Organizational Behavior Discussion

Introduction

Recognizing the effect attitudes have on performance is important for managers. Organizational behavior involves studying the actions of people at work. Employee attitudes affect their behavior, so it is important for managers to understand how attitudes affect behavior to lower rates of turnover, to help satisfied employees perform better, to pinpoint if an employee is dissatisfied, and to reduce dissonance.
