    Empowering people 4.

    7
    What's going on? What's going on is that managers are
    empowering employees. They are putting employees in charge
    of what they do, and in so doing, managers are being forced to
    learn how to give up control while employees are being forced
    to learn how to take responsibility for their work and make
    .appropriate decisions

    Stimulating innovation and change 4.8


    An organization's employees can be the impetus for innovation
    and change or they can be a major stumbling block. The
    challenge for managers is to stimulate their employees'
    creativity and tolerance for change. The field of OB provides a
    .wealth of ideas and techniques to aid in realizing these goals

    "Coping with "Temporariness 4.9


    With change comes temporariness. Globalization, expanded
    capacity, and advances in technology have combined in recent
    years to make it imperative that organizations be fast and
    .flexible if they are to survive

    Working in networked organizations 4.10


    Computerization, the Internet, and the ability to link
    computers within organizations and between organizations
    have created a different workplace for many employees-a
    networked organization. As more and more employees do their
    jobs linked to others through networks, managers need to
    develop new skills. OB can provide valuable insights to help
    .with honing those skills

    Helping employees balance work-life conflicts 4.11


    A number of forces have contributed to blurring the lines
    between employees' work life and personal life. First, the
    creation of global organizations means their world never
    sleeps. Second, communication technology allows employees to
    do their work at home, in their cars, or on the beach. Third,
    organizations are asking employees to put in longer hours.
    .Finally, fewer families have only a single breadwinner
    The field of OB offers a number of ideas to guide managers in
    designing workplaces and jobs that can help employees deal
    .with work-life conflicts

    Improving ethical behavior 4.12


    Members of organizations are increasingly finding themselves
    facing ethical dilemmas, situations in which they are required
    to define right and wrong conduct. For example, should they
    "blow the whistle" if they uncover illegal activities taking place
    in their company? Should they follow orders with which they
    ?don't personally agree
    OB concepts and ideas will help managers to create an
    ethically healthy climate for his or her employees, where they
    can do their work productively and confront a minimal degree
    of ambiguity regarding what constitutes right and wrong
    .behaviors
