The outcome is the consequence of a given activity, and it is also known as the final result. Each process has a significant conclusion that affects people or organisations in a certain way. Cognitive, behaviourist, and social learning frameworks are the three primary theoretical approaches to organisational behaviour. The organisational behaviour model was built on the foundation of these ideas. Each model shows the evolution of management models over time. Models indicate three kinds of variables: inputs, processes, and outputs at three levels of study: individual, group, and organisational. The organisational model takes into account how the company decides to structure itself, how it structures positions, how it trains and recruits employees, and how it builds a corporate culture. Organizational behaviour is oriented to deciding the best answers to these three inputs in order to influence processes and, as a result, produce positive organisational outcomes. Thus, the models can show that these outcomes can influence inputs in the future. Hence, the right answer is option E.
