The field of organisational behaviour (OB) draws primarily from the behavioural science disciplines of psychology, social psychology, and cultural anthropology. The areas that OB focuses on are individuals, who will often be working within groups, which themselves work within organisations, as well as all the inter-relationships between them. Some of the specific themes embraced by OB are personality theory, attitudes and values, motivation and learning, interpersonal behaviour, group dynamics, leadership and teamwork, organizational structure and design, decision-making, power, conflict, and negotiation. We will also examine the view that behaviour within the organisation has to be considered in the wider context of the outside world&�s effect on the organisation and its people.
