C715 Organizational Behavior Exam – 120 Questions & Verified Answers | Motivation, Leadership, Teams & Decision-Making 2026 | WGU

This document is a comprehensive C715 Organizational Behavior exam study guide containing approximately 120 exam-style questions with verified answers, focused on key organizational behavior concepts including personality, perception, motivation, leadership, and team dynamics. It begins with foundational topics such as values (instrumental vs terminal), personality theories (MBTI, Big Five traits), and attribution theory, as outlined on page 1–3, where concepts like proactive personality and self-fulfilling prophecy are introduced. The material is organized in a structured question-and-answer format to support active recall and exam success. Middle sections (pages 4–10) provide in-depth coverage of decision-making models (rational model, bounded rationality), cognitive biases (confirmation bias, anchoring bias, availability bias), and motivation theories such as Maslow’s hierarchy, McClelland’s needs theory, and Herzberg’s two-factor theory. Additional content explores group behavior and team effectiveness, including stages of group development (norming), social loafing, team roles, and communication concepts like paraverbal cues and virtual teams. Later sections (pages 10–14) expand into leadership and organizational culture, including transformational leadership, leader-member exchange theory, performance evaluations (360-degree feedback), and workplace dynamics such as conflict resolution, diversity in teams, and organizational culture characteristics. For example, the section on page 12 highlights how a strong organizational culture can reduce employee turnover, while leadership strategies emphasize vision and trust-building. This study guide aligns closely with organizational behavior textbooks such as Organizational Behavior by Stephen P. Robbins and Timothy A. Judge. It is suitable for courses such as C715 Organizational Behavior, Business Management, HR Management, and MBA foundational courses at WGU. This resource is ideal for business students, management students, and professionals preparing for exams, certifications, or improving workplace leadership and decision-making skills.
