Impact of Organizational Structure and Leadership

Question: Discuss about the Impact of Organizational Structure and Leadership. Answer: Introduction: The relationship between Personality and Job performance is an important part of a successful company, industry or any type of organization. The relation between personality and job performance is an important subject or we can say a topic which is taken into consideration very seriously in various successful companies for a long time. The meaning of job performance is clear to us from its name, i.e. the performance of an employee of the company regarding its work or job. Actually the job performance depends upon various types of factors for its complete construction (Halim Zainal, 2015). Job performance tells us about the performance an employee of a company against a particular job or task given to it by the company. How well an employee performs that task can also be viewed by this process. Job performance also tells us about the initiatives taken by the employees of the company for doing any type of task. Further, this study also describes about the maximum extent up to which th e employees of an organization completes that task. This study helps an organization or the company in judging the utilization of various resources given to them by the company for performing different different tasks. This study indicates about the methods being used by the employees of the company for completion of a task given to them. It also indicates about time and the energy spent by the employees in fulfilling their task (Thisera, 2013). The personality of an employee also plays an important part in performing his or her job. Personality indicates various things about a person. It helps an organization or a company in indicating the general tendency to experience various factors such as feeling of fear, feeling of embarrassment, anger, sadness, guilt, etc. in any person or an employee of the company. Personality also indicates about extraversion of a person which includes various factors like sociability and talkativeness etc. it also tells about the intellectual curiosity of an employee to experience new thing from time to time in performing various tasks successfully for the sake of the company (Rothmann Coetzer, 2003). The personality of a person also describes about the will strength of that particular person for a task assigned to it by its organization. The way of talking, the way of thinking and the way, according to which one behaves with the other, is represented from this study. How an employee of a company behaves and communicates with others shows its personality. Personality and the job performance of an employee are related to each other. Nowadays, most of the companies, industries or any other organization either on a large scale or small one, each of them wants an employee who is well personalized as well as has good performance (Barrick Mount, 1991). Personality and performance plays an important role in a person or an employees life because these two qualities affect a lot to the company, industry or an organization to which they are related or we can say for which they are working. A person with good personality and work performance can completely change the work environment surrounding it. Therefore, it can be judged that the environment is completely influenced by the performance and the personality of an employee of a company. The personality of a person shows its attitude with others. The way a person takes decisions for a particular task is represented by its work performance as well as through its personality. Personal skills of a person also affect the workplace hugely, because it shows the action and the reaction of that person during the work. Personality and the performance of an employee show the quality of leadership. Personality also affects various things like conflict, motivation, etc. in a group of employees of an organization (Shahhosseini, et al., 2012). There are different different views of the people which affect the job performance as well as the personality of the other person. Personality and job performance of an employee helps an organization in judging various qualities of that employee. These qualities show that how an individual can handle a problem with the help of his personal beliefs, skills, values, etc. There are many factors such as agreeableness, quality of openness and stability to emotions, etc. which helps the company in making various predictions like an individual will have more or less conflicts, he or she will be able to work in a group or not and positive or negative a ttitudes towards their work or job assigned to them by the company. These are those factors which cant be easily changed because these factors are developed throughout a persons lifetime. So this study helps the management of a company to understand the positive and negative points of their employees rather than to fight with them while assigning any type of task to them for the betterment of the company (Maria, 2013). Interpersonal skills of a person or an employee of a company greatly affects the work environment of that company (Chu Huang, 2013). The positive attitude of an employee affects the company work with positivity and the negative attitude of an employee will affect the work of the company negatively. A person or an employee having a positive attitude or the positive nature, qualities generally enjoys completing his or her task while working. The positive attitude of an employee towards its work helps in motivating other employees of the company. A person having positive factors have the sensitivity and empathy, which helps them to act nicely with other employees working at a same work place. Management of the company provides special and important tasks to the employees having positive nature regarding to their work. Employees having a positive attitude are often placed at good designation in the company and they help the company in managing other employees of that company, dealing wi th important customers of the company and solving major problems being faced by the company. Taking important decisions in the company for the sake of the company is greatly influenced by the attitude of the employee which is a part of its performance and his or her personality (Tsai Chang, 2007). Positive qualities of an employee helps him/her in taking right decisions for the sake of the company under a great pressure, but on the other hand the person with negative qualities will be unable to make the right decision for the betterment of the company in those such conditions of great pressures and work load. This study helps the management in placing the right person in the