Introduction

Organizational behavior studies humans being in a particular social setting such as business and other social settings. There are three divisions in the theories of organizational behavior which include micro, messo and macro level (Weick, 1981). Macro-level organizational behavior looks at how the organizations behave. Macro organizational behavior is looked at from four perspectives which include political science, economics, anthropology and sociology (Weick, 1981).
