    Organizational behavior is an interdisciplinary field that draws from psychology, sociology, and anthropology to study human behavior in organizational contexts. It examines behavior at the individual, group, and organizational levels in order to understand, predict, and influence how people and organizations behave. While not an exact science, organizational behavior provides generalizations that managers can use as tools to anticipate the effects of their actions on employee behavior and satisfaction, with the overall goals of optimizing individual and organizational performance.

    New Features of Organisational Behaviour

    The essential characteristics of organisational behaviour are as follows:

    (i) An Integral Part of Management. OB is a part of general management


    and not the whole of management. It represents behaviour approach to
    management. It is significant to note that because of the importance of
    human behaviour in organisations, OB has assumed the status of a distinct
    field of study.
    (ii) A Field of Study. OB is a field of study backed by a body of theory,
    research and application associated with a growing concern for people at
    the workplace. Its study helps in understanding the human behaviour in
    work organizations. It includes creative thinking among the managers to
    solve human problems in organisations.
    (iii) Inter-disciplinary Approach. The field of organisational behaviour is
    heavily influenced by several other behavioural sciences and social
    sciences. The prominent among these are psychology, sociology and
    anthropology. Organisational behaviour draws a rich array of research
    from these disciplines. What makes it a field in its own right is the attempt
    to integrate various aspects and levels of behaviour.
    (iv) Levels of Analysis. OB involves three levels of analysis of behaviour
    individual behaviour, group behaviour and behaviour of the organisation
    itself. It helps in demolishing incorrect assumptions one may hold about
    behaviour. It provides a rational thinking about people.
    (v) Goal-Oriented. OB is an action oriented and goal-directed discipline.
    The major goals of organisational behaviour are to understand, explain and
    predict human behaviour in the organisational context so that it may be
    moulded into result-yielding situations. It provides a rational thinking
    about people and their behaviour.
    (vi) Human Tool. OB is a human tool for human benefit. It helps in
    understanding and predicting the behaviour of individuals. It provides
    generalisations that managers can use to anticipate the effects of certain
    actions on human behaviour.
    (vii) Science and Art. OB is both a science as well as an art. The systematic
    knowledge about human behaviour is a science. The application of
    behaviour knowledge and skills clearly leans towards being an art.
    However, organisation behaviour is not an exact science like physics or
    chemistry. It cannot provide specific answers to all organisational
    problems. The exact prediction of behavior of people in organisations is
    also not possible. It is possible to predict relationships between variables
    on a broad scale, but it is difficult to apply predictive models in all
    situations.
    (viii) Satisfaction of Employees Needs. OB seeks to fulfill employees need
    and aspirations. Every employee in the organisation wants to fulfill his
    needs through organisational activities. It is the organisations
    responsibility to provide congenial climate in the organisation so that
    people may get need satisfaction and the organisation may attain its
    objectives. Thus, both organisation and individuals can be benefited by
    each other.
