Behavioural Dynamics in Organisation

Organisational Behaviour (OB) is an exciting field of study concerned with human behaviour at work. It involves understanding, predicting and control of human behaviour and factors which influence the performance of individuals and groups in an organisation. Organisational behaviour is the study and application of knowledge about how people act and react with in the organisational context. It provides generalisation that managers can use to anticipate the effects of certain actions and thereby avoid the costly mistakes of trial and error learning. Behavioural Dynamics in an organisation is a part of the series on Human Resource Management, that has been conceived as a way of bringing together the concepts, ideas and techniques of human resource management in India from a practical and highly professional point of view. Debates and circumstances invited considerable reflection in both academia and among managers, human resource management professionals about the links between the two areas. Nevertheless the research and teaching of management of Organisation, Behavioural Dynamics in an organisation and Human Resource Management Techniques continue to draw on different perspectives and paradigms.The present volume is third in the series aimed at bringing the field closer together by illustrating and analysing some of the analytic and practical links between the two. We do not seek to submerge the distinctive and different contributions from industry and human resource management makes to our understanding of human resources in an organisation. We hope, however that the text and accompanying case studies, exercises, demonstrate the areas of interdependence. The organisations are now-a-days becoming learning organisations due to the dynamic changes in management concepts and practices. The present book contains nineteen chapters and is having distinct features of simple language, lucid style, and latest information on management concepts, principles and practices. Behavioural aspects of managing in organisations have been given vital importance throughout the book which intend to serve as a reference manual and ready-reconner for management professionals, academicians, and resource book for students of management, psychology, sociology, public administration, commerce, etc.
