Section 1: Foundations of Organizational Behavior
Definition, Disciplines, Levels of Analysis, and Research Methods — Questions Q1 through Q10
[Unit 1 | Recall | Direct]
Q1: Organizational behavior is best defined as the study of:
A. Individuals, groups, and structures within organizations and their effect on behavior
[CORRECT]
B. How organizations are financially structured
C. Marketing strategies and consumer decision-making
D. Government regulations affecting business operations
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Organizational behavior (OB) studies the behavior of individuals, groups, and structures
within organizations and applies that knowledge to improve organizational effectiveness. It is a
multidisciplinary field drawing from psychology, sociology, social psychology, anthropology, and
political science. Test-taking tip: focus on 'individuals, groups, structures + behavior + effectiveness'.
[Unit 1 | Recall | Direct]
Q2: Which of the following is NOT a contributing discipline to organizational behavior?
A. Psychology — individual behavior
B. Sociology — group dynamics
C. Astrology — predicting behavior from celestial patterns [CORRECT]
D. Anthropology — cultural influences
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: OB draws from psychology, sociology, social psychology, anthropology, and political science.
Astrology is a pseudoscience and is not a contributing discipline. Psychology studies individual behavior;
sociology examines group dynamics; anthropology studies cultural influences on organizations.
Test-taking tip: 'astrology' or any non-empirical field is never a contributing discipline.
[Unit 1 | Recall | Direct]
Q3: At which level of analysis in OB do researchers study motivation, perception, and
learning?
A. Organizational level — structure and culture
B. Group level — teams and communication
C. Individual level — motivation, perception, and learning [CORRECT]
D. Societal level — economic trends
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: OB has three levels of analysis: individual (motivation, perception, learning, personality),
group (teams, communication, leadership, conflict), and organizational (structure, culture, change).
Test-taking tip: 'individual = motivation, perception, learning, personality'; 'group = teams,
communication, leadership'; 'organizational = structure, culture, change'.
[Unit 1 | Recall | Direct]
Q4: At the group level of analysis, organizational behavior examines all of the following
EXCEPT:
A. Communication patterns
B. Leadership and power
C. Organizational structure and design [CORRECT]
