,0 Introduction
0.1 What is a good company to work for?
• Salary (has to meet our expectations), room for personal growth, location,…
• A good company to work for offers:
o Quality leadership;
o work/life balance (well-being);
o Team spirit;
o Fair and respectful treatment;
o Personal challenges;
o Recognition;
o Opportunity for promotion;
• Eight factors from the survey of the 100 best companies to work for:
o =leadership, well-being, my manager (feelings towards manager), my team
(towards colleagues, their roles and seniority), fair deal (eg. pay for the work
you’ve done), giving something back (as an organisation to the environment),
my company (feelings towards the employing organisation), (room for)
personal growth;
• But are the best employers the best companies as well?
o Companies need people that are the best workers;
o Companies are only as good as the people that work there;
o Ergo, we need to empower these employees;

, ▪ How do employees learn the tricks of the trade, and how do they plan
their career in the company?
▪ How to motivate employees?
▪ Does the organizational climate matter?
▪ What type of leadership is most successful?
▪ Are there obstacles to cooperation and communication within the
organization?
• There has to be a match between organisations and there employees:
o OB is concerned with the study of people within an organization setting. It
involves the understanding, prediction and control of human behaviour. It
looks at practices of organizing and meaning-making, involving thinking,
feeling and acting that are not so dissimilar to everyday life.
▪ Prediction and controlling of the performance;
▪ Subjective experiences of the actors themselves are also worth
studying;
o Organisational behaviour: …is the study of all factors (personal, contextual,
and institutional) that impact individual behaviour or group dynamics within
an organization.
▪ An additional goal is to apply this knowledge to optimize an
organization’s success.
• Personal (psychology);
• Contextual (infrastructure);
• Institutional (policies);
• Decides if there will be commitment;
o The predictions derived from the field benefit an organization’s employees,
management, leaders, as well as anyone who is in any way involved with
organizations.
o The study is multi-disciplinary:
▪ Psychology, sociology, anthropology, economics and political sciences;
o Are OB insights universally applicable?
▪ No → two characteristics of this study:
• Applied focus;
• Contingency approach; The best management practice for an
organisation depends on the circumstances and the people
involved;
o How to do research within the field of OB?
▪ Common sense thinking → wrong! Frequently flawed and based on
misperceptions or even disinformation;
▪ Positivism;
• Natural scientific methods to develop and empirically test
generalizations about behaviour in organisations;
