Introduction

The objectives of an organization are fulfilled by the arrangement of the process, equipment, and

functions, and it referred to the organizational behavior. The researcher has studied three

concepts in the course OLCU 300 which are 1) conflict and negotiations in teams, 2)

communication barriers, 3) leadership. These concepts have changed the thinking and behavior

of the researcher towards an organization. Specific concepts have created a difference in the

professional and personal life of the researcher who has a military background. In this paper, the

researcher discusses the concepts of organization behavior covered in the class and their

reflection on his daily life that is based on military rules. The concepts define how people and

groups act in any organization.In this paper, the researcher analysis these three concepts by

reflecting the change occurred due to these concepts. Military Family background of makes a

person well disciplined and well mannered. A conclusion section summarizes the overall

analysis of this paper.

Analysis

a) Conflict and negotiation in Teams

conflicts are faced by the owners of an organization with the partners, managers,

employees, etc.

management theory is raised to resolve the disputes and to emphasize the negotiation or

bargaining.

III. Outside the classroom, the researcher along with his fellows was trying to do some local

real estate business. He used the conflict and negotiation point, and in this way, he

collected a lot of funds and force. The researcher changed the composition ofthe teams by

separating their categories. In this way, the thinking of the researcher and behavior is

changed.

IV. The researcher used the conflict and negotiation strategies and principles to implement

this concept. Conflict management has useful techniques which were helpful in

improving the behavior and has made the researcher like a military man.

V. Applying this concept has released the frustration, stress, and tension between the

researcher and the team members. Emotions and feelings of both the researcher and the

team members enhanced the personal and professional effectiveness of the researcher

(Burrell & Morgan, 2017).

b) Communication barrier

I. Physical, cultural, semantic, and interpersonal communication barriers are considered to

be present as a free loop between the sender and the receiver in any organization.

Communication barrier concept is valuable in organizational behavior because

misunderstanding in any organization behavior leads towards undesirable actions and

irreplaceable damage. It is helpful in maintaining the flow of communication. Monroe’s

motivation sequence can be taken as a step to overcome the communication barriers in

any organization.

II. The researcher has described an example from his military life outside the classroom.

While doing the local real estate business team members were from different areas and

societies which have raised the communication gap. The researcher has applied active

listening skills among his team members due to which the points and messages were

understood by everyone. Despite the interruption, the organization behavior went well.

c) Leadership

I. In an organization behavior, leadership is defined as a concept of the ability to manage

the things. As making sound decisions and performing according to them by using

leadership techniques is a process of directing the behavior, and achieving the goals. It

skills which made him generous and humble with his team members.