right place to perform various tasks placing in appropriate positions so that they can give their best to the company for which they are working depending upon their qualities. If the management places an employee on a designation according to its nature and attitude than it automatically raises the motivation level of that employee and he/she will be able to work nicely and can easily complete his/her task in a specific time slot (Sakiru, et al., 2013). The overall job performance of an employee as well as of the company will be raised, because each employee will be happy with his/her work and will raise the level of their work on a daily basis. Therefore, the overall productivity of the company will get raised which automatically increases the business of the company if and only if the employees of the company are happy and are satisfied with the work assigned to them by the management (Agbim, 2013). Organizational Behaviour (OB) can be defined as the knowledge or a study related to an individual in an organization, as well as it also provides a description about the nature of the organization itself. Organizational behaviour helps in understanding the nature of various employees working in a company and it is becoming a necessary part of each and every organization day by day because people with different backgrounds and cultural values have to work together in an effective and efficient manner for the betterment of the company (Greek, 2016). Organizational behaviour provides a vision to an organization with the help of which the management can easily forecast that how employees will behave with each other. Therefore, this vision helps an organization in controlling the employees having a negative attitude towards their work for the benefit of the company. Organizational behaviour (OB) helps the management in indicating various factors or we can say important trends which are ne cessary for the development of the company or an organization. It helps an organization in making important decisions and selecting a particular method or an approach to complete the work and carrying its business worldwide. Organizational behaviour helps the management of the company in evaluating the relevance among many different approaches. It helps in maintaining the relationship between the practical work and the theoretical work of an organization by following various types of topologies. Organizational behaviour helps in predicting the various study values taken into consideration by the company for the completion of the task and in achieving its aim or mission. It also provides the information about establishing a basis for consideration of the various aspects (Ashraf, 2014). The interrelationship between the employees of an organization and the various management practices can be viewed easily and quickly with the help of organizational behaviour. It is the responsibility of the OB (Organizational behaviour) to make an understanding between the management and the employees, so that employees can easily understand the need of change required for the company. It gives the information to the employees about the important tasks which require more attention while performing them for a successful completion. Organizational behaviour (OB) provides the various resources required by the employees of the organization for performing their job. It provides the complete knowledge about the work or task to the employees, so that they can easily understand the method that how they have to do that particular task assigned to them by the management. The organizational behaviour of each and every successful company or an organization needs to apply the relationship between personality and the job performance for selecting an appropriate person for their company. It should recruit only those types of persons those who are having a good personality being followed by a good quality of working performance. If a person selected as having both the qualities than he/she can perform their assignments more effectively and efficiently, while creating a working env ironment around them (Parra Marengi, 2012). According to this study, we can easily imagine the importance and various advantages of the relation between the personality and the performance of a person or an employee. According to this a person should have both types of qualities, i.e. he/she should have a good personality as well as good performance to easily compete with other. A person can nourish his/her qualities by expanding their contacts list containing those persons which can provide benefits to them in their job through providing benefits to the company. An employee should actively participate in various activities being performed within the company. They need to participate in solving the problems being faced by the company from time to time and should have a clear image about the aim or the goal they want to achieve. Management of the company should provide easy presentations to the employees with the help of organizational behaviour. The management of the company should reward their employees those who are working well for the company, which automatically motivates and forces other employees of the company to improve their performance. This type of motivation will increase the overall performance of the company, which lead to increase the market value of the company and productivity of the company. Management of the company should need to check and should take a survey from time to time that either the employees are satisfied with their job or not. A person should change itself from time to time for modifying the various qualities related to his/her personality and working ability. An employee should attain the quality of leadership which is a part of both personality as well as performance. If he/she is having those qualities which are required by most of the companies nowadays then he/she can easily survive in the competitive environment of the company. If a person attains both the qualities, than he/she can be placed on a good designation in the company by the management. An employee should know about the different culture of the countries so that it can be beneficial for the company to carry its business across the boundaries through those employees. He/she should have the knowledge about different languages, so that they can easily communicate with the people of different countries. This also helps them to communicate with the employees working with them who belong to different cultures and countries. Therefore, we can say that OB scholars and leaders should follow the concept of the relationship between personality and the job performance for the sake an organization. References Agbim, K., 2013.
