Introduction:

To arrive at a useful and meaningful definition of organizational behavior, let’s first look at what an organization is. An organization is a collection of people who work together to achieve a wide variety of goals. Individual goals are what people are trying to accomplish for themselves – earning a lot of money, helping promote a worthy cause, achieving certain levels of power and prestige, enjoying a satisfying work experience, and so on. Organizational goals are what the organization as a whole is trying to accomplish, such as providing innovative goods and services that customers want, getting candidates elected, raising money for medical research, making a profit to reward stockholders, managers, and employees, and so on. An effective organization is one that achieves both individual and organizational goals.
