Organizational behaviour is the study and application of knowledge about how individuals and groups act within organizations. It helps understand and predict organizational life by helping managers understand themselves and others to get work done better. Organizational behaviour is goal-oriented, seeks to balance human and technical values at work, and takes an interdisciplinary approach by integrating behavioral science. It has a broad scope that includes intrapersonal behavior, interpersonal behavior, and behavior about the organization. Key elements that influence organizational behavior are people, structure, technology, and the organization's environment. Contributing disciplines to the field include psychology, sociology, social psychology, anthropology, and political science.
