"The study of human behavior in organizational settings as well as the interface between human behavior and the organization is referred to as organizational behavior. The research in this field is categorized into three levels. These are micro-level, meso-level and macro-level that respectively refer to the individuals in organizations, work groups and how organizations behave. The field of organizational behavior includes the study of individuals primarily in their organizational roles. A number of methods are used in organizational behavior including quantitative methods, computer simulation, and qualitative methods. Quantitative methods involve the usage of statistical methods such as correlation, analysis of variance and meta-analysis. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of organizational behavior. Such selected concepts that redefine this field have been presented herein. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book." Provided by publisher.
