Prof & HoD, MBA Program, SIMS, Symbiosis International University, Pune Abstract Organizations have witnessed great transformation in respect of structure, operations and people due to trends in globalization, employment relationships, changing workforce and information technology. This paper assesses the changes in organizational behavior (OB) and its emergence as an independent field. The authors aim to provide a comprehensive overview to discuss contemporary organizational behavior with an interdisciplinary focus. The paper focuses on reviewing the available literature and providing an overall picture of the situation of OB as it exists today. It also gives a glimpse of the factors that have been associated with and reviewed in the area of OB so far. The paper concludes with the gaps that exist in the domain and paves way for future research prospects. The findings indicate that with the advent of more sophisticated computers and analytic techniques, there have been movements toward greater levels of quantification from both the micro and macro perspectives. Also, much of our extant knowledge reflects the perspectives and experiences of a relatively small proportion of today's highly diverse population. This research permitted us to examine the broad outlines of long-term trends in the field of OB, as reflected in shifts in the pertinent literature. This research will prove informative for a variety of readers: established academicians can compare their opinion with the data; younger researchers can better understand the history of the sector they are joining; practitioners and managers can see what academic observers of organizations have deemed important and what the future holds. The review provides a detailed list of behavioral disciplines and external forces that are the root of modern organizational behavior. However, the paper does not provide an empirical view to offer a more textured account to shed light on the literary and conditional forces underlying major trends and events.
