Organizational behavior is the study of how individuals and groups act within organizations and how their behaviors impact organizational effectiveness. It draws from fields like psychology, sociology, and anthropology. The goals of organizational behavior are to explain, predict, and control human behavior in organizational settings. It helps managers with challenges like managing diversity, communication, change, and ethics as well as improving skills like empowering employees and helping them balance work and life.
