Organizational Behavior Terminology and Concepts Paper.
According to Schermerhorn, Hunt, and Osborn (2005), Organizational Behavior, also known as OB, ¡§is the study of human behavior in organizations¡¨ (Chap. 1, p. 16). OB is a multidisciplinary field dedicated to the understanding of ¡§individual and group behavior, interpersonal processes, and organizational dynamics.¡¨ (Schermerhorn, Hunt, and Osborn 2005, p. 16). In this paper I will show how organizational culture (diversity, globalizations, ethical behavior, social responsibility) influences individuals in the way they perform their tasks, and how learning about OB can help organizations expand, communicate, learn, and develop for better performance in the competitive, vibrant, and ever changing workplace we live in.

According to authors Schermerhorn, Hunt, and Osborn (2005), ¡§in the internal environment of organizations, the shared beliefs and values that influence the behavior of organizational members create what is called the organizational culture¡¨ (Chap. 1, p. 25). If an organization has a strong culture, it will most likely function with an comprehensible vision and a mission of the path to follow, which in turn is sustained by ¡§well-developed and well-communicated beliefs and values¡¨ ( p. 25).
