Organizational Behavior Model
/ˌɔrgənaɪˈzeɪʃənəl bɪˈheɪvjər ˈmɒdəl/

Key Insights
According to the organisational behaviour model, states' behaviour is not utility-maximizing. Instead, state action resembles the organisational output of government agencies. Organisations operate according to standard operating procedures, which can increase efficiency. However, standardisation also means procedures cannot be tailored to specific circumstances and could be outdated. Subsequently, government agencies might act in ways contradicting the paradigm of utility maximisation.
