Different Articles

The Definite Article

The definite article is the word the. It limits the meaning of a noun to one particular thing. For example, your friend might ask, “Are you going to the party this weekend?” The definite article tells you that your friend is referring to a specific party that both of you know about. The definite article can be used with singular, plural, or uncountable nouns. Below are some examples of the definite article the used in context:

Please give me the hammer.

Please give me the red hammer; the blue one is too small.

Please give me the nail.

Please give me the large nail; it’s the only one strong enough to hold this painting.

Please give me the hammer and the nail.

The Indefinite Article

The indefinite article takes two forms. It’s the word a when it precedes a word that begins with a consonant. It’s the word an when it precedes a word that begins with a vowel. The indefinite article indicates that a noun refers to a general idea rather than a particular thing. For example, you might ask your friend, “Should I bring a gift to the party?” Your friend will understand that you are not asking about a specific type of gift or a specific item. “I am going to bring an apple pie,” your friend tells you. Again, the indefinite article indicates that she is not talking about a specific apple pie. Your friend probably doesn’t even have any pie yet. The indefinite article only appears with singular nouns. Consider the following examples of indefinite articles used in context:

Please hand me a book; any book will do.

Please hand me an autobiography; any autobiography will do.

Exceptions: Choosing A or An

There are a few exceptions to the general rule of using a before words that start with consonants and an before words that begin with vowels. The first letter of the word honor, for example, is a consonant, but it’s unpronounced. In spite of its spelling, the word honor begins with a vowel sound. Therefore, we use an. Consider the example sentence below for an illustration of this concept.

My mother is a honest woman.

My mother is an honest woman.

Similarly, when the first letter of a word is a vowel but is pronounced with a consonant sound, use a, as in the sample sentence below:

She is an United States senator.

She is a United States senator.

This holds true with acronyms and initialisms, too: an LCD display, a UK-based company, an HR department, a URL.

Article Before an Adjective

Sometimes an article modifies a noun that is also modified by an adjective. The usual word order is article + adjective + noun. If the article is indefinite, choose a or anbased on the word that immediately follows it. Consider the following examples for reference:

Eliza will bring a small gift to Sophie’s party.

I heard an interesting story yesterday.

Indefinite Articles with Uncountable Nouns

Uncountable nouns are nouns that are either difficult or impossible to count. Uncountable nouns include intangible things (e.g., information, air), liquids (e.g., milk, wine), and things that are too large or numerous to count (e.g., equipment, sand, wood). Because these things can’t be counted, you should never use a or anwith them—remember, the indefinite article is only for singular nouns. Uncountable nouns can be modified by words like some, however. Consider the examples below for reference:

Please give me a water.

Water is an uncountable noun and should not be used with the indefinite article.

Please give me some water.

However, if you describe the water in terms of countable units (like bottles), you can use the indefinite article.

Please give me a bottle of water.

Please give me an ice.

Please give me an ice cube.

Please give me some ice .

Note that depending on the context, some nouns can be countable or uncountable (e.g., hair, noise, time):

We need a light in this room.

We need some light in this room.

Using Articles with Pronouns

Possessive pronouns can help identify whether you’re talking about specific or nonspecific items. As we’ve seen, articles also indicate specificity. But if you use both a possessive pronoun and an article at the same time, readers will become confused. Possessive pronouns are words like his, my, our, its, her, and their. Articles should not be used with pronouns. Consider the examples below.

Why are you reading the my book?

The and my should not be used together since they are both meant to modify the same noun. Instead, you should use one or the other, depending on the intended meaning:

Why are you reading the book?

Why are you reading my book?

Omission of Articles

Occasionally, articles are omitted altogether before certain nouns. In these cases, the article is implied but not actually present. This implied article is sometimes called a “zero article.” Often, the article is omitted before nouns that refer to abstract ideas. Look at the following examples:

Let’s go out for a dinner tonight.

Let’s go out for dinner tonight.

The creativity is a valuable quality in children.

Creativity is a valuable quality in children.

Many languages and nationalities are not preceded by an article. Consider the example below:

I studied the French in high school for four years.

I studied French in high school for four years.

Sports and academic subjects do not require articles. See the sentences below for reference:

I like to play the baseball.

I like to play baseball .

