Competency-based programmes assess what you can do with an idea rather than whether you can recite it, and the organizational behaviour and change course is where that bites hardest. WGU OBCI: Strategy, Change, and Organizational Behavioral Concepts pulls together three bodies of material usually taught separately: how people behave inside organizations, how strategy is chosen, and how change is led through people who would prefer it did not happen. This practice set works the same three areas together, in the applied form the course uses.
Why this test bank helps
Applied assessment rewards students who can pick the right model for a described situation, and that is a recognition skill rather than a memory one. Every item here carries a written explanation that names the model and says why the neighbouring model does not fit: why a problem is one of resistance rather than of motivation, why a leadership failure is situational rather than dispositional, why a strategy has been described but never executed. Building that discrimination is the fastest route through material this broad.
What’s inside
- Practice grouped by competency area, so organizational behaviour, strategy and change management can each be worked separately.
- Multiple choice and scenario items written in the applied style these programmes favour.
- A written rationale on every question, distinguishing the keyed model from the ones that resemble it.
- Balanced weighting across the three domains rather than a single pass through one of them.
- One organized PDF, downloadable immediately once checkout completes.
Topics covered
- Individual behaviour — personality frameworks, perception, attribution and attitudes at work.
- Motivation — needs, expectancy, equity and goal-setting theories, and how each translates into job design and rewards.
- Groups and teams — team development stages, roles, norms, cohesion and the losses that come with group process.
- Organizational culture — artefacts, values and assumptions, socialization, and culture as a constraint on strategy.
- Power, politics and conflict — sources of power, influence tactics, negotiation and conflict-handling styles.
- Leadership — trait and behavioural models, situational approaches, and transformational and authentic leadership.
- Strategy — mission and vision, environmental analysis, competitive positioning and the balanced scorecard.
- Change management — Lewin’s three-step model, Kotter’s stages, sources of resistance and the tactics used to reduce it.
Who it’s for
Students in competency-based business programmes covering organizational behaviour, strategy and change together, working adults returning to study who need applied rather than theoretical practice, and anyone consolidating the three areas before an assessment.
How to use it (the right way)
Work by scenario rather than by chapter: read a situation, decide which of the three domains it belongs to, and only then choose a model. Take a closed-book block, mark every item where you picked the right domain but the wrong model, and read those explanations, because that is the most common error in applied assessment. This is a study aid, used in line with your institution’s academic-integrity policy for preparation and self-testing, never as material taken into an assessment.
Sample question (shows the format — your download contains the full set)
Q. A manager announces a restructuring on Monday and expects it to feel routine by Friday. Using Lewin’s model of change, what has the manager left out?
- A. Refreezing, which stabilizes the new arrangement
- B. Unfreezing, which creates dissatisfaction with the current state before anything is moved
- C. Moving, which introduces the new structure
- D. Benchmarking against a comparable organization
Answer: B. Lewin’s sequence begins by loosening commitment to the present way of working, and an announcement made without that preparation meets exactly the resistance the model predicts. A is the closing step, which cannot be reached because nothing has been successfully moved yet. C is what the announcement itself attempted, so it was not omitted, merely attempted out of order. D is a performance comparison technique rather than a stage in Lewin’s model at all.

Frequently asked questions
Is this material current? It is not tied to a printed edition, and course outlines are revised periodically. Check the topic list against your own course of study and treat it as practice rather than as a specification of what you will be assessed on.
How do I receive it? You download it yourself as soon as the order completes, and the link stays in your account, so a lost copy is never a problem.
Do all the questions include rationales? Yes. Every item is followed by a written explanation, which is the part that turns checking an answer into learning something.
Is using practice questions allowed? Yes, as preparation and self-assessment, which is what practice material is for. Follow your institution’s academic-integrity policy and the rules governing your programme’s assessments.
