: Organizational behavior is the study of how people interact in the workplace and how this interaction affects the organization. Managers are a key component within an organization and greatly impact internal interactions. They are the people who most directly influence the behavior of employees—whether through motivation, rewards, mentoring, or discipline.
Managers need to be good at planning, organizing, leading, and controlling, but they also need good interpersonal skills. How managers get along with their employees can have a big impact on how those employees do their jobs. If management provides a supportive work environment and employees feel valued and respected, they will be more content and more productive.