My sister was always good at the math .

My sister was always good at math .

Article grammer

Indefinite articles - A and An

A and an are indefinite articles. They are used when talk about something that is not specifically known to the person you are talking to with. A and an are used before nouns that introduce something or someone you have not mentioned before.

• Paul : Hi Peter, I saw an accident this morning outside my house.
• You are speaking about the “accident” for the first time to Peter. He did not know about it before.
•  

A and an are also used when talking about your profession.

• I am an English teacher.
•  
• I am a builder.
•  

You use A when the noun you are referring to begins with a consonant: a house, a building, a car.

You use An when the noun you are referring to begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u).

Pronunciation changes this rule. It’s the sound that matters, not the spelling.

If the next word begins with a consonant sound when we say it, for example, "university" then we use a. If the next word begins with a vowel sound when we say it, for example "hour" then we use an.

We say "university" with a "y" sound at the beginning as though it were spelt " you niversity". - So, "a university" IS correct.

We say "hour" with a silent h as though it were spelt "our". - So, "an hour" IS correct.

2. Definate article - the

You use The when you know that the listener knows or can understand what particular person/thing you are talking about.

You should also use The when you have already mentioned the thing you are talking about.

• Paul : Hi Peter, I saw an accident this morning outside my house.
• (you are speaking about the “accident” for the first time to Peter. He did not know about it before)
• Peter: Hi Paul, do you know how the accident happened?
• (Peter now knows about the accident)

We use The to talk about geographical points on the globe.

• the North Pole
•  
• the equator
•  

We use The to talk about rivers oceans and seas.

• the Nile
•  
• the Pacific
•  
• the English channel
•  

We also use The before certain nouns when we know there is only one of a particular thing.

• the Rain
•  
• the sun
•  
• the wind
•  
• the world
•  
• the earth
•  
• the White House
•  

However if you want to describe a particular instance of these you should use a/an.

• I could hear the wind.
•  
• There’s a cold wind blowing.
•  

Theis also used to say that a particular person or thing being mentioned is the best, most famous, etc. In this use, ’the’ is usually given strong pronunciation:

• Harry’s Bar is the place to go.
•  

Note - Thedoesn’t mean all.

• The books are expensive.
• Not all books are expensive, just the ones I’m talking about.
• Books are expensive.
• All books are expensive.

3. When not to use an article

We usually use no article to talk about things in general.

.

• People are worried about rising crime.
• People generally, so no article.

You do not use an article when talking about sports.

.

• My son plays football.
•  
• Tennis is expensive.
•  

You do not use an article before uncountable nouns when talking about them generally.

.

• Information is important to any organization.
•  
• Coffee is bad for you.
•  

You do not use an article before the names of countries except where they indicate multiple areas or contain the words (state(s), kingdom, republic, union). Kingdom, state, republic and union are nouns, so they need an article.

.

• Without an article
• Italy, Mexico, Bolivia, England
•  
• The
• the UK (United Kingdom), the USA (United States of America), the Irish Republic
•  
• Multiple areas
• the Netherlands, the Philippines , the British Isles

What is Organizational Behavior?

Organizational behavior is the study of both group and individual performance and activity within an organization. Internal and external perspectives are two theories of how organizational behavior can be viewed by companies.

Organizational Behavior

Why do people behave a certain way in an organizational environment? What factors affect job performance, employee interaction, job commitment, leadership and managerial styles? Individuals have studied this very topic for decades in order to find ways of increasing organizational performance. Organizational behavior is the study of both group and individual performance and activity within an organization.

This area of study examines human behavior in a work environment and determines its impact on job structure, performance, communication, motivation, leadership, etc. Internal and external perspectives are two theories of how organizational behavior can be viewed by companies. Let's take a look at how the perspectives are different through examining Ninja Corporation.

Internal Perspective

The Ninja Corporation has two human resource managers at their headquarters. Julia and Nick have different opinions regarding how to use organizational behavioral factors to improve work conditions. Julia embraces the internal perspective and believes that employees' behavior is in large part based on their own personal feelings, interactions, thoughts and experiences.

