Microscopic approach to organizational behavior

In the article features of the microscopic approach to organizational behavior are considered. It is noted that microscopic approach focuses on the study and analysis of the internal environment of the organization, the internal connections between organizational elements. Microscopic approach to organizational behavior is also in the understanding of human nature, the knowledge of the laws that influence individual behavior. The article discusses the issues which still have not received due attention in the field of human resources management. It is such questions as denial of human corporeality by modern organizations, when biological peculiarities, circadian rhythms are not taken into account; at the same time the parameters of the human body are used to reinforce the functions of control, for example, organizations use lie detector or biometric security organization. Practically no attention is paid to ergonomics of workplace and space. Age peculiarities of the personnel are ignored in career planning, development of system of motivation and incentives, connection of personal and professional development crises. Gender peculiarities of organizational behavior also rarely become the subject of study. The problem of motivation in organizational behavior is understood wider than in control theory, since motivation refers to a full range of factors, conscious and unconscious, that guide human behavior. Nevertheless, it is also necessary to consider the fact that the main motivational techniques used are power or manipulative methods of influence. One must pay attention to the fact that the motivational and emotional systems are inextricably linked in human behavior - emotions serve motivational activities, and the motivation of any conduct is largely determined by the emotional attitude. Despite this, many modern organizations suffer organizational alexithymia, ignoring the emotions of employees at their workplaces. The problem of loyalty and commitment of staff is another important problem of organizational behavior. Loyalty and competence are different phenomena, and loyalty can hide incompetence, while a competent officer will not always be loyal to the organization. National peculiarities are also an important factor, which influences the behavior of employees, and this factor is currently neglected. Training aids on organizational behavior are based on analysis of peculiarities of conduct of the European employee. Russia has a number of national peculiarities, which will influence the behavior of a person within the organization, but there are no studies devoted to this important issue. Thus, microscopic approach to organizational behaviour draws attention to a number of current issues in the field of human resources management.
