Organizational behavior (OB) is "the study of human behavior in organizational settings, the interface between human behavior and the organization, and the organization itself." OB can be divided into micro OB (the study of individuals in organizations), meso OB (the study of work groups), and macro OB (the study of how organizations behave).According to Miner (2006) when organizational behavior began the overlap between the well established scientific field of organizational psychology was pronounced and there was even moves to try and incorporate industrial and organizational psychology into business schools in the United States Although there are subtle differences, there is still a lot of confusion as to the difference between organizational behavior and organisational psychology as Jex and Britt (2008) point out.
