Organisational Behaviour
Organisational Behaviour offers a robust framework for understanding the complexities of human interactions and operational dynamics within work environments. This interdisciplinary field synthesizes knowledge from several foundational disciplines to provide comprehensive analytical tools.
Foundational Disciplines
Organisational Behaviour draws upon insights from:
- Psychology: To understand individual behaviour, motivations, and cognitive processes within the organisational context.
- Sociology: To analyse group dynamics, social structures, and patterns of interaction that emerge in organisations.
- Anthropology: To appreciate the influence of cultural norms, values, and beliefs on organisational behaviour.
Through the integration of these diverse perspectives, Organisational Behaviour furnishes a comprehensive toolkit for the rigorous analysis of workplace interactions and organisational processes.
Consistent with the views of Aswathappa & Reddy (2009), and our approach at Total Focus, Organisational Behaviour is characterised by key fundamental elements and their intricate interplay. These core aspects will be explored in detail.
