3. Organizational behavior is a field of study that
investigates the impact that individuals, groups and
structures have on behavior within an organization. It is
an interdisciplinary field that includes sociology,
psychology, communication, and management; and it
complements the academic studies of Organizational
theory (which is more macro-level) and human resource
studies (which is more applied and business-related). It
may also be referred to as organizational studies or
organizational science. The field has its roots in
industrial and organizational psychology.

4. “Organizational behaviour is a field of study that investigates
the impact that individuals, groups and organizational structure
have on behaviour within the organization, for the purpose of
applying such knowledge towards improving an organizational
effectiveness.”
The above definition has three main elements; first organizational
behaviour Is an investigative study of individuals and groups,
second, the impact of organizational structure on human behaviour
and the third, the application of knowledge to achieve
organizational effectiveness. These factors are interactive in
nature and the impact of such behaviour is applied to various
systems so that the goals are achieved. The nature of study of
organizational behaviour is investigative to establish cause and
effect relationship.

7. 1. A separate field of study - > Organizational Behaviour is a separate
field of study. Many researches and analysis have been done in this
field. But it is not still accepted as a science. There is no foundation
of basic concepts that may guide its development as a science.
Therefore, it will be appropriate to call it a field of study rather than
discipline.
2. It is an applied science - > The aim of OB it to solve problems of
organizations related with human behaviour aspect. Therefore,
applied researches are concentrated, in place of fundamental
researches. Though many of the researches may be carried in
laboratory, but the behaviour of an individual can not be analyzed
so. Therefore, Organizational Behaviour is both science as well as art.
3. Goal Oriented - > Since OB is applied science it is oriented towards
organizational goals. Sometimes there may be conflict of
organizational goals with invidual goals. In that case, both the
objectives are achieved simultaneously.
Mehul Rasadiya
8. 4. Focus Attention On people - > OB focus the attention on people.
It is based on the concept that need and motivation of the
people should be given priority. if the people are given proper
environment and working condition, they are creative,
independent and capable of achieving organizational
objectives.
5. Interdisciplinary Approach - > Organizational Behaviour is
interdisciplinary in nature. It is based on behavioural and social
sciences that contributes to the subject. It applies from this
disciplines ideas that will improve the relationships between
people and organization.
Mehul Rasadiya

culture, to work effectively with them you’ve to understand how their culture, geographic and
religion have shaped them.
o Coping with Anti-capitalism backlash
“soak the rich” means fine should be charged with respect of income you earn. Managers at
global companies have come to realize that economic values are not universally transferable,
need to modify by managers to reflect economic values in those countries they’re working.
o Overseeing Movement of jobs to countries with low cost labor
In a global economy, jobs tend to flow to places where lower cost provide business firms with a
comparative advantages
o Managing people During the war on terror
An understanding of OB topics such as emotions, motivation, communication
and leadership can help managers to deal more effectively with their employees’ fear about
terrorism

23. Conclusion
• Organizational behavior promotes communication – and
communication promotes knowledge. In return, the organizational
knowledge established the organizational behavior as part of the
everyday company routine. The ideas or knowledge that every
individual contribute is valued by the firm. All the ideas are
examined well and after the successful adaptation, another legacy is
left behind that can be used for the next year or product simulation.
•Organizational practice on the other hand, is a form of routine or
standardized action which is always subject for improvement. All the
practice involved in making the product is based from the knowledge
they learned and organized. With this, the cycle of acquiring the
knowledge and applying it is emphasized and cannot be broken as
part of the organization’s effectiveness.
