About Organisational Behaviour

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The unit sits in the People and Organisations strand of Human resources. Almost all of it is written at university level, so it suits anyone working through an organisational behaviour course. The material follows the topics a course usually moves through: attitudes, motivation, stress, leadership, groups, conflict, power and diversity.

Where to start

Begin with the flashcard deck MGMT330 Chapter 4. It defines attitude, affect, cognitive dissonance, social learning, job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behaviour, plus affective, continuance and normative commitment. Those terms come up again in many other resources here.

Next, read the mind map Job Satisfaction and the deck Job satisfaction - 7. The deck covers Hofstede's dimensions of culture and how job satisfaction is measured, with approaches such as the JDI and MSQ.

Topics to explore next

  • Motivation: the deck Theories of Work Motivation in Organizational Behaviour separates intrinsic from extrinsic motivation. The maps Motivation Theories and Motivation at Work sit alongside it.
  • Stress and wellbeing: the deck Occupational Stress covers Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome, stimulus-based and transactional theories. The map Work-life Balance is a lighter companion.
  • Leadership: the deck OCL - Leadership compares leadership with management and works through trait and behavioural theories.
  • Conflict and people: the map Conflict and negotiation separates functional from dysfunctional conflict. The notes Managing Diversity, Gender and Organisations and Power and Organisations cover diversity, gender and power.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a mind map first to see how a topic fits together. Then take a quiz, such as MGT ch 14, which opens with the definition of organisational behaviour and moves to behaviour beyond job requirements. Wrong answers show you which flashcards to revisit. Teachers can use the quizzes and maps as ready-made starting points for a seminar or revision session.

Make it your own

Choose one topic from the list above, work through its map, deck and quiz, and then build your own version of whatever felt thin.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the flashcard deck MGMT330 Chapter 4. It covers attitudes, job satisfaction, organizational citizenship behaviour and the three kinds of organizational commitment. Those ideas return in many other resources on the page, so they make a sensible base before you move on to motivation, stress or leadership.

What do the mind maps cover?

The mind maps cover job satisfaction, attitudes, motivation, personality, work-life balance, organisational justice, psychological contracts, conflict and negotiation, and team and diversity management. There are also maps on job performance and on interpersonal relations at Disney and Coca-Cola, which suit anyone who likes worked examples.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you create your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Who are these resources for?

They are mainly for university students, since nearly all of the material is at that level. Teachers can also use the quizzes, maps and decks as ready-made material for lessons or revision. Students use them to check definitions, compare theories and find gaps in their understanding.

Is there anything on leadership and conflict?

Yes. The flashcard deck OCL - Leadership covers the definition of leadership, leadership versus management, and trait and behavioural theories. For conflict, the mind map Conflict and negotiation explains functional and dysfunctional conflict, and the flowchart Role of conflict adds another view.

What if the topic I need is missing?

Check nearby topics first, as many resources overlap. For example, attitudes and job satisfaction appear across several decks and maps. If you still cannot find what you need, create your own flashcards, mind map or notes, using the existing resources as a model.
