Definition of Organizational Behavior

Abstract

A lot of research has been done on Organizational Behavior and there are
many definitions to which to choose. This paper will define my personal
operational definition of Organizational Behavior based on the research
performed. How this applies to my organization, why OB is important, and
what the power of the knowledge of OB is also discussed.





There are many definitions of Organizational Behavior (OB). In
order to develop a personal operating definition of OB, I read several
definitions to help form a framework of what OB means to me. The
definitions I read ranged from the very complex to the very simple. Along
with many OB definitions, there are also many different types of research.
Mole noted four assumptions that are used in all OB research (2002).

1. Behavior is predictable

2. Behavior is caused

3. Behavior has many causes

4. Generalities can be made
