In this context, it is observed that the environment of organizations have changed, which have made a significant impact on the organizational behavior which has impacted attitudes of individuals. The approaches that include human relations approach, systems approach and the contingency approaches are considered as the modern tactics which help in resolving the problems pertaining to attitudes of individuals that are arising due to the environment.
