Organizational Behaviour has emerged as one of the most significant areas of study in modern management education, as it focuses on understanding how individuals and groups behave within organizational settings. For MBA students, developing an understanding of human behaviour at the workplace is essential for building effective managerial and leadership skills. This textbook has been prepared primarily for the first-year MBA autonomous program with the objective of providing students with a clear, systematic, and practical understanding of the core concepts of Organizational Behaviour.

The book aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. It explains key concepts in a simple and structured manner so that students can easily understand the dynamics of individual behaviour, group interaction, and organizational processes. The subject matter has been carefully organized to provide a strong foundation for learners who are beginning their study of management and organizational behaviour.

The book begins with an introduction to the Nature and Principles of Management, which provides a conceptual understanding of management and its importance in organizational functioning. This is followed by a chapter on Personality, which explores the role of individual differences and behavioural patterns in shaping workplace interactions. The chapter on Motivation Theories discusses important motivational concepts that influence employee performance and organizational effectiveness.

Subsequent chapters address Communication and Conflict, highlighting the importance of effective communication systems and constructive conflict management within organizations. The chapter on Organizational Structure and Types provides insights into how organizations are designed and structured to achieve efficiency and coordination.

To enhance practical understanding and experiential learning, a section of Case Studies has been included at the end of the book. These cases are designed to encourage critical thinking, analysis, and the application of theoretical concepts to real-world organizational situations.
