ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOUR

Organisational behavior is an emerging filed of study, with sound prospects. Though the study of behaviour has interested psychologists for a number of years, its role in specific organizational situations has caught their attention only of late. The observation that work behavior is instrumental in determining organizational performance has forced organizations to focus greater attention on their employees’ behavior. The trend is noticed to be greater than ever before. The traditional view of considering the employee as just a spoke in the Organizational wheel has almost virtually disappeared. Organizations are constantly infusing the much needed humanistic approaches to keep their employees spirits high. Organizational behavior is significantly affected by several changes. Of prime importance, is the change in organizational structures. Bureaucratic models have given way to modern ones like the project and matrix designs.
