Abstract:

Organizational behavior (OB) is the study of how people interact in organizations. These interactions are governed by a number of factors, including the student's personal life, the personality of the student's boss or your boss's boss, a direct report, the team the student has been assigned to, or the direction that the top of the organization has given the student. OB researchers carefully monitor these dynamics within an organization, because any time there is friction, money is lost. A certain level of friction is to be expected (and often even desirable), but most of the friction that occurs within an organization is counterproductive and detrimental to the bottom line. Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: Define organizational behavior (OB); Understand the current trends for organizational behavior; Explain the benefits of diversity; Describe the cross cultural challenges of the workplace; Explain how work attitudes affect workplace behavior; Name the key attributes that are relevant for performance; Explain how motivation affects performance; Describe various approaches to job design; Compare and contrast groups vs. teams; Describe and identify group development and group dynamics; Define power and recognize the sources of power; Describe and identify the factors of organizational politics; Describe the various types of conflict; Explain how to effectively manage conflict; Describe and identify negotiation strategies; Define organizational structure; Describe organizational change.
