About the course

Organizational Behaviour provides tools to understand, explain, and improve human behaviour in organizations. Because many organizations and managers tend to focus their efforts on enhancing employee job performance (i.e., the degree to which individuals perform the behaviours needed for the organization to achieve its goals) and organizational commitment (i.e., desires to remain a member of the organization), this course will introduce and explain individual, group, and organizational issues that affect organizations and will give particular attention to issues that influence job performance and organizational commitment. Topics, such as motivation, organizational justice, individual differences, team dynamics, leadership, and organizational culture, will be discussed.
