CHAPTER ONE-INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
Organizational behavior is a field of study that investigates the impact of individuals, groups and
structures upon behavior within an organization. It is an interdisciplinary field that includes
sociology, psychology, communication, and management; and it complements the academic
studies of organizational theory (which is focused on organizational and intra-organizational
topics) and human resource studies (which is more applied and business-oriented). It may also be
referred to as organizational studies or organizational science. The field has its roots in industrial
and organizational psychology. Since Robi is a huge private organization, we have focused on
overall OB practices of the organization. Author’s aim was to study these practices extensively
and intensely. Author worked hard to ensure this term paper is error free. However, human errors
are inevitable and it should be considered while going through this term paper.
1.2 Background of the study
Bangladesh is a country where many people have the capability to use mobile service to get their
work done quickly and easily. As our population is very large, Bangladesh can be a very good
market. At present, middle class people are growing very fast and many mobile service
companies are playing a great role to serve this large number of people. Robi is the one of the
leading providers of telecom service; they always want to serve their best. They devote their time
for recruiting, training, socializing as well as motivating their employees. They check
employees’ performance for giving feedback to the employee; that helps employee in long run.
They are also playing a very prominent role in providing mobile phone technology in
Bangladesh by helping to establish the country's mobile network infrastructure. ROBI has

established itself as a leader in the communications, transportation, power generation, power
distribution, and Information Technology sector. Therefore, in any particular day you would find
ROBI all around you, from morning until night.
1.3 Objective of the study
The sole purpose of this report is to develop a picture on organizational view of Robi, definitely
from the perspective of Organizational Behavior. We particularly focused on policies, methods,
patterns that have kept the employees of this organization motivated and congruent to their
organization. The objectives of this report are -
To have an overview on historical background of Robi

To have a view of organizational structure of Robi
To have an idea about the products, services offered by Robi and the customers of Robi.
To find out the plan of Robi
1.4 Limitations of the study
The main limitation of this report is the source of information is inadequate. Time constraint was
also a major factor. So, getting relevant information on different factors was a bit difficult. In
addition, many employees were reluctant to answer the questions since this may divulge their
identity and they might face problems. After making them assured that this report is strictly done
for academic purpose, they agreed to take part but with a stipulation that they would not give
their identity in the form. Our persuasion power and patience were tested time and time by all
these constraints.

employees and subordinates of that organization. As for the preparation of charts, we first
constructed a Frequency Distribution table for each question. From that table, we took the data

importance of this subject matter is beyond expression to optimize the output. Understanding the
models, key forces, functions, fundamental concept. characteristics, fields’ elements etc make the
managers to function the organization effectively.
There are many challenges to be faced and opportunities to be explored. All human being are
separate and considered as ‘a whole person’. Their behavior and thinking process are also

4.6 Decision making and participation
Decision making (decision from Latin decidere "to decide, determine," literally "to cut off," from
de- "off" and caedere "to cut") can be regarded as the mental processes (cognitive process)
resulting in the selection of a course of action among several alternative scenarios. Every
decision making process produces a final choice. The output can be an action or an opinion of
choice.
Decision planning
Making a decision without planning is fairly common, but does not often end well. Planning
allows for decisions to be made comfortably and in a smart way. Planning makes decision
making a lot more simple than it is. Decision will get four benefits out of planning: 1. Planning
give chance to the establishment of independent goals. It is a conscious and directed series of
choices. 2. Planning provides a standard of measurement. It is a measurement of whether you are
going towards or further away from your goal. 3. Planning converts values to action. You think
