Organizational Behavior

Organizational Behavior (OB) is the methodical study of the activities and mentalities that individuals display inside Organizations. It is individual behavior and gathering elements in Organizations. The study of Organizational behavior is primarily concerned with the psycho-social, interpersonal and behavioral dynamics in associations. In any case, Organizational factors that influence human conduct at work are also relevant to the study of Organizational behavior. These Organizational factors incorporate occupation content, work plan, and Organizational structure. Therefore, although individual behavior and group dynamics are the primary concerns in the study of Organizational Behavior, Organizational variables are important as the context in which human behavior occurs. 

The term 'Organizational Behavior; is defined by Stephen P Robbins as "a field of study that investigates the impact of individuals, groups, and structures on behavior within organizations for the purpose of applying such knowledge towards improving an Organizations's effectiveness. According to this definition, Organizational behavior:

• It is a field of study with a typical assemblage of information. 
• It studies three determinants of behavior in Organizations - those of individuals, groups, and structures.  
• It applies the information gained about people, groups, and the impact of structure on conduct so as to make Organizations work all the more successfully.
