Organizational structure - the path that begins with employee well-being

Organizational behavior is the study of three determinants of organizational behavior: individuals, groups, and structure.

Individuals refer to how individual characteristics impact employee behavior and performance. The group factor, in turn, is how the characteristics of teams, communication processes, and decision-making impact behavior and performance. The structural factor, on the other hand, concerns the relationship between individuals and the organizational system, its culture, hierarchy, and how this affects individuals and the company's results.

Working on organizational behavior is not only about setting up a diagnosis. Besides understanding the behavior of individuals, it is necessary to be clear about what attitudes the organization expects and, based on this, to find points for improvement, comparing the values expected by the organization and those practiced by individuals. The study of organizational behavior goes through the following factors:

Individual behavior

The study of individual behavior seeks to understand the goals, interests, competencies, values, motivations, perceptions, attitudes, and level of performance of an employee.

Group behavior

Here, the focus of the study is on interpersonal relationships and how employees behave together. Factors such as communication, collective decision-making, and coexistence are part of this analysis.

But that is not all. The study of group behavior also seeks to understand how teams work to achieve the company's goals, how they react to rules, and how disagreements and conflicts are resolved.

Organizational culture

The organizational culture is the corporate identity, that is, a set of values, beliefs, and behaviors that are shared and effectively practiced (it is not enough just to stay in the manuals). Culture creates differentials and even makes the company a reference in the industry.

Remember that ensuring a good employee experience is fundamental to increasing productivity and improving your company's image as an employer.
