The Individual is a central feature of OB, acting in isolation or as part of a group, in response to expectations of the organization, or as a result of the influences of the external environment
The Group people in groups influence each other in many ways and groups may develop their own hierarchies and leaders
The Organization structure is created to establish relationships between individuals and groups, to provide order and systems and to direct the efforts of the organization into goal-seeking activities
The Environment the organization functions as part of the broader external environment and it affects the organization through such as internationalization, technological and scientific development, economic activity, social and cultural influences and governmental actions
