Assignment Brief Assignment

Scenario: You are employed as an Organizational Behavior Analyst for a consulting firm that specializes in conducting organizational behavior audits for organizations. The new CEO of a local company wants to conduct an Organizational Behavior Audit and has contacted your firm for help. The first deliverable for the project is a Plan for Conducting an Organizational Behavior Audit that must be presented to the CEO for approval before the actual audit may begin. You have been given the task of producing this plan for your organization.

Write a 4000 word essay (+/- 10%) that provides a comprehensive “Plan for Conducting an Organizational Behavior Audit.” Your plan must provide the rationale or reason why it is important to understand the organizational behavior of a company, the areas within the organization that should be assessed in such an Audit and the factors that should be evaluated within each area. In answering the question, you may want to consider the following questions:

1. Why should an organization conduct an Organizational Behavior Audit?

2. What areas within an organization should be evaluated as part of an Organizational Behavior Audit?

3. What factors within each area should be evaluated in it? Why are these factors important? How do these factors influence or affect the organizational behavior of a firm? Remember, this assignment is asking you to provide a plan for conducting such audit. You are not conducting the audit itself. Your response should be tied to theoretical concepts found within the Organizational Behaviour literature and field of study. Please note that this is an individual assignment and will require the use of resources beyond those found in the module materials.
