The biggest substantial contributor to organizational behavior is the individuals within the organization. Their attitudes, beliefs, values, and behaviors greatly influence the overall dynamics of the organization and how it functions. Understanding and managing individual behavior is crucial in shaping the culture and effectiveness of the organization.
Organizational behavior using a contingency approach means that it considers that behavior is influenced by various factors such as the situation, environment, and individual characteristics. It recognizes that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to understanding and managing behavior in organizations, and that different situations may require different approaches.
Organizational behavior is interdisciplinary because it draws insights from multiple fields such as psychology, sociology, anthropology, and economics to understand and explain human behavior in organizations. It combines theories and research methods from these disciplines to analyze factors affecting individual, group, and organizational dynamics within the workplace. This interdisciplinary approach allows for a more comprehensive understanding of organizational behavior and better informs strategies for managing and leading organizations effectively.

The four models of organizational behavior (autocratic, custodial, supportive, and collegial) all focus on understanding employee behavior within an organization, but differ in their approach to managing and motivating employees. Autocratic model relies on top-down decision-making, custodial model emphasizes providing economic rewards, supportive model focuses on creating a positive work environment, and collegial model promotes teamwork and collaboration. Each model has its own strengths and weaknesses in effectively managing organizational behavior.

Studying organizational behavior helps individuals gain insights into how people behave within an organization, leading to improved communication, teamwork, and overall effectiveness. It also provides strategies for managing and leading people, fostering a positive work culture, and enhancing organizational performance.
