Organizational behavior has a big area to study. There are many different elements that they are related to each other like a chain. The three important aspects that I like to share about the importance are: (a) motivation (b) communication (c) leadership.
One of the key elements to any successful organization is the people in positions of leadership. “Leadership is the ability to influence a group toward the achievement of goals.†(Robins, page 221) “A survey among Fortune 500 companies revealed some interesting things about people who had been placed in leadership positions. It was discovered that all of the surveyed managers initially possessed the same basic abilities. What was revealing was that those who did not make it to the top rung of the ladder were considered insensitive, aloof, autocratic, greedy, self-centered and arrogant by others.
An organization can be effective with a strong study of organizational behavior. Motivation, Communication, and Leadership are important parts of job satisfaction.

The core of any organization is its personnel and success depends on people. The goal of a company should be to increase profitability, increase growth and innovation, and introduce new values and culture into the organization. In order for us to remain competitive, we need to have "maximum quality, minimum cost, and [maintain peak performance]" (Ahls, 2001, page no. 6).
It is important for us to acknowledge that the lack of communication between staff/personnel, as well as insufficient feedback from managers/bosses leads to conflict in the workplace.

HARVARD MANAGEMENT TIPS
Get Your Good People to Stay
Few leaders succeed without great talent supporting them. So retaining your star employees is not only good for the company, but for you as leader. Here are three ways to keep your best people around:
Trust the team. Give your people the opportunity to use their unique strengths every day. Allow them to do what they are best at.
Make connections. Spend time every day checking in with individuals to see how they're doing — personally and professionally. Avoid private or sensitive topics unless your employee brings them up.
Respect individuality. Recognize your people's individual needs, and customize assignments, perks, and recognition accordingly.
