Organizational behavior or organisational behaviour (see spelling differences) is the: "study of human behavior in organizational settings, the interface between human behavior and the organization, and the organization itself".[1] Organizational behavioral research can be categorized in at least three ways:[2]
- individuals in organizations (micro-level)
- work groups (meso-level)
- how organizations behave (macro-level)
Chester Barnard recognized that individuals behave differently when acting in their organizational role than when acting separately from the organization.[3] Organizational behavior researchers study the behavior of individuals primarily in their organizational roles. One of the main goals of organizational behavior research is "to revitalize organizational theory and develop a better conceptualization of organizational life".[4]
