Improving Workplace Effectiveness Through Sound Organisational Norms And Workers Behaviour
Keywords:
Managers, Workplace effectiveness, Workers behaviour, Organisational normsAbstract
Over the years, organizations are floated for the purpose of creating and providing goods and or rendering services for the improvement of the prosperity of the society. However, currently, the Nigerian business sector had experienced increased organizational crisis. Hence, this is a clear evidence which shows that these organizations have failed in meeting their societal obligations. Based on this, this review therefore, examined how organizational norms and workers behaviour can improve work place effectiveness. The results disclosed among others that organizational norm is one of the internal control machineries put in place by management to guide managers and employees on how to behave and interact in a workplace so as to achieve organisational goals. Based on this, it was amidst others recommended that organizations should encourage the practice of sound norms since it is a mechanism for moulding behaviour and attitudes of employees and that it should not be used as instrument of victimization in both public and private organizations.
