Abstract:
Managers get the work done through people. They allocate the
resources, direct the activities of others, and take decisions to attain
organisational goals. Organisation is a coordinated social unit,
composed of two or more people, which functions to achieve a
common goal. Managers are responsible for the functioning of the
organisation. The world has become a global village. Understanding
Organisational Behaviour has become very important for managers
today. Globalization has presented challenges and opportunities for
Organisational Behaviour. Various changes such as increase in the
number of women employees, corporate downsizing, increase in
number of temporary workers are taking place in the organisations.

satisfaction. It is concerned with the study of what people do in an
organisation and how their behaviour affects the organisations
performance.
The following paper is conceptual in nature and it attempts to explain
what Organisation Behaviour is and its role in management of
