14. Explain the contribution of psychology in the study of Organisational Behaviour.

14.       ‘Psychology’ essentially means the study of the mind. Such studies on human being are of vital importance for the understanding of the attitudes, behaviours and tendencies of man. Psychology therefore enables practitioners and academicians to appreciate the ‘why’, ‘how’, and ‘what’ aspects of behaviour. When applied to ‘organisations’ behaviours and traits emanating from the experiences and exposures of men in human societies are brought into the organisational environment. Issues like ‘expected’ behaviours, work culture, habits, retraining, personality types required, abilities to face challenges, stress, resources handling, people skills, structured work, etc. expose employees and organisational members to change or modify behaviours which are both personally and organisationally sustainable. The study of psychology is expected to contribute much to organisational studies.
