individual and group of individuals behave or act while performing activities together. It is
categorised in three aspects that are individuals in workplace, work groups along with how

academic discipline that includes recounting, accepting, envisaging and controlling behaviour of
human resources in working environment. The concept is constantly evolving due to various
factors and also faces wide numbers of challenges. As per the understanding of social
psychology, it can be said that one of the issue in organisational behaviour is telecommuting. It

the time of completing tasks. Revolution of industrial era has resulted in technological

interactions of human capital and impacts negatively on their behaviour or relationships among
people in workplace. As technology is essential in organisations, it influences organisational

out to be challenge for companies and cuts daily interactions of management team with
employees that leads to issues within behaviour of organisation.

values, religion, norms, attitude and many more. It brings huge challenges for company in
