About Organizational Behaviour
Organizational behaviour examines how individuals and groups act within workplaces and how organisational structures influence that behaviour. It covers personality, perception, motivation, learning, leadership, communication, teamwork, conflict, power, organisational culture and change. It differs from human resource management, which focuses more directly on managing employment processes and policies.
