The study of Organizational Behavior & Human Resource Management (OB & HRM) forms important
aspects of the study of any management discipline. In this regard, this book provides important concepts
and practices of human behavior and human resource management. Understanding how people behave in
an organization is important because most people work for an organization at some point in their lives and
are affected–both positively and negatively–by their experiences in it. An understanding of OB and HRM
can help people to enhance the positive while reducing the negative, effects of working in an organization.
As we know, many changes are occurring in workplaces. Organizations are becoming knowledge-based.
Globalization has become a mantra for corporate survival. Developments in information technology and
networking systems such as mobile phones, email, and the internet have challenged traditional organizational
structures. Organizations are looking for people with a high level of competency and multi-skills to perform
knowledge-based jobs. Taking into account these challenges facing our organizations, this book has been
prepared to familiarize business students, academicians, and practicing managers with the concepts,
practices, and developments in the areas of organizational behavior and human resource management.
This book “Organizational Behavior & Human Resource Management” is primarily written according
to the new curriculum prescribed by the Faculty of Management, Tribhuvan Universtiy, for the students
of BBS 2nd Year. The purpose of this book is to present the new concepts, principles, and practices of
organizational behavior and human resource management in such a way that they may be easily intelligible
not only to the students of management discipline but also to its practitioners. This book covers the entire
curriculum in a simple and understandable language. Hence, we are confident that this book will prove very
useful to the students. We hope this book will also be useful for the students of BBA of different universities
in Nepal. This book is also helpful for Officer Level Competitive Examination of Public Service Commission,
Public Enterprises, Universities, Private Sector, NGOs, and INGOs. This book is also useful for all who
work, think, and feel in and around organizations.
