Organizational Behavior.

Abstract

A review of contemporary theory and research in Organizational Behavior (OB) is presented. The review emphasizes the 1983 journal literature in OB interpreted within historical trends in the field. There are three major foci for the review: (a) a focus on individual attributes (motivation, job attitudes including job satisfaction, organizational commitment, stress and turnover), (b) a focus on group and organizational characteristics (intergroup theory and teams, leadership, organizational climate and culture) and (c) a focus on productivity. A methodological and conceptual theme, level of analysis, is emphasized throughout. It is concluded that OB is alive and well and living on many levels. (Author)
