Synopsis This subject provides a framework for understanding the behaviour of people in work settings. Its field of analysis includes the individual, the group, and the total organisation, and it is concerned with characteristics and processes, and individual and organisational outcomes. As such, it provides information upon factors that effect the behaviour of people at work, and also upon human factors that influence both the effectiveness and efficiency of organisations.
