Abstract
Most model constructs in organization studies are descriptive in nature, and the conclusions relating to the model behavior over time are speculative. The comparative study of different theories suffers from the same type of vague qualitative methodology to model hypotheses in organization studies and to examine their dynamic behavior explicitly. The well-known March and Simon motivation model is used to demonstrate the step by step application of System Dynamics to models of this type. The dynamic behavior of the model, both transient and steady state, is obtained. Even though the paper has focused on one model in the area of individual behavior, the approach is general and can be applied to other areas of organizational behavior as well.
