Organisational Behaviour (OB) is like peeking behind the curtain of a workplace drama. It is all about understanding how people, teams, and the overall structure influence the way we work together. Think of it as the playbook for creating a positive and productive work environment. From how we talk to each other to the secrets of good leadership, it is the guide to making work not just a place to clock in but a stage for success!

“Organisational behaviour is a subset of management activities concerned with understanding, predicting and influencing individual behaviour in an organisational setting.” – Callahan, Fleenor and Kudson.
