ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR
“Organizational Behavior is a field of study that investigates the impact that individuals, groups and structure have on behaviour within organizations, for the purpose of applying such knowledge toward improving an organization’s effectiveness.” (Robbins, Judge, Sanghi 2009, 13th edition, Prentice Hall) .
From the above statement we can say that, organization behavior shows how people behave in an organization and how their behavior affects the working of the organization.
To understand organizational behavior we first need to know what an organization is.
According to Robbins (2006), an organization is a consciously coordinated social unit, composed of two or more people that functions on a relatively continuous basis to achieve a common goal or a set of goals.
Now we can clearly state that organization behavior is a distinct area of expertise which studies - individuals, groups and structure.
