Purpose
The analyses of organizations have been attempted at different
levels and from differing
perspectives. From the point of view of organization as a whole
where organization itself is
considered a unit, from the perspective of the subunits of
organization and from the reference
point of the people working within the organization where the
impact of individuals and groups
are observed over the behavior of the organization.
Micro Organisational Behaviour is studied from the point of view
of individuals and groups.Psychology being the mother discipline,
this field of study exerts its analysis at three different
levels at personal, interpersonal and at group levels.
The purpose of this course is to develop an understanding among
the future managers on the
ways in which the personal and group dynamics affect the
behavior of an organization. This will

strategizing their actions on issues
related to improvement in the efficiency and effectiveness of an
organization involving
individuals and groups working within the organization.
