Course: Organizational Behavior
Internal Assignment Applicable for June 2023 Examination

Q1. Leadership is widely regarded as a critical attribute that is becoming increasingly scarce
in organizations. It is a process in which an individual seeks the support of others to achieve
common goals. Leaders are visionary individuals who act as catalysts in motivating and
influencing others. Given these statements, it is essential to examine the importance of
leadership in any organization. Conclude by answering that how the organisation would fare
if leadership is not right? (10 Marks)

Q2. Harvey and Weems are Team leaders of team A and B respectively. Harvey is very open
to feedback and does not let his perception rule his decision. He takes action based on facts
and figures whereas Weems get carried away with his perception. Team A is very happy and
motivated team which is clearly visible by their performance and just the reverse goes for
team B. Weems takes aid from a self-help book where he reads about the managerial
implications of perception. When he does a self-analysis he understood that all this while he
was working totally under the influence of his perception. Weems decides to take a plunge
and modify his behaviour. Discuss any three managerial implications of perception and
conclude by stating that what could have made Weems change his way of behaving?
(10 Marks)

Q3. John and Jacob are co-workers. They both are working in the same project but their
work values are very different from each other. John belongs to GenX (The X Generation)
and relies a lot on the team-work as well as its (team’s)progression and upliftment, whereas
Jacob is from GenY (The Y Generation) or the Millennial and for him self-reliance is more
important. Though they share a great personal rapport but they always are found having
disagreement at work.

a) Explain the reason for their disagreement? It is natural to have such disagreement, give
concluding remarks for Jacob’s behaviour in terms of the generational values.
(5 Marks)

b) Introduce the value system of your generation. Discuss the rest of the generations and
their values? (5 Marks)
