An Analysis of Organisational Behaviour
Keywords:
ontextualization, organizational contextAbstract
In order to understand how context affects organizational behavior, it is necessary to contextualize the study of organizational behavior. According to the contextualized research standards, “organizational behavior falls short in this article. We examine the role of context and contextual factors on organizational behavior research and suggest approaches to contextualize it. Examples of contextualized research are discussed, as well as possible future prospects for this kind of study of organizational behavior in context. Last but not least, we make a call to action, urging academics to take on the task of re-contextualizing existing work on organizational behavior and to create new research avenues and theories for studying organizational behavior from scratch.
