Employees Vs. Ants - OB & HR purpose.. 

See the video..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxqQLrCic5k

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz3rFpRrkbA

Can we compare Ants with Employees ? For work behavior, working styles, Work performance..

Ants Vs. Employees - What are the differences in the way Ants and People work ?

• Always Work for Good of Group - Good for self and Good for group
• Brain less , Heartfull  working Vs. - Lots of brain and lots of heart
• No hierarchy - Huge hierarchy, status, power, control  
• Instinctively  work - Work If only Inspired and Motivated
• Specialization - Specialization and No specialization 
• Relationships are intact never distrubed - Relationships are maintained and disturbed

NOTE THIS : IMPORTANT

• Ants can do only Natural things and can do only naturally. But Humans can do even natural things. and work  beyond their natural capacities..
• 
  
• Work wise, humans can beat ants. But Ants cannot beat Humans !..

Is it possible that employees can work far better than the ants ? How..? 

Is it  OB & HR course / subject aim  to train the managers who can make people work like A N T S ? 

Do we have employees  who work like A N T S ? .. 

OB & HR course: Some questions for you

Some of you must have worked in some organsiations. Let us think of your experiences.

Whether your organisations / bosses / managers could harness your full potential as part of your earlier organizations? Yes / No. ...

How do you rate yourself your own work behaviour in your earlier organiation !

• Your Job Satisfaction  ( ??? out of 10 points )
• Your Organl. Commitment   ( ??? out of 10 points )
• Your Extent of Teamworking   ( ??? out of 10 points ) 
• Your contribution to organisation _ Your Performance  ( ??? out of 10 points )

 I am sure, if data collected and analysesed, the results will reveal of your OB. The results arrived also will reflect the HRM that is being applied in your earlier organisations which is the reason for the results.

Some questions....

How to understand the OB ?
How to design and implement  HRM so that better OB results are achieved of employees ?

The assumption is that ' Better OB leads to better Organisational Performance '............

Organisation Integration Collaboration Designed with Consciously

Organisations are consciously designed and well integrated collaborations  like R O P Es.

 1. Smallest particle ATOM  to biggest thing BRAHMAND  - Everything in this world is O R G A N I S E D..  Organizing is nothing N E W.   Example:  Atom - Molecule - Organ - Body - etc...

Organizations ( Business - NGOs )  are created by Human beings  called -  Entrepreneurs / Managers.
