Organisational Behaviour

Understanding what shapes the way organisations work

Business is about people. From the smallest enterprise to the largest corporation, organisations are created and designed by people to fulfil human objectives.

Organisational behaviour (OB) seeks to understand how we can best do this. The OB group aims to provide high impact scholarship and teaching, leading to a better understanding of human behaviour in organisations.

What we do

The research interests of our faculty and PhD students involve:

  • Micro themes - the psychological principles that govern leadership, motivation, decision-making, negotiation and creativity. 
  • Macro themes - the sociological, cultural and institutional factors shaping organisational structures and systems, inter-organisational relationships and networks.
  • Meso factors - these focus on teamwork, group dynamics, organisational culture and personal identity.
