Dear ICFAIian,
Here is the matter you asked for.
The field of OB attempts to understand human behavior in organizational settings, the organization itself, and the individual organization interface. All these areas are highly interrelated. Thus, although it is possible to focus on only one of these areas at a time, a complete understanding of OB requires knowledge of all three areas. Thus, the field of OB is exciting and complex.
Environment --> Human behavior in organizational settings <-- individual organization interface.
OB has three levels of performance analyses, namely, The Individual, The Group, and the Formal Organization.
OB is a contingency-oriented approach that is directed towards developing managerial actions that are most appropriate for a specific situation and the people involved.
OB is a source of knowledge and a repository of information for theorists, researchers, and practitioners.
OB is both a science and an art as it contains the skill and knowledge of applying it.
Regards,
Dr. Prageetha
