Understanding Organizational Behaviour

Evidence-Based Management (EBM) involves basing managerial decisions on the best available scientific evidence. It relates to organizational behavior as it emphasizes the importance of using scientific evidence to understand, predict, and manage human behavior within organizations.

EBM differs from relying on common sense and intuition as it emphasizes the importance of using scientific evidence, systematic study, and best available evidence to make managerial decisions, rather than solely relying on gut feelings, intuition, or individual observation.

EBM contributes to the development of organizational behavior by emphasizing the need to think like scientists, pose managerial questions, search for the best available evidence, and apply relevant information to cases. It promotes the incorporation of scientific evidence from various behavioral sciences, such as psychology, in understanding and managing human behavior within organizations.

Organizational Behavior (OB) is the study of human behavior in organizational settings, the interface between human behavior and the organization, and the organization itself.

Systematic study in OB enables managers to predict behaviors, which can help in managing human resources more effectively and efficiently.

Psychology, sociology, social psychology, anthropology, and political science are the major behavioral science disciplines that contribute to OB.

The three levels of analysis in the OB model are individual level (micro), group level (meso), and organization system level (macro). These levels allow for examination of behavior at different levels of complexity within an organization.
