Organizational Culture, Rule-Governed Behavior and Organizational
Behavior Management is an introduction to concepts that link
organizational behavior management (OBM) with the fields of
organizational ecology, cultural anthropology, organizational
development, and organizational behavior. This important book can
help OBM researchers and managers more precisely analyze complex
work environments to develop more comprehensive yet highly focused
interventions to improve individual and organizational
effectiveness. Organizational Culture, Rule-Governed Behavior and
Organizational Behavior Management includes theoretical accounts of
rule-governed behavior and cultural practices that expand the OBM's
boundaries to include more comprehensive analyses and intervention
designs that can lead to more effective and larger scale
interventions. Although OBM researchers have long recognized that
the relationships between an organization and its environment are
important for survival, they have not made organization-environment
relations a primary focus of their interventions.In addition, most
descriptions of OBM interventions have not included a precise
account of how the components of the interventions bring about
ultimate performance changes they produce. With this book, OBM
researchers will learn how to identify organizational
behavior/performance targets that can be changed and adapted to
constantly changing competitive environments to improve an
organization's chances of survival. It also outlines two theories
of rule-governed behavior. These theories characterize and explain
how rules and their descriptions work to change or maintain effects
of delayed rewards on current behavior/performance relationships.
In so doing, they fill in the missing links required to achieve
more valid and precise analyses of work environments that can be
expected to result in more precise and effective OBM interventions.
In Organizational Culture, Rule-Governed Behavior and
Organizational Behavior Management, OBM researchers will learn how
organizational cultural practices, organizational effectiveness,
and rule-governed behaviors in organizations interact in complex
ways to determine, in part, the adaptability and long-term survival
of organizations.Reading this book will help academics,
researchers, and practitioners better understand and predict how
people in organizations will react to OBM interventions. All OBM
managers including high-level managers, members of boards of
directors and their consultants who are attempting to develop more
effective organizations, will benefit from these discussions of
organizational adaptation changing competitive environments. This
essential volume presents organizational culture concepts cast in
OBM terms that can be understood by all OBM researchers and
practitioners and will be useful to anyone interested in
organizational development on a large scale. Professors teaching
OBM courses will find this presentation of rule-governed behavior
an essential ingredient to every course in OBM.
