Organizational Behaviour
Case (20 Marks)
Mrs Jessy was recently promoted to head
the accounting department in Souza manufacturing Company. She had worked in the
same department for 12 years and when Mr, Sewbert the previous manager retired,
she was asked to all the position. It has now been about 3 months since Mrs.
Jessy has been promoted, and there has been several misunderstandings between
her and the Vice-President, Accounting and Finance-Mr. Arun. The
misunderstanding pertained to the way Mrs. Jessy “ran" the accounting
department. The Vice-President wanted Mrs. Jessy to handle all the day-to-day
issues and felt that she was not assertive enough in assuming her new responsibilities.
There were instances where Mrs. Jessy failed to get things done on time: was
not following up on other people's duties; and always waiting to be told what
to do instead of initiating action. You have been invited as a consultant and
asked to look into the problem and give your suggestions. Being an expert in
the field of OB, you met Mrs. Jessy to and out what she feels about Mr. Arun,
the Vice-President and her new position as Manager Accounts. She says that the
vice-president does not appreciate her abilities and that what is lacking in
her present job is the direction of her superior, Mr. Arun. She on her part is
willing to do whatever needs to be done. Mrs Jessy wants to do a good job but
not becoming an autocrat that Mr. Arun wants her to be. Mrs. Jessy says she
likes her new job but does not know if her career is moving in the right
direction. This comes from a person who has been promoted just 3 months back.
As an OB consultant, you have decided that it would be helpful to assess Mrs.
Jessy's and Mr. Arum’s personality type by administering the Myers-Briggs Type
Indicator. Mrs. Jessy’s score indicate that she is more Sensing/Thinking type
and Mr. Arun is an intuiting/Thinking type.
