Organizational Behaviour
Now the days have passed when people use to search for a government job, and it was easy to get them. Born and brought up in the same city, getting educated there and finally getting placed also, was very easy.
Now the scene has changed altogether
After doing 12th, you cannot say where your children will shift for higher studies.
After studies the competition is so tough, that everything is uncertain. Job shifting culture has made the workers a little bit insecure.
This insecurity sometimes results in non-cordial relations. When the employee enters in an organization, it becomes his/her home because most of the time you are in the organization.
Mutual healthy relations take the organization at a high place and at the same time, the workers also enjoy the work of the institute and are saved of so many uncalled problems like tension, depression, ego problem, and being jealous.
All these problems shadow the personality of the employees, and as a result the prestige and reliability of the Institute goes down. It harms both.
First of all before joining an organization, try to have the thorough knowledge of the organization. The salary does not matter much, if you have good surroundings, healthy work atmosphere. You should join the organization with the commitment to yourself that you will go a long way with the organization. Try to please the boss with your work, and the subordinates with your behavior.
From the 1st day of your job, try to maintain a daily diary. I have served for more than 46 years of service, and I have maintained the daily diary from the seventies, to date. This helps you to knit a close relation with the organization you work. You do homework for the next day presentation.
Every line and word reminds you about the culture of the organization and you can study others’ behavior as well. This helps to put you in presentable position with crystal clear solutions to the problems you and your colleagues are facing.
Cordial Relations
Mutual cordial relations, inter-department meetings are some of the ways by which you can get the full knowledge of all other departments also. Exchange of views solves so many problems then and there. We used to hear “Meeting and Eating”. This sentence of seventies has proved its meaning lately in these years.
When you meet, you discuss and try to get solutions with mutual consent, and at the same time in between the meeting, eating helps us to knit some personal relations also. Some solutions of outing may come out during that eating which refreshes the employees.
Patience
In your probation period, you must cultivate the habit of patience. Patience helps you to have a thorough study of the organization and its employees. When you react impatiently, you are deprived of so many things. You are deprived of the solutions to so many problems. Your questions are unanswered.
Whereas if you hear patiently, review it in your mind and then react, you may have the chances of getting solid solutions and the suggestions you never dreamt of.
Today we have the culture of advice of Counselors.
When we come across of some problems which are beyond our control, and it seems that something should be done to make the Institute atmosphere healthy, we must go for that also.
With the expansion of the work circle of professional and industrial organizations, the psycho problems of the workers are also increasing. In this situation opting for Industrial and Organizational Psychology as a career can be a good option

They do research in the institute, collect the data and review it and after reviewing they make behavioral changes in the employees so that both, the Institute and the worker is benefitted. They also discuss with the top most officers and try to solve the problems. They prepare company’s aims and Strategy.
Personal Skill
The first and the most important quality is that you must have the instinct to understand your and others’ views. You must have the quality of sympathy. The I.O. Psychologist must have the quality of sensitivity in good sense. Good Communication skills will be an added quality to get success. The person related to this job should be a good listener because you cannot give good advice until you do not listen to the problems of the other person.
