CHAPTER OVERVIEW
Organizational behaviour is a field of study devoted to understanding and explaining the
attitudes and behaviours of individuals and groups in organizations. The two primary outcomes
of organizational behaviour are job performance and organizational commitment. This chapter
explores the factors that affect these outcomes, and shows how scientific studies provide
evidence that good organizational behaviour policies are linked to employee productivity, firm
profitability, and even firm survival. This chapter also shows how we “know what we know”
about organizational behaviour by describing the scientific research process.
