Everyone in today’s organizations, whether they choose the role of senior executive, manager or employee, needs an understanding of how people behave in organizations. Organizational behavior is the study of behavioral science applications in organizations- what people think, feel and do in and around organizations. This course draws on psychology, sociology, anthropology and related disciplines, but its distinction is that the goal for understanding human behavior is to improve individual performance and organizational effectiveness. The study of organizational behavior examines individual characteristics in a richly diverse workplace, group dynamics in task completion, and the profound effects that individual and group behaviors have on an organization’s success.
