Chapter: 3 Individual Organizational Behavior

The NY Army National Guard. I. This organization’s history goes back around 300

years, to the time of the .Minutemen.. The brave men and women that fought to

gain our independence here in the state of NY. The NY Army National guard is

under the control of the Governor of NY. But in Wartime this organization

becomes Federalize and under the Command of our Commander in Chief. The

President of the United States. I am the Commander for A-Company Detachment 2 of

the 204th Engineer Bn, located in Riverhead, NY here in Long Island. *[Let's

take a closer look at the Org. Chart]* My Unit has 72 Men and Women who are

civilians during the month but dedicate one weekend a month and two weeks in the

year to serve our State and Country. We have two types of missions for which we

train all year long. – The State Mission : These are emergency calls in time of

disasters, due to nature or mischief. (ex: Floods snowstorms, Riots, Plane

crashes, Drug enforcement, Border patrols, etc.) – The Federal Mission : These

takes effect in time when the President or Congress declares War, Police Ac-tion

or Rescue and or Protection to a foreign country. We also train by going

overseas and helping countries. Now lets talk about the individual Behaviors of

my organization shall we. [Flip to Outline].*

II.Key Biographical Characteristics a.Age in my unit is very

diversified. I have new soldiers entering the unit at age 18, and current

members range from their 20’s to their 40’s. The Standard to Join the US. Army

is 18-28 yrs. – Rank and degree of responsibility are factors of productivity .

- Degree of Absenteeism is found in both. – Turnover is mainly found in younger

soldiers, they move from state to state often. – Job satisfaction also go hand

in hand with rank and responsibility. The Older and higher the rank the more.

b.Of course we don’t discriminate – I found that females are often more

absent. – Also that a degree of J/S shifted more towards the males. – And

females tend to turnover easier than males. c.Our troops often have to face

the increasing risk of being deployed overseas, and that of course always shows

in the soldier’s work behavior. This is mostly from worried Wives and Husbands

thinking that their spouses won’t come back. *(That includes mine of course).* -

Single soldiers tend to miss UTA’s more than married ones. – J/S is found more

with higher rank soldiers instead of looking at marital status.

d.We provide school, day-care and counseling programs to dependents. This

helps the soldiers cope with the stressful job of parenting.

This helps the organization deal with absenteeism, J/S and turnover. e.

Tenure to the US Army means Experience and Skills, that can be shared to

younger soldiers. – Mission Readiness is increased when subordinates respect and

obey their older peers. III.Personality A.Determinants Heredity: For our

mission usually don’t determine a soldier for his looks or muscle definition.

That is up to the soldier to ex-ploit when it comes to personal development.

*APFT* Environment: Some of our soldiers when they grow up in places like NYC

behave and perform different from those soldiers that spend their upbringing in

smaller towns. We found this to be a factor in Mission readiness, Absenteeism,

turnover and J/S. Situation : We are all bound to a code of honor, duty and

conduct. So we act differently according to the situation. The differ-ence is

found more with younger soldiers, they sometimes don’t know how to act and need

to be directed or supervised. B.The Meyers-Briggs Personality Type

Indicators. [MBTI] Extroverted-Introverted (E-I) Sensing-I
