| Credit Points: 15 | |||
| Description: | |||
| This unit will provide an opportunity to critically explore the various aspects and issues influencing managing human behaviour and relationships in an organisational context. Traditional theoretical approaches will be presented and contrasted with recent developments arising out of psychology and sociology. Traditional approaches assist managers to instrumentally organise people to behave in predictable ways. This unit examines the psychology of individual differences and how diversity affects personality, perceptions, emotions and the experience of stress. Interactionist and critical approaches to organisational behaviour explore how individuals make sense of their world and how they construct a sense of self within diverse organisational contexts. More importantly, this unit assists managers to understand the formal and informal characteristics group behaviour, why they form, why teams and other management initiatives may be dysfunctional outcomes. | |||
