A theory that is often called the human relations movement because it addresses the human dimension of work. Behavioral theorists believed that a better understanding of human behavior at work, such as motivation, conflict, expectations, and group dynamics, improved productivity.

1. Morale

2. Group dynamics

3. Democratic supervision

4. Personal relations

5. Behavioural concept of Motivation
