Organisational Behaviour

Organisational Behaviour is a field that draws wisdom from various disciplines to provide a comprehensive toolkit for analyzing workplace interactions and processes. Let’s explore its key components and applications in a workshop format.

Foundational Disciplines

Organizational behavior integrates insights from:

  • Psychology: Individual behavior and mental processes

  • Sociology: Group dynamics and social structures

  • Anthropology: Cultural influences on behaviour

 By integrating these perspectives, organistional behaviour provides a comprehensive toolkit for analysing workplace interactions and processes.

Aswathappa & Reddy (2009), maintain (as we do in Total Focus) that organisational behaviour has three main features and the interpaly between these elements. 

Individual Behaviour 

.. includes motivation, personality, values, attitude & perception, and learning

Group Behaviours 

… includes leadership, communication, work dynamics and individual morale. 

Organisational Behaviours 

… includes climate, culture, change, organisational development, and effectiveness portrayed through organisational processes and procedures.
