Organizational behavior is basically the study of how people interact with each other within groups with an aim of creating a cohesive business organization. Theories regarding the concept of organizational behavior are all centered at purpose of maximizing the output of each member of the organization and hence the increment in the overall output of the organization (Phillips & Gully, 2013). The study has embraced several methods depending on the nature or the context of the organizational behavior much of which are found in the social sciences. Among them, quantitative research, computer simulation and qualitative research are the most common methods (Phillips & Gully, 2013).

Teamwork is part of the organizational behavior which is a skill that ensures that different members are working towards a specific goal of the organization and with one accord. Organizational behavior highlights the culture of the organization (Phillips & Gully, 2013).       Teamwork therefore introduces the culture of full utilization of different employees’ talents, human resource involvement and participation. The immediate outcome of the teamwork skills in an organization would be increased profits,ease in achieving the collective goals, improvement of skills and competence. These are the key marks of business integration and therefore they affect the productivity of the organization (Phillips & Gully, 2013).

Next, the managers are required to have been grounded on management skills while they are improving organizational behavior. Management skills include time management, planning and implementation of ideas to meet the required height. Through the management skill, it is easy for managers to introduce a culture that effectively establishes organizational goals, delegates the duties and sets priorities. The team of management is also able to conduct performance appraisals and other assessments so that the move of the organization is well defined. Management skills affect the productivity by the defining the direction planning, leading and assessing the move (Phillips & Gully, 2013).

It is also important to note that communication skills is an essential element of organizational behavior because it defines the flow of information throughout the organization. Effective communication skills keeps the various offices informed and updated for the purpose of handling matters that arise. Communication enables the staff members to communicate on internal and external issues of the business environment with an aim of addressing them for an action concerning them to be taken. Communication skills have been proven to have a significant impact on the production outcome of any organization (Phillips & Gully, 2013). This is through addressing issues that slow organizational growth, providing a way forward on how to fix them and recommending any job that is well one.

Lastly, technical skills are vital in the practical process of a company’s production. These skills are acquired from training and experience and therefore the organization can either have a literate or an illiterate human resource. Technical skills allow the members to run machines, devices and other equipment in an organization hence becoming an essential skill. Technical skills save cost through the minimization of hiring cost of skilled labor since the workers are well equipped (Phillips & Gully, 2013).

Since the organizational behavior reflects the capabilities, weaknesses and the opportunities of an organization, a platform from which decisions can be made is provided. For instance, an organizational behavior that has less skilled labor, the decision making would be based on recruiting knowledgeable workers. When the behavior is unethical, various counterproductive work behavior can be prefigured. These include employee mistreatment, personality concerns as well as lack of motivation (Phillips & Gully, 2013).
