How does organizational behaviour relate to or differ from organization development?

Dear Aleli Bueza,

I wish you had asked this question to ChatGPT. When I asked this question to ChatGPT, I got the following reply:

Organisation Behaviour and Organisation Development are two related, but distinct, fields of study within the broader domain of organisational management.

Organisation Behaviour (OB) is concerned with the study of human behaviour in organisational settings, with the aim of understanding how people interact with each other and with their work environment. OB looks at topics such as motivation, leadership, communication, group dynamics, and decision-making, with the goal of identifying ways to improve individual and team performance within an organisation.

On the other hand, Organisation Development (OD) focuses on the process of planned change within an organisation, with the goal of improving its overall effectiveness and efficiency. OD encompasses a range of activities such as diagnosis, intervention, and evaluation, and often involves the use of techniques such as training, coaching, and team building to bring about desired changes in an organisation's culture, structure, and processes.

In summary, OB is concerned with understanding and improving individual and group behaviour within an organisation, while OD is focused on the systematic and planned process of improving the organisation as a whole.

OD is a part of OB, OD is a function and OB is a field of study.

Organisation development is a part of company policy, and defines process and procedures those are focused towards growth path of an organisation and it needs a strategic approach for defining all the activities towards achieving organisation goal.
Organisational Behaviour is the discipline that is expected from employee and all concerned people in the organisation as a core business development process.
