Operational Definition of Organisational Behaviour
... The first real attempt was made to study human behaviour in the work environment. ... This gave birth to the discipline known as organisational behaviour. ... OB has as its underlying foundation the study of the behaviour of people or “people factor” in the work place. ... The above description of OB may have qualified the discipline to an extent; however, a proper definition still has to be crafted from the above. ... OB therefore can be defined as a “body of knowledge that deals with the effect of the behavioural patterns of individuals in the work environment and how this behaviour impacts on group’s goal and effectiveness”.
