Predict, Influence
Organizational Behavior(OB) entails the
study of actions that affect performance in the workplace.
The goal of OB theorists is to understand, explain,
predict, and influence behavior to improve performance. Thoughts
influence behavior and what happens to people and thus affect self-confidence to
perform a specific task.
The major breakthrough in the study of dreams came in 1953 when researchers Eugene Aserinsky and Nathaniel Kleitman studied and discovered what happens when a person falls asleep.They found that the body enters into a psycho-physiological state in intervals of 90 minute cycles during sleep. This physiological state consists of heightened brain activity, Rapid Eye Movement (REM), increased breathing, a temporary paralysis of the body and genital engorgement. Through experiments, they confirmed that these physiological observations were the result of the person being in the dream state.
