Organizational behavior draws from several contributing disciplines including psychology, sociology, social psychology, anthropology, and political science. Psychology contributes to understanding individual behaviors related to learning, motivation, emotions, and decision making. Sociology examines group behaviors and dynamics within formal organizations. Social psychology focuses on how people influence each other through communication, attitudes, and group processes. Anthropology provides insights into organizational culture and environments across cultures. Political science informs how power and conflict operate within organizational systems.
