1. Individual difference Each individual differ from each other Difference arises from birth due the various experience that individual goes through

A whole person
Individual is not hired alone but his likes & dislikes are also hired.

There is always cause behind a person behavior Human behavior is caused because of needs. Behavior is directed towards fulfillment of this need.

Human Dignity

The concept rejects the old idea of using employee as economic tools. Treated differently as they are of higher order in the universe, should be treated with respect & dignity

Organisation are Social System

Individual is govern by social & psychological law. Individual has social needs to satisfy. Existence of social system reflects that organisation is subject to change, as all the parts of the system are interdependent & influence each other.

Mutuality of Interest

Organisation need people & people need organisation. Lack of common interest brings no cooperation.

Holistic Concept

Take all the possible views to people in an effort to understand as many as possible factors that influence behaviour.

Types of models

Autocratic Custodial Supportive Collegial SOBC

Autocratic

The basis of this model is power with a managerial orientation of authority. The employees in turn are oriented towards obedience and dependence on the boss. The employee need that is met is subsistence. The performance result is minimal.

Custodial

The basis of this model is economic resources with a managerial orientation of money. The employees in turn are oriented towards security and benefits & dependence on the organization. The employee need that is met is security. The performance result is passive cooperation.

Supportive

The basis of this model is leadership with a managerial orientation of support. The employees in turn are oriented towards job performance and participation. The employee need met is status & recognition. The performance result is awakened drives.

Collegial

The basis of this model is partnership with a managerial orientation of teamwork. The employees in turn are oriented towards responsible behavior and self-discipline. The employee need that is met is self-actualization. The performance result is moderate enthusiasm.

Models bound to change. no one model is best for all times. Models are related to hierarchy of human needs. Today's tendency of towards more democratic models of organizational behavior continue for a long run. Different models will remain in use.

SOBC

S- Stimulus, O- Organism, B- Behaviour, C- Consequences. Based on social learning. Says that internal cognition leads to behavior. Expanded model includes interactive nature of environment (S and C), intrapersonal cognition in determining its behavior. Serve as conceptual framework. Gives a bare bone of sketch rather than explanation

Stimulus:
Composed of indication that determines behavior. Overt indication: external & observable Covert indication: internal & non observable. the above is a part of internal environment. External envt consist of technological & social factors provides stimulus for behviour.

Organism

Is a physical being or human being. Physical factors are influence by stimulus. They alter psychological structure. Response is emerge as an result of the interaction between stimulus & structure.

Behavior

The way in which an individual reacts to stimuli is behavior. Individual show patterns of behavior t stimuli. Behavior can be predicted by understanding their patterns. Covert behavior difficult to understand.

Consequences

Behavior leads in determining the consequences. Positive consequences: leads to reinforcement. Negative consequences: force to change the behavior. Consequences dependent on situations.

Significance of SOBC

Simple & useful model. It helps to understand ,predict & control the behavior of individual. Important in organizing the further study & Development of models of OB.
