Human Behavior in Organization

Human Behavior in Organization
Course Description:
The study of organizational behavior encompasses the behavior of individual organization members
and groups within organizations; the myriad of organizational processes, dynamics, and conditions of the
organization as a whole; and the ways in which all these factors interrelate.
This course helps students develop conceptual, diagnostic and personal skills for dealing with human
interaction in complex organizations with diverse workforces. We will take a systems approach to the material,
finding in systems theories the common framework that links organizational processes and dynamics at the
individual, group, and organizational levels.
We will compare and contrast behavioral theories and deal with a range of topics, including individual
development and motivation, group and team development and dynamics, communication, leadership, conflict,
power/politics, culture, diversity, creativity, ethics, decision-making, and the organizational psyche.
The student will develop skills in applying these concepts and theories by analyzing realistic
organizational cases and processing and discussing those analyses with fellow students and the instructor. The
student will bring these skills to their own organizations to assess current management practices and develop
recommendations for improvement
