What is Organizational Behavior?

Definitions

Organizational behavior focuses on how humans behave in organizations, including how they interact
with each other, as well as how they work within the organizations' structures to get their work done.
Here are some other definitions:

Organizational behavior is the "the study of human behavior in organizational settings, the interface
between human behavior and the organization, and the organization itself."

“Organizational behavior is directly concerned with the understanding, prediction, and control of human
behavior in organizations.” — Fred Luthans

Goals

This description specifies the goals of organizational behavior:

"The goals of OB [organizational behavior] are to explain, predict, and influence behavior. Managers
need to be able to explain why employees engage in some behaviors rather than others, predict how
employees will respond to various actions and decisions, and influence how employees behave." -- Open
Class

However, organizational behavior holds benefits for employees, as well. The field is rich with research,
findings, guidelines and tools for employees to clarify their own goals, understand what motivates them
and increase their job satisfaction.

Organizational Behavior (OB) can be defined as the understanding, prediction and

management of human behavior both individually or in a group that occur within an
organization.
Internal and external perspectives are the two theories of how organizational behavior
can be viewed from an organization’s point of view. In this tutorial, we will be learning
in detail about both the theories.

Importance of OB
While working in an organization, it is very important to understand others behavior as
well as make others understand ours. In order to maintain a healthy working
environment, we need to adapt to the environment and understand the goals we need
to achieve. This can be done easily if we understand the importance of OB.
Following points bring out the importance of OB −
  It helps in explaining the interpersonal relationships employees share with each other as
well as with their higher and lower subordinates.
 The prediction of individual behavior can be explained.
 It balances the cordial relationship in an enterprise by maintaining effective communication.
 It assists in marketing.
 It helps managers to encourage their sub-ordinates.
 Any change within the organization can be made easier.
