Understanding Organizational Behavior Helen Stevenson

The study of human behavior within organizational settings is referred to as organizational behavior. It also studies the interface between human behavior and the organization. The study of organizational behavior is broadly classified into a few categories such as micro-level, meso-level and macro-level. The individuals in organizations fall under micro-level, the work groups are studied under meso-level and the study of the ways in which an organization behaves comes under macro-level. A number of methods are used for research in the field of organizational behavior such as quantitative methods and qualitative methods. Quantitative methods include statistical methods such as correlation, meta-analysis, multilevel modeling, multiple regression and structural equation modeling. Some of the methods which fall under the category of qualitative research are ethnography, case studies, historical methods and interviews. This textbook provides comprehensive insights into the field of organizational behavior. Some of the diverse topics covered herein address the varied branches that fall under this category.
