Purpose The analyses of organizations have been attempted at different levels and from differing perspectives. From the point of view of organization as a whole where organization itself is considered a unit, from the perspective of the subunits of organization and from the reference point of the people working within the organization where the impact of individuals and groups are observed over the behavior of the organization. Micro Organisational Behaviour is studied from the point of view of individuals and groups. Psychology being the mother discipline, this field of study exerts its analysis at three different levels at personal, interpersonal and at group levels. The purpose of this course is to develop an understanding among the future managers on the ways in which the personal and group dynamics affect the behavior of an organization. This will prepare and help them in understanding the situation and strategizing their actions on issues related to improvement in the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization involving individuals and groups working within the organization.
