ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHYChiaburu, D.S., Oh, I.S., Berry, C.M., Li, N. and Gardner, R.G., 2011. The five-factor model of personality traits and organizational citizenship behaviours: a meta-analysis.Organizational behaviour represents the study of the behaviour of individuals or groups within an organization. This includes their attitude, understanding, communications and actions. The authors in their paper have analyzed the individual and group behaviour within an organization. The organizational behaviour is an important factor in deterring the organization culture and it affects the performance of the organization. The authors cited from Leigh Thompson that organizational behaviour is the study of the patterns of thoughts, behaviour and feelings of the individuals and the groups within the organization, and how these are influenced by the actual, imagined and implied presence of other people.
