Abstract: This paper aims at providing a conceptual framework to analyze the public sector through a behavioral approach.The paper relies on the framework provided by Huse (2007) to study the behavioral approach in the private sector and employs a systematic literature review to adapt this framework to the public sector.The findings enable the application of the behavioral approach to the public sector through four main areas of discussion: human resource management, interactions, organizational climate, and culture leadership and structure.Literature on public sector has less regarded this dimension despite behaviors may affect both individual and organizational performance. Thus, this paper has manifold interesting implications, especially with reference to an effective change management in the public sector.
