The Organisational Behaviour (OB) area is internationally recognized for its teaching and research. Faculty members in the area have diverse research interests which include individual and interpersonal effectiveness, job involvement, gender issues at the workplace, work attitude, organisational excellence, human resources development, managerial culture and values, organisational dynamics and design, organisational learning, management of change and strategic organisations.

If students have an interest to apply their knowledge in their basic discipline such as psychology or sociology to the organisational context, research in OB will allow them to do so. It is not necessary for candidates to have an MBA degree, or a degree in psychology or sociology, to do an Ph.D. in the area. Rather, students from diverse disciplines are encouraged to apply for the doctoral programme in OB.Past OB Area doctoral students have been placed in prestigious institutes like IIMs, IITs, and other management schools within the country.
