Why are there few absolutes in OB?
There are few, if any, simple and universal principles that explain organizational behavior.

They allow scientists to generalize about the pull of gravity or to be confident about sending astronauts into space repair satellite. But as a noted behavioral researcher aptly concluded, “god gave all the easy problems to the physicists”. Human being are complete, because they are not alike, our ability to make simple, accurate and sweeping generalizations is limited. Two people often act very differently in the same situation, and the same person’s behavior changes in different situations. For instance, not everyone is motivated by money, and you behave differently at church on Sunday than you did at the party the night before.
That doesn’t mean, of course that we can’t offer reasonably accurate explanations of human behavior or make valid predictions.
