HIERARCHICAL PCA FOR FORMAL GROUP BEHAVIOUR MODELLING

Organizational behaviour involves systematic studies regarding the individual behaviour inside groups, including the nature of groups, development of group structures and between groups and implementation of the change process. The paper presents a practical approach about how the gender of students influences the organizational group behaviour with the main objectives to evaluate the organizational behaviour on two groups (M/F) and to create a qualitative and quantitative pattern for organizational behaviour inside formal groups. The authors used the questionnaire of Hellriegel, Slocum and Woodman as an instrument that includes three types of behaviour – behaviour focused on tasks/objectives, behaviour focused on relationships, and behaviour focused on own interests. We used statistical methods - the T test – to see the differences between M/F and statistical factorial modelling – PCA method to identify the predominant items to define a new model for organizational behaviour. The necessity of the research comes from the dynamic of behaviour inside a group which involves (individual) internal and external (relations and tasks) essential factors.
