Abstract: Blemish, a mark of imperfection by dictionary meaning is a game played psychologically which has its source from much petty dissension in everyday life of human beings. As like any other psychological game this also leads the person through a series of complementary ulterior transactions to a well-defined predictable outcome. A manager who acts as a key person in organisational development is often seen blaming his subordinates and coworkers thereby leading them to a disengaged status. Manager's such behavior is attributed to various theories in OB. This article critically analyses those theories and introduces the concept of Blemish for the reader to create an understanding of it and identify the real gimmick behind such a behavior.
