This desert in Mongolia becomes the crash site of the survivors' aircraft.
What is the Gobi Desert?
This field studies how individuals and groups behave within organizations.
What is organizational behavior?
Differences in visible characteristics such as age, gender, and race are known as this type of diversity.
What is surface-level diversity?
In Maslow's hierarchy, the survivors' need for food and water belongs to this category.
What are physiological needs?
According to Herzberg's two-factor theory, safe working conditions and company policies belong to this category of factors.
What are hygiene factors?
This pilot initially refuses Elliott's suggestion to build a new aircraft.
Who is Frank Towns?
Studying Elliott's personal confidence, decisions, and behavior represents this level of OB analysis.
What is the individual level?
Differences in values, beliefs, and attitudes represent this type of diversity.
What is deep-level diversity?
The survivors' efforts to avoid dangerous smugglers illustrate this level of Maslow's hierarchy.
What are safety needs?
The survivors' sense of achievement from constructing the Phoenix illustrates these factors in Herzberg's theory.
What are motivators?
This survivor walks away and refuses to return until Frank agrees to build the aircraft.
Who is Liddle?
Examining how disagreements between Frank and Elliott affect the survivors' cooperation represents this level of OB analysis.
What is the group (team) level?
The tendency to prefer people who seem similar to ourselves is known as this phenomenon.
What is the similarity-attraction phenomenon?
Liddle's desire to reunite with his family demonstrates this category of Maslow's hierarchy.
What are social or belongingness needs?
The survivors' belief that putting more effort into construction will increase their chances of successfully building the aircraft illustrates this component of Vroom's theory.
What is expectancy (effort-to-performance)?
Before their evacuation, most passengers worked at this type of industrial operation.
What is an oil drilling operation (oil rig)?
Studying the survivors as one detailed example of group behavior resembles this research method.
What is a case study?
The ability to recognize how cultural backgrounds influence behavior and adapt when interacting with people from different cultures is called this.
What is cultural intelligence?
Elliott's insistence on controlling the construction process demonstrates this acquired need from McClelland's theory.
What is the need for power?
The survivors' belief that successfully completing the airplane will lead to their desired outcome of escaping the desert demonstrates this component of Vroom's theory.
What is instrumentality (performance-to-outcome)?
Elliott's engineering experience turns out to involve designing these.
What are model airplanes?
If researchers find that successful teams communicate more frequently, they cannot automatically conclude that communication caused their success. This illustrates the distinction between these two research concepts.
What are correlation and causation?
If differences in willingness to question Frank's authority were rooted in cultural attitudes toward hierarchy, they could be examined using this Hofstede cultural dimension.
What is power distance?
The group's simultaneous need for survival, relationships, and personal accomplishment can be analyzed using this three-category motivation theory developed by Clayton Alderfer.
What is ERG theory (existence, relatedness, growth)?
Suppose one survivor believes they are contributing significantly more labor than everyone else while receiving the same resources. Their concern about fairness illustrates this motivation theory.
What is equity theory?
