Control Mechanism in Organizational Behavior

Output Control focuses on measurable results within an organization (Reed, 2020). An example of output control that is currently being done at my job is budgeting. Budget is measurable and the outcome of budgeting is also measurable. Budgeting helps each department to understand how much money they can spend on certain projects and how much spending for those projects should be allocated.

Behavioral Control is focused on controlling the action which leads to results (Reed, 2020). An example of behavioral control that is currently being done at my job is work assignments. Work assignments are given so that each employee knows what is expected from them.

Clan Control is the value and belief of an organization (Reed, 2020). An example of a company that used Clan control is goggle. There employees are allowed to spend 20 percent of their work week on their own innovative projects.They also offer an ''ideas mailing list'' for employees to submit new ideas and to comment on others' ideas.
