OB 501 - Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior


This course will introduce students to established and emerging trends, theories and research in the field of Organizational Behavior (OB). Traditionally, OB has focused on examining  the behavior of individuals and groups within organizations and of the organization itself. However, contemporary perspectives  have widened this lens to offer a more thorough and complete understanding of the role of individuals and groups in organizational life and the effects of context on organizational relationships. Thus, in this course we will explore the behaviors, thoughts and emotions of individuals within the context of work relationships, teams, and organizational/community settings. And we will examine how organizations are impacted by political, economic, and sociological contexts as well as their internal physical and social structures.
