Explanation / Answer

1. In any business organization, a study of individuals as to how they react within a group helps to understand their behavior and thereby attempting to create a more efficient organization on the basis of such a study. This is what an Organization Behavior (OB) refers to. OB further helps in applying various scientific theories to study these individuals working in a Corporate set-up in order to optimize the performance of overall human resource.
