DEFINITION
 OB can be defined as the understanding,
prediction and management of human
behavior in organizations.
 Luthans,2010,p.20.
 OB is concerned with “The study of the
structure, functioning and performance of
organizations and the behavior of groups and
individuals within them.”
 Pugh,(1971)
ORIGIN OF OB
 Industrial Evolution
 F.W.Taylor-(1916) – scientific management
 Henry Fayol-(1916)-Principles of governing
behavior
 Elton Mayo-(1920)- Hawthrone’s experiments
 Peter Drucker-(1909-2005)- Modern
management,Innovation
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK FOR
ORGANIZATION BEHAVIOR
 Cognitive Framework
 Behavioristic Framework
 Social Learning Framework
COGNITIVE FRAMEWORK
 This framework was introduced by the “Edward Tolman”
 Cognition means the mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding thought, experience and the
senses.
 Behavior is purposive (directed towards a purposes or goal)
 Learning consists of the expectancy that particular event
will leads to particular consequence.
BEHAVIORISTIC FRAMEWORK
 This framework developed by Ivan Pavlov and
J.B.Wotson
 Study learning by focusing on observable events, both
environmental and behavioral.
 OB can be explained with help of Stimulus and
Responses.
 Behavioristic framework
classical conditioning theory
operant condition theory (B.F.Skinner)
SOCIAL COGNITIVE FRAMEWORK
The theory explains human behavior in terms of
continuous reciprocal interaction among
cognitive, behavioral and environmental
influences.
