The most successful business leaders are ones that continuously look for ways and strategies to drive performance, not just through improving employee productivity, but also their workplace experience and job satisfaction. This can be achieved by understanding how employees interact with each other and management, as well as what motivates them. One way to do this is to study the interrelationship between individual employees, teams, and management to identify what sets the most effective workers apart.
Organisational behaviour describes the behavioural dynamics that occur between groups and individuals in an organisational setting. The following five elements are key to studying organisation behaviour: Organisational Culture, Power, Motivation, Teams, and Leadership.
As a newly employed operations manager, you are required to write a paper of 1,500 words. This paper should be aimed at Managers as well as the CEO and should cover the tasks set out below. Your choice of organisation should be agreed with your tutor during tutorials
