Manager:
Every organization has stress. As a private company here work stress are more. Here employees work in under pressure. Some time they feel bad. It creates a personal problem.
Their behavior is rude with her families and with her relatives. We try to most recover them to free them/ refresh them.
Comments:
Organization has two types of needs.
Primary needs and secondary needs. In this organization primary needs are fulfilled. Employees are satisfied food, comfort and salary. Secondary needs are not fulfilled in the same time. In this organization provided car but they have not any accommodation facilities. Employees want this reward to be fair. If there is no equality there will no motivation.
Leadership is the process of influencing and supporting employees so that they work to achieve objective. For that reason manager create good relation with employees. Leader give importance to employees human needs first. Pharmaceutical organization especially sales department they work in field they have lot of experience. How beat the competitor they know very well. If company more participated the employees, they know more about the company. They contributed the decision making. It will be more effective. Employee’s attitude is important factor regarding response to change.
Managers discuss with employees but he takes decision. Employees participated and contribute to make decision. They take decision combine with employees, especially in sales division.
Manager helps the employees to participate the seminar. In this organization conflict are happen in sometimes. It could be departmental, Interpersonal or Intergroup. Sometimes manager are benefited for this conflict. But it is dangerous when it is long time happen. Employees work in under pressure. They feel stress from job related issue. Every month they have a target. It is increase every month, so they feel excess work load. For that reason employees suffer different problem. This company they have some limitation. Overall company performance is good.

Conclusion:
Finally, we say that this company use organizational behavior but it is not completed. They improve day by day also they have some limitation. Pharmaceutical markets are more competitive. Everyday they use new method to beat the other company. Other company employees what they do they observe it. They predict what will be the employee’s behavior in future.
Popular pharmaceutical company they use the custodial model but it is not computed. They have opportunity to work as a team. They offer different types of rule to motivate the employees to give reward such as salary increase, bonus, promotion, pension etc.
In pharmaceutical company job security is very low. Here most of the employees are work under pressure. They have a target, every month they fulfill the target. If they did not reach the target he loses her job. They offer many facilities car, salary advancement and other benefits. I think all employees are not agreeing with common bonus. Manager and employees relation are good.
