1. What is OB?
Organizational Behavior (OB) studies how people act at work — their attitudes, motivations, and interactions — and how teams and company systems influence that behavior. It’s about understanding the “people side” so workplaces run better and people do better work.
2. Why study OB systematically?
A systematic approach means using research and data instead of gut feeling. That helps you make smarter decisions, predict how people will react to new policies or change, and pick solutions that actually work instead of guessing.
3. Which behavioral sciences feed into OB?
Psychology: explains individual traits, motivation, learning.
Sociology: looks at groups, roles, and organizational structure.
Social psychology: studies influence, persuasion, teamwork.
Anthropology: helps with culture, values, and cross-cultural issues.
Political science: covers power, negotiation, and organizational politics.
4. Three levels of analysis — what each focuses on:
Individual level: personal skills, personality, job attitudes, and motivation.
Group level: how teams form, communicate, lead, and resolve conflict.
Organizational level: company-wide structure, culture, policies, and strategy.
Zooming from individual → group → organization shows different causes and fixes: a motivation problem may need a one-on-one solution, a team problem needs leadership or process changes, and systemic issues call for structural or cultural change.
5. Employability skills you gain from OB:
You’ll develop practical skills employers want: critical thinking and problem solving, teamwork and collaboration, clear communication, basic leadership, handling conflict, adapting to change, and making ethical decisions. These are easy to demonstrate in interviews with examples like “I improved team output by…” or “I handled a conflict by…”.
