CHAPTER SYNOPSIS
This chapter demonstrates the practical value of OB concepts, defines the field, and identifies
current topics in OB. The chapter begins by citing evidence that the workplace of the twenty-first
centuries requires individuals who will take on more responsibility and who also want more out
of their jobs. The chapter also presents evidence showing that managing well makes a difference.
The authors discuss how the systematic study of OB uses scientific evidence to attribute causes
and effects. OB studies individuals, groups, and structure to understand human behaviour and its
link to organizational effectiveness. The chapter takes a detailed look at the current challenges in
the Canadian workplace. The chapter concludes with a general model that defines the field of
OB.
STUDY QUESTIONS
It is impossible to cover all the material contained in the chapter during one or two lectures. To
deal with this problem, I present my students with a list of study questions to indicate what
material they will be responsible for on exams. I tell them that they will be responsible for these,
even if the material is not covered in class. I have found that this reduces anxiety overall, and I
find it helps to make students aware that not everything in a chapter is required material. I realize
instructors vary in their approach, so this is simply my approach.
My study questions for this chapter are:
• What is OB?
• How does OB make sense of behaviour?
• What is empowerment?
• What does it mean to say that OB takes a contingency approach?
• What are the challenges for OB in the 21st century?
• What skills are needed for the New Workplace?
