Summary
Description
Behaviour represents the observable part of a person's competency. In the context of human resource management, studying behaviour is a way of evaluating competency and qualification.
Behaviour is affected by a person's motivation and values. Skinner believed that the best way to understand behavior is to look at the causes of an action and its consequences.[1]
In addition to individual factors, behaviour is influenced by the organizational culture. For example, knowledge sharing is influenced by Knowledge sharing culture.
