Organizational Behavior (OB) is the study of how individuals and groups behave within an organizational setting. It examines the impact of organizational structures, cultures, and processes on human behavior at work. OB explores various factors influencing behavior, such as leadership styles, communication patterns, decision-making processes, and team dynamics.

By understanding OB, organizations can enhance productivity, employee satisfaction, and overall effectiveness. Key areas of focus include motivation, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and employee well-being.

OB draws from psychology, sociology, anthropology, and management theories to provide insights into why people behave as they do in organizations and how these behaviors can be managed and improved for the benefit of both individuals and the organization as a whole.
