What is OB/HBO?
■ It is about human behavior.
■ Human behavior is about potential and expressed capacity
(mentally, physically, socially)
■ Trivia: Do you know that a recent study on human behavior
of people in social media done in the University of Madrid
reveals that there are four types of personality that are
apparent: optimistic, pessimistic, trusting, and envious. Of
the 4 types, which one do you think is more commonly
displayed among people?
■ Organization is a social unit of people that is
structured and managed to meet common goals or
objectives; an entity, a company, a corporation,
association, group

PAVLOV’s Stimulus Response Theory

■ Analyzed the role of stimulus in eliciting a response/action


■ Experimented with a dog; but is universally credited to apply
to human behavior
■ We respond according to a stimulus.
■ Human response could be instinctive action; it could be
deliberate action/inaction
Employee Behavior vis-à-vis
Management
■ Stimulus often comes from the Management
■ Management roles will elicit response from employees thus
effecting their behavior.
■ Employee response becomes the stimulus for management
to respond back; and this becomes a cycle of actions and
counter-actions that form as basis of organization behavior.
