Organization in the Ultimate Organization

Organization in the Ultimate Organization

What makes an organization? What makes it work? These are essential questions any employer needs to assess with in the creation of their organization. These questions are also the bases of organizational behavior. You may ask what is organizational behavior well allow me to enlighten you. Organizational behavior is the interaction of an individual with human behavior and the organization itself. So in lame man terms it is how a person affects with others in the organization and how they fit in to the organization themselves. So know the person, the organization, the person in the organization, and the people the person interacts with in the organization.

The word organization has a different meaning to all and most of us usually it is associated with large, big business corporations, like Microsoft, the government, and others of the same stature. The problem with this perception is that it is not just these large companies are a form of organization. People forget that even the mom and pa store down the street is an organization. They still have requirements of how to treat customers, employees, and the community in an appropriate way.

An organization is only as good as its people. In organizational behavior we are taught about the individual process, the interpersonal process, and the organizational process. The way an organization works can determine it's people's attitudes, perceptions, ambitions, and commitment to their organization. This is done through different forms of measurements like, feedbacks, evaluations, and through intrinsic and extrinsic awards. Also to intense people to join the organization can be compared through the pay given, benefits offered, and inducements.

Everyone has different things that motivate their decisions. For some people it's the money and benefits. Others it's the enjoyment of their positions or work they do. Others do it for the fulfillment that receive from working a job that satisfies a need for them, usually a feeling of doing a good service, example police or teacher, or providing a needed service. The biggest thing that draws a person to a certain organization though is the job itself. Every organization owns the future employee a job analysis with a strong job description, job specification and skills, knowledge, task and abilities assessment before they take the position they are wanted for with in the organization. Not providing the future employee with this essential information can lead to unwanted attitudes, organizational discouragement, and disruption in the organizational functions and commitment. Angier and negative can spread like a virus in an organization going from the employee, to the management, and can reach as far as the customers. So providing your employees and future employees with the right tools to keep them happy can be your antibiotics.

Well what if the organization you worked for lied to you. It requires that you signed an agreement to work for them and by doing so now have control over your ever action. This allows the fact that they can even hurt you and get away with it. Most who join actually feel they were lied to in order for them to sign this agreement. Within a short time many learn to hate the position they were put in due to the fact that the job is not what described to them of what it would be. In my mind this organization would no longer be in operation, and people would run at the mention of this organizations name.

How would you like it if you were told what to do everyday? How to do it? Where to live? How you can act? Even which employee you can associate with during work time and leisure time? You also have no time to really settle there is constant travel associated with the job. Fellow employees and bosses are being exchanged more often than you can get use to. Pay is relatively low, but benefits are good. Raise are a bit difficult to come by with out an act of congress. Plus to move up in management it is not based on performance but by seniority. So you can have a leader with no to poor knowledge of the job but has been there the longest and gains a new position.

Well thousands of man and women of legal age sign years of their life away just to live like this and actually enjoy it. They are put directly in danger and forced to endure some of most unreasonable work conditions. The workforce is extremely diverse and is considered to be the most organized organization in the world. Well I sure it has been figured out that I am speaking of the Girls Scouts of America, just kidding, their not very diverse. I am really speaking of the United States military, but for the purpose of this case it will be narrowed down to a branch, The United States Air Force, and career field, Aircraft Armament aka weapons loader, with in the United States military.

Although, the military is made out to be the best of the well oiled and fast running machines in the nation. Some of us, those disabled now due to incompetent treatment in the military, will let you know that is an image not as true as it is made to seem. Like airbrushing on a super model for a photo shot, the faults of the military are covered up through such programs as Veterans Affairs, Vocational Rehabilitation, and the disability. I want to discuss it in my point of view through my three years I spent severing in the Air Force as a weapons troop. The trials of being told I was joining a fighting team that never worked together. Being the only woman in an all male field. My release from the military and discouragement it caused for me to have with the whole organization. Finally, the way a young girls dream, faith in people, and health was snatched in such a short period of life.

Well first before you can understand what I am about to explain you needed to understand what happened day in an out in this organization? We were structured into what are called flights, which were lead, by the officers whom handled the interpersonal roles. Each aircraft type had it's own flight which are lead by flight chiefs that fill the information roles, and each flight was divided in to section which worked on each of the individual parts of the jet, such as, we had engine mechanics, guess what they did, specialist, the computer techs, weapon troops, and about five more divisions. Then with in these divisions we had crews, and the crews broke down into ranks.

My job as an aircraft armament troop or weapons troop, as slang, worked on the weapons systems of the jet, mine was the F-16 fighter jet, the guns system, the internal matrix, and the synod system the connect the loaders to the jet. We always worked in crew of three. The one man was the NCO or the manger that filled the decision -making roles, the two men was in charge of the supplies and tools,
