Organizational behavior is the study of human and group behavior in organizations using methods such as sociology, anthropology, psychology, and political science (Schermerhorn, Hunt & Osborn, 2005). This study also empowers leaders to understand, predict, and influence the behaviors of workers. Furthermore, good leaders must also possess other qualities such as good communication skills, an ability to understand the culture of an organization, and must be knowledgeable about diversity in the workplace. Ress Asst (2012) describes diversity as the understanding of values and characteristics of different people. In order to have a diverse working environment, managers must be respectful, appreciative, and acknowledge the characteristics and ideas of individuals. Proper management of diverse employees allows for companies to receive the benefits from different talents and skills that employees are able to bring to the table. With diversity management, employees of different backgrounds learn to understand that everyone is not the same. However, with their differences, they are able to work together to get a job completed. This concept can be easy for managers to implement and practice by educating employees, communicating effectively, and enforcing how employees should treat each other.

It is reasonable to suggest that the overwhelming majority of humankind has either been part of or required the services of organizations at some point in time during their lives, and many of these consumers will likely testify that although every organization is different in some ways, they all share some common characteristics. Furthermore, because all organizations are comprised of mere humans, they are subject to the same behavioral whims, weaknesses and vagaries that also characterize the human condition from day to day and over time. To gain further insights into these concepts, this paper provides a review of the relevant peer-reviewed and scholarly literature to develop a comprehensive and robust definition of organizational behavior. This review is followed by a summary of the research and salient findings in the conclusion.
