Introduction
Background of the Study
The Philippines is advancing in terms of economic status. There are many factors that
contribute to the advancement of the country’s economy. One of which is putting up small or
large scale business. Small scale business is privately owned either by a sole proprietor,
partners or corporators which hires small number of employees and receives a lower volume of
sales. Whereas, large scale business are big business companies that needs large capital and
employs large number of employees. Large scale business includes big corporations,
educational institution, malls and other large companies.
Heath. C. & Sitkin. S.B. (2001) defined organizational behavior as a field of study that
investigates the impact that individuals, groups and structures have on behavior within
organizations, for the purpose of applying such knowledge towards improving an organization’s
effectiveness. The performance of the employee is influence by several factors such as
dissimilar cultures of a particular individual or group, the level of educational system, the
building of psychological status, the balancing of work-life conflicts, managing workforce
diversity and others.
These factors greatly contribute to the mood of the environmental
workplace.
In the operation of educational institution small or large scale involve sensitive consideration
in the behavior of the school employees. One of the factor that influence an effective school
operation is the psychological aspects of the employees which includes human relations, good
decision making, stable emotion, healthy relations with the peers and wider tolerance to stress.

Another factor that is essential was expressed by Danish & Usman. (2010). The rewards which
includes financial compensation, benefits, promotions and incentives which provide satisfaction
to employees. Also, the recognition on the other hand, described how organization evaluates
the work of employees and how much appreciation is gained by the employees in return.
Moreover, Landy (as cited in Schidmt, 2007) mentioned that training and development are set
of planned activities in order to improve job knowledge and skills and to align employees
attitudes and behaviors with the goals of the organization and the requirements of job.
In business, there is a huge amount of different kind of people that has a different kind
of personality and intelligence who work together every year in the same organization and they
should work as one in the business. Organizational behavior is important in the business
because it helps to increase the effectiveness and it can create a healthy and good flow in the
organization. Having goodwill in an organization is a big impact to the business because they
can motivate one of each people in the organization to achieve the objectives quickly. It could
be helpful if the individual or group of people work together in the business has a good
communication or relationship because it can improve their attitudes and how they act in an
organization because it would be the way to lead them in the higher efficiency and being
organize in an society can lead them to a successful organization. They acquire most of the
material possessions from organizational and die as members of organization and the study of
organizational behavior in the business can greatly clarify the factors that affect how the
managers manage the people in organization and it can see if they work properly because they
have
a
multiple
of
people
in
an
organization.
