The linkage between environmental psychology and organizational behavior is demonstrated by use of Wapner's holistic, developmental, systems-oriented perspective. This approach uses the organism-in-environment as the unit of analysis, and provides different features of the organism, the environment, and their relations to conceptualize the problems and issues of organizational behavior in a novel way. By examining the individual-in-group, individual-in-organization, group-in-organization, and organization-in-environment systems, this theoretical approach encompasses numerous studies already conducted, and moreover, operates as a powerful heuristic device that leads to new avenues of research.
