Course Description:
This course helps to expose students to fundamentals of organizational behavior such as working with people, the nature of organizations, communication, leadership, and motivation of people. They will then be provided with the knowledge and skills to deal with group behavior, leadership, communication, conflict management, and organizational development issues. The focus of instruction will move progressively through the individual, group, and organizational levels of behavior and will examine the interrelationships of behavioral phenomena among these levels.
Objectives:
Managers need to know why people behave as they do in relation to their jobs, their workgroups, and their organizations. This knowledge of individuals' perceptions, motivational attitudes, and behavior will enable managers to not only understand themselves better but also to adopt appropriate managerial policies and leadership styles to increase their effectiveness. The goal of this course is, therefore, to help students develop a conceptual understanding of OB theories and to provide them with skills to put those ideas and theories into practice.
