Organizational behaviour is the "study of human behaviour in organizational settings, it is the
interface between human behaviour and the organization, and the organization itself". It studies
the human behaviours in organizations in three levels - micro-level (about the effect of individual behaviours on the dynamics of organizations), meso-level (about the dynamics of work
groups and teams in organizations) and macro-level (about the effect of organizational and
social structure on human behaviours in organizations).
Broadly, this course will introduce students the dynamics of human behaviours in organizations. As most of the students of the programme irrespective of their career choices in the discipline of psychology (few cases out of the discipline) will work in an organization in their
future, knowledge about the dynamics of human behaviours is very important for a student to
work effectively in an organization. The aim of the course is to develop the behavioural competencies of the students to make them a ready candidate to work and sustain in fourth (4.0)
generation industries with future technologies.
