneers of the behaviourastic theory. Unlike the earlier psychologist, they focused on observable behaviours rather than the evasive mind. they explained human behaviour with the help of stimulus- response experiments.
A stimulus brings out a response is an individual and result in learning. The stimulus-response relationship explains the physical reflexes in human beings. For Eg, when a person is pricked with a pin, he immediately flinches.
UNIT I O & B

13. SOCIAL COGNITIVE APPROACH
According to some researchers, the cognitive approach emphasizes too much on psychological process whereas the behaviourastic approach stresses on stimulus, response and consequences.
The social learning approach attempts to integrate the contributions of these approaches. However, the influence of behaviour approach is higher than the cognitive approach on the social learning approach.
UNIT I O & B

14. SOCIAL COGNITIVE APPROACH
In social learning approach, behaviour is considered as the appropriate unit of analysis. It is held that people are self- aware and make an effort towards conscientious behaviour. Individual learn about the environment, modify and construct it in a manner favorable to them.
