Organizational behaviour research possesses some endemic problems which constrict its progress. This introduction to Management Revue's special issue on organizational behaviour debates six deficiencies in the current research: an unclear conception of how to understand the "organizational" in organizational behaviour; the lack of studies which connect micro-and macro-behaviour; a sterile concentration on the study of relationships instead of mechanisms; a superficial understanding of the practical side of organizational behaviour research; an ignorance of the upheavals in the world of work; and a stagnation in theoretical developments. The last section introduces other articles in this issue of Management Revue.
