Abstract

The present paper reviews the research literature Organisation Behaviour in India between 1970 and 1979. It identifies three dominant themes in the literature, viz. Person themes; Process themes and Action themes. Over 50 per cent of the research is still on Person themes with its moorings in Psychology. Only 14% of the work centres around organisational processes and a third are descriptive writings of interventions primarily by outside consultants with very little planned research elements. The implications of the above for further work in OB in India is explored. The paper provides bibliographies on various themes at the end as well as a sampler of contributions under each theme in the text.