Theory

This theory revolves around the idea that, in order to understand individuals in an organizational environment, an individual must understand the person's thoughts, feelings and personal values. Recently, a manager mentioned to Julia that she was having difficulty with motivating one of her subordinates in the sales division. Julia met with the manager and employee to see what advice she could offer in this situation.

Julia spoke with the subordinate, who revealed that he wanted to achieve his sales goals and felt that his co-workers were getting the best territories and extra feedback. Once Julia was able to uncover the subordinate's internal employment issues, she then could explain what motivational techniques would improve his performance to the manager. Her human resource coworker, Nick, had the opposite view of organizational behavior.

External Perspective

Nick was also a human resource manager at Ninja Corporation. He took an external perspective of organizational behavior. He believed that external events and environmental factors affected an individual's job performance and behavior. A recent example of this theory would be when Nick told numerous managers to increase their subordinate's salaries by $5,000 in order to further motivate the sales team. Organizational behavior's history is really a combination of numerous fields of study.

Behavioral Sciences that Impact and Influence Organizational Behavior

The major behavioral science disciplines that have contributed to the development of organizational behavior are psychology, sociology, anthropology, management and medicine. In this lesson, you'll learn about how these behavioral sciences have influenced the development of organizational behavior.

Organizational Behavior Influences

Organizational behavior (OB) is a relatively new field of study that developed during the birth of the Industrial Revolution. This was a time in United States history where factories and automation created a totally new society based on worker output of goods and services. This period of history became the force behind the need to further study worker productivity, performance and motivation. The major behavioral science disciplines that contributed to the development of organizational behavior are psychology, sociology, anthropology, management and medicine. Let's look at the impact these disciplines had on the birth of organizational behavior.

Psychology

Hugo Munsterberg was a Harvard psychologist who was interested in the study of applied psychology and how it could be used to examine organizational psychology. It is a subset of psychology, and is called organizational psychology, which was fixated on the motivation and behavior of workers. Motivational theories of organizational behavior were intrinsic to helping companies increase worker productivity, job commitment and achievement. Psychology was a huge part of what became organizational behavior, as it explained the internal and external influences on individuals' work performance and behavior. The second field had an impact on groups within an organization.

Sociology

Sociology was the second discipline that helped form the basis for organizational behavior. The term means the study of society, and this helps researchers understand group dynamics and how they impact organizations. For example, in 1957 Harvard researchers defined the term role set as how individuals perform different roles in a group environment. Role sets led researchers to further study roles of workers in organizations to see how productivity and motivation could be improved by different techniques using teamwork. Sociology has had a huge impact in group ethics and group interaction. Another surprising discipline has led to the development of organizational behavior.

The Human Relations Movement: Definition and Significance to Organizational Behavior

The human relations movement in organizational behavior focuses on the person as an individual and not as just another part of the mechanics of production. The implementation of this theory decreases turnover, absenteeism and poor job commitment.

Human Relations Movement

Have you ever felt as if you were insignificant to your company? Did your work seem more concerned about profits and sales than your own job motivation, interests and attitudes? For many years, companies ignored an employee's own personal development. This, in turn, led to negative attitudes, high turnover, high absenteeism and poor job commitment.

When companies focus only on the production and profits of their business, they ignore the human behavioral issues of people. The human relations movement in organizational behavior focuses instead on the person as an individual and analyzes what motivates and cultivates their achievement in a work setting. Employee attitudes towards work became important to a successful company. Let's take a jaunt back in time to see how the movement became a significant part of organizational behavior (OB).

Early Framework

In the early 1900s, the framework for the human relations movement was being built. Companies realized that a monetary incentive was not the only factor to increasing production. Elton Mayo, an organizational psychologist, was the father of the human relations movement. He was the first to realize that worker output and satisfaction were linked to social factors, such as the way employees were treated on the job.

The 1927 Hawthorne experiment further proved the relationship between the understanding of worker psychology and output. In this experiment, psychologists developed a theory that additional lighting would have a positive effect on worker factory output. They increased the lighting and they were correct, as production soared. In addition, the scientists lowered the lighting to a dismal amount assuming that production would fall.

Surprisingly, production increased even more, and this led to the discovery that the factory workers were overperforming because they knew they were being watched as part of the study. This result became known as the Hawthorne effect. The attention from the study made them feel important and resulted in better output. This solidified the acceptance of the human relations movement.
