ORGL 690 Organizational Behavior

 

 

 

Rooted within the disciplines of social and industrial/organizational psychology, cognitive psychology, and microeconomics, organizational behavior studies the psychology of how and why individuals behave at work. Concentrating on the theme of influence, Organizational Behavior explores the conditions that influence individuals to perform effectively or ineffectively, or even to misbehave. How one employee influences another, whether peer, colleague, superior, etc., to do what is needed and/or desired is explored, as are organizational justice, rewards, goal setting, performance improvement, conflict, diversity, group dynamics, team leadership, decision-making, and power, trust, and personal influence.
