The understanding, prediction, and control of human behavior in organizations is collectively referred to as the concept of organizational behavior. The organizational behavior concept has its own advantages and challenges.

Advantages

2. Organizational behaviour if used strategically will be a tool for managers in getting their work done effectively.

3. Organizational behaviour focuses on the interaction and relations between organisation and individual behaviour. It can help in drawing a psychological agreement between organisation and the individuals or employees.

4. Understanding the organizational behaviour of the employees and interacting with them accordingly will deliver job satisfaction to employees and helps in developing work-related behaviour in the organisation.

5. Organizational behaviour helps in building a motivational atmosphere in the organisation.

6. It helps in building up cordial relations among the employees.

7. Organizational behaviour helps to smoothen the progress of marketing by providing deeper insight of consumer behaviour.

8. OB helps in predicting behaviour and its application in meaningful way delivers effectiveness in the organisation.

9. Organizational behaviour enables effective management of available human resources.

10. Organizational behaviour helps in improving functional behaviour of the employees within the organisation. It contributes to organisations in attaining productivity, effectiveness and efficiency. It demotivates absenteeism, employee turnover, dissatisfaction, tardiness etc.  

Challenges

1. Emergence of e-organisation & e-commerce has shown challenge to organizational behaviour. In today's changed work system, it is not easy to understand the behaviour of each employee.

2. The businesses are forcing employees to fulfil their targets on time. This makes employees face ethical dilemmas, whether they should define right and wrong conduct in order to complete their assigned activities.

3. There would be different categories of employees who would be heterogeneous regarding gender, race, ethnicity, relation, community, culture, physically disadvantaged, elderly people etc. It would be a challenge to understand each category of people.

4. Organizational behaviour delegates more power and responsibility to the lower level cadre of employees. They will be assigned more freedom to make choices about their schedules, operations, procedures and the method of solving their work-related problems. This doesn't necessarily yield good results. This can be worse if not properly managed.
