An Insight On How Organizations Support Employee Efficiency

This paper is aimed at analyzing, from an empirical point of view, the relations between organizational behavior and employee efficiency along with their individual profitability within the organization. Efficiency has been and is a constant strategic goal for companies, no matter the business environment in which they operate. For this reason, the search for new ways of achieving higher levels of productivity never seems to stop. But, while it is relatively easy to achieve operational efficiency by implementing new technologies, or finding alternative, cheaper, materials to use in production, when it comes to increasing employee efficiency, organizations enter an ambiguous domain. The reason is simple: individuals cannot be treated as machines. For this reason, organizations have difficulties in finding out what are the best strategies for stimulating employee efficiency and individual profitability. The goal of this paper is to seek out relevant correlations between different variables related to organizational behavior and employee efficiency and profitability. In order to achieve this a quantitative research was performed on Romanian companies to better understand what are the particularities of organizational behavior that generate a positive impact on individual efficiency and profitability. It is paramount for organizations to create an environment that allows employees to fully use their unique capabilities and to encourage and support them in their activities. Individuals need to actively feel the managers’ guidance in performing their activities, combined with the need to have a real impact on the organization. For this reason, implication in the establishment of strategic goals is encouraged as it motivates employees in achieving them with great efficiency. Furthermore, as it can be seen in this paper, organizations need to create an environment based on encouraging employees to be persistent in their work and to develop a strong will to succeed that ensures the achievement of the strategic organizational objectives. The findings in this paper allow managers and organizations to better understand certain particularities of organizational behavior and their influence on employee efficiency and profitability, in order to create an organizational environment focused on efficiency.
