No, Organizational Behavior helps the workers be more productive and content by recognizing their personal needs and attempting to meld these with the overall objectives of the company. For example, a person that has a personal need of communication with other people would be placed in a job that requires lots of communication.

No, I don't think so. For example, organizational behavior includes motivation right? We can't force someone to have a motivation on a certain thing, so it is up to the staff to decide whether he wants to be motivated or not. hmmm...well, my point is, it will benefit both employee and employer if what they want is really provided in the company. hahaha....i have a point, but it's all mixed up.
I think if an employee gets their source of income from a certain company, and management feels that organizational behavior is essential in improving it, well then, both do benefit from it.

NO. Organizational behavior is the study and application of knowledge about how people as individuals and as groups act within organizations. It attempt to identify ways in which people can act more effectively. Organizational behavior is a scientific discipline in which a large number of research studies and conceptual developments are constantly adding to its knowledge base. It is also an applied science, in that information about effective practices in one organization is being extended to many others. Organizational behavior provides a useful set of tools at many level of analysis. For example, it helps managers look at the behavior of individual within an organization. Especially, OB focuses on how to improve productivity, reduce absenteeism and increase turnover and also increase employees’ job satisfaction.
The first objective is to describe, systematically how people behave under a variety of conditions. Achieving this goal allows managers to communicate about human behavior at work using a common language. A second goal is to understand why people behave as they do. Managers would be highly frustrated if they could only talk about behaviors of their employees, but not understand the reasons behind those actions. Therefore, inquisitive managers learn to prove for understanding explanations.
Predicting future employee behavior is another goal of organizational behavior. Ideally, managers would have the capacity to predict which employees might be dedicated and productive or which ones might be absent, tardy or disruptive on a certain day. The final goal of organizational behavior is to control, at least partially, and develop some human activity at work. Since managers are held responsible for performance outcomes, they are vitally interested in being able to make an impact on employee behavior, skill development, team effort, and productivity.

No it serves the interests of the company so it serves your interests too as an employee. So i feel org behavioural training in necessary to create a good business and to compete in the market. Purely from a labour point of view org behaviour exhibited by mgmt can be good and bad. So it is a necessary evil in the corporate world. Cheers!!
