Managing and Organisational Behaviour

This module focuses on understanding key 21st century challenges (globalisation, managing the triple bottom line, new technology and high performance work systems) and how human resources processes and organisational behaviour theories can provide insights to address them. It examines the business organisation in terms of structure, process behavior, work psychology from a managerial perspective, and provides a comprehensive and critical understanding of how human resources contribute to a firm's competitive advantage.

After the training the participant will be able to:  

• demonstrate a critical theoretical understanding of human resources and organisational behaviour management as used in practice

• be capable of framing the organisational phenomenon within a larger context of continuous sustainable development and increasing technology use

• analyse and evaluate individual, group and organisational behaviours for effective management. 
  

• Session 1 : Evidence-based approach to HR/OB 
  

• Session 2 : Personality, Perceptions and Attitudes
  

• Session 3 : Emotions, Motivation and Reward
  

• Session 4 : Job Design 
  

• Session 5 : Workplace Stress and Technology 

Each session will be divided in short (30 mins) and lively sequences. These sequences will either be interactive lectures, case studies, real life examples, experiential activities, simulations, discussions, or group presentations. Class discussion should be grounded on students’ experience.
