...Behavior is an applied behavioral science built on concepts contributed by a number of related behavioral disciplines. The most influential members of the Organizational Behavior team are psychology, social psychology, sociology, and anthropology. Study of these four disciplines helps one understand the underlying principles that build the overall science of Organizational Behavior. A simple composite definition of Organizational Behavior could be a science that studies the behavior, influence, relationship, and activity within groups.

Organizational Behavior Disciplines It frequently requires a team to accomplish a task. Each member of a well-balanced team contributes a meaningful part of the entire effort to complete the task successfully. This team concept can be applied to the study of Organizational Behavior.

...Title: Socioautobiography Timo Jones Devry University Abstract In this paper, I will be covering my life and the struggles I faced moving from Germany to the United States, as well as the ongoing struggles of being a disabled vet while trying to succeed in life. Socioautobiography Throughout my 21 years of life, I have heard, saw, and learned more about life and its unique struggles then I could ever imagined. As I take a look at my life I notice that I have been living in a world that is designed for the rich and wealthy leaving the rest of society to struggle. Born and raised in Germany, I grew up in a small town in Bavaria; it was very similar to the middle class or lower class in the United States. My parents had very little money but we made things work, we struggled even more since my father was black and my mother German; I was a bi-racial child and already labeled at a young age, alongside my father who always stuck out in the crowd, which made it even harder for us to fit inn. It seemed normal to me that my father could never receive a Job because of his ethnicity, it also seemed normal to me that I could not succeed in school, or receive any kind of tangible acceptance from my grandparents. It was basically left to my Parents to socialize me in a country that wouldn’t really accept me, or my family. (TCO 3, 4 & 5) I was always an outsider and never quite felt comfortable in Germany mainly do to the discrimination that I had seen and felt during...

...after graduation. I have a nice reliable car that my dad is helping me pay for. So, transportation is not a concern I have. Working with others is something I enjoy doing. I enjoy talking and solving problems in group settings. In general, I like to know what is going to happen each day, but I also enjoy excitement. A little bit of both would be the ideal job for me. Depending on what the weather is like is if I want to be indoors or outdoors. If it were nice and sunny I would prefer to be outside enjoying the rays. When it comes to supervision, I prefer an atmosphere where there is not a lot of control and supervision. I am the type of person who likes to get the instructions and then be left by myself or with a group to do the assignment or task. Someday down the road if the situation arises I wouldn't mind taking on the job of supervisor or executive. Work related travel would not bother me. I like to travel and explore new places. Weekly travel may become overwhelming, but traveling every other week or something like that would be fine with me. Job security is very important to me. Once I found the job that I feel...

...Christopher Remaley Principles of Sociology/Professor Stahl Community Service Reflection Paper 3/12/14 As part of my service I went to my church Salem UCC to volunteer for the soup kitchen. As part of the job I was asked to do a number of tasks of all different variety. This included serving food to the people, moving boxes full of food, making runs to the supermarket, putting butter on lots of bread, and washing dishes. Out of all the service I have done I enjoyed serving the food the most. It really feels like a community for the four hours everyone is working together. The best part about it is about an hour after I am done I go back and see all the people that are sitting at the tables or that are in line to get food or that are eating it. When I see that line or see all the people at the table, I am able to realize the immediate impact I am making on the community. Seeing all the people also opened my eyes to a huge problem our society faces. I did not realize hunger was such a big problem here around the church and in many of the surrounding neighborhoods. The number of people on that line illustrates to me that hunger is a large issue that needs to be adressed. Although I will not be available to help on the weekends during most of the summer because I am at work, I am making it a goal to go to the Soup Kitchen much more often during the next school year. Also, after the preparation you can come back and help hand out food. I have not done that but I would love to...

...Flinders University of South Australia, Bedford Park, South Australia This article examines theory and research in the field of work/nonwork relations. Three different theories of work/leisure relations are examined—compensation, generalization, and segmentation. All three theories have received some support; however, the review indicates that much of the available research evidence is constrained by conceptual and methodological problems. A number of paradigms for describing work/leisure patterns are reviewed, and it is concluded that most of these paradigms are more suitable for classifying leisure definitions than for guiding empirical research. Research in this field requires objective definitions of attributes common across life spheres. A task-based description of work and nonwork is discussed, and its research utility is illustrated. It is recommended that future research be concerned with describing different work/leisure patterns, the processes underlying these patterns, and the life consequences associated with different patterns. The meaning and the relationships between labor and leisure, work and contemplation, or in the most general sense, work and nonwork have been a source of intellectual, political, and religious debate for a considerable period in Western history. However, the view that the interplay between labor and leisure forms a major social and intellectual problem is a largely postindustrial phenomenon (Wilensky, I960). 1 Wilensky proposed that there are a...

