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.