...A Helping Experiment Introduction to Sociology, Summer II 2010 Rationale Students will experience and explore the challenge of creating knowledge about social life through an important research method used by sociologists: experiments. Students can also work with the scientific process, the steps through which sociologists and other scientists conduct their investigations. This experiment explores whether attachments between people affect whether help is offered. People are "attached" when they like each other or when they have affection for each other. Sociologists consider attachments crucial for social life and have explored their importance in many areas of social behavior, such as conversion to religious groups and deviant behavior. Instructions 1. Decide on some objects to be dropped, such as books, notebooks, coins, or whatever. Several or more items should be dropped. 2. Drop the items in front of a stranger as the stranger passes by. Do so in a way that appears natural. 3. Below describe the circumstances (what you dropped and where) and record whether the stranger helps you pick up the dropped items. Note any other interesting observations as well. 4. Drop these same items in front of a friend. Do so in a way that appears natural. 5. Below describe the circumstances (what you dropped and where) and record whether the friend helps you pick up the dropped items. Note any other interesting observations as well. .

...systems theory was to solve a specific problem with a wide perspective and it also provided a unique language and a set of rules for many studies. The key principle of general theory in terms of philosophy could be summarized like that the whole and the parts are interrelated with each other. In another way, the whole cannot be hold if it's separated from the parts and the parts also cannot be explained if they are isolated from the whole. Besides, the relationship between the whole and the parts makes them indissoluble (Hamilton, 1997). General systems theory developed a structure to describe the general relationship of the complex world. A lot of models are developed in many areas of study such as social psychology, biochemistry, economic sociology and astrophysics. The goal of general systems theory is to construct a framework on combining all the parties together in a valuable relationship. The systems approach focus more on the interactions...

...and the sociology of arbitrage Donald MacKenzie Abstract Arbitrage is a key process in the practice of financial markets and in their theoretical depiction: it allows markets to be posited as efficient without all investors being assumed to be rational. This article explores the sociology of arbitrage by means of an examination of the arbitrageurs, Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM). LTCM’s 1998 crisis is analysed using both qualitative, interview-based data and quantitative examination of price movements. It is suggested that the roots of the crisis lay in an unstable pattern of imitation that had developed in the markets within which LTCM operated. As the resulting ‘superportfolio’ began to unravel, arbitrageurs other than LTCM fled the market, even as arbitrage opportunities became more attractive, causing huge price movements against LTCM. Three features of the sociology of arbitrage are discussed: its conduct by people often personally known to each other; the possibility and consequences of imitation; and the limits on the capacity of arbitrage to close price discrepancies. It is suggested that by 1998 imitative arbitrage formed a ‘global microstructure’ in the sense of Knorr Cetina and Bruegger. Keywords: arbitrage; economic sociology; imitation; Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM); globalization; risk. Introduction Of all the contested boundaries that define the discipline of sociology, none is more crucial than the divide between sociology and economics...

...CCTV surveillance and the civic conversation: a study in public sociology Author(s): Sean P. Hier , Dan Lett and Kevin Walby Source: Canadian Journal of Sociology. 35.3 (Summer 2010): p437. Document Type: Report Copyright : COPYRIGHT 2010 Canadian Journal of Sociology http://www.ualberta.ca/~cjscopy/subinfo.html Abstract: Public sociology is being debated across the social sciences. This article examines how sociologists can enter concretely into a civic conversation through the research process. We present partial findings from a Canada-wide investigation into how city street video surveillance systems are implemented in various communities. Our aim is to examine some of the challenges of doing public sociology by examining sociological knowledge production and communication with diverse publics. Data gleaned from focused group interviews in the City of Kelowna, British Columbia are presented to explore the challenges of facilitating a civic conversation about public policy on city street video surveillance. Keywords: public sociology; public-area video surveillance; Burawoy; public opinion La notion captivante de << sociologie publique >> a recemment anime des debats dans le monde des sciences sociales. Bien que ces debats aient permis de soulever des questions pertinentes relativement au statut de la production du savoir sociologique, on n'a pas apporte suffisamment de reflexion sur la maniere dont les sociologues entrent reellement dans une conversation...
