COURSE OVERVIEW:

Organisational behaviour is a field of research that helps predict, explain, and understand behaviours occurring in and among organisations. In other words, OB is the "study of human behaviour in organisational settings, the interface between human behaviour and the organisation, and the organisation itself".

Organisational behaviour can help employees navigate a business's culture as well as help managers better understand how that culture helps or hinders employee productivity and retention.

OB can also help managers evaluate a potential job candidate's skills and personality during the hiring process, allowing human resources to find the best fit for departments within the company. While there is never one exact way to assess these things, OB theory offers a set of guidelines to help organisations create a positive and vibrant internal culture.

When a strong model of OB is in place, employees can understand themselves better and know how they can best flourish inside an organisation. And managers are better able to predict how employees might react under differing circumstances and adjust accordingly.

Creating a culture where relationships are cooperative, employees feel valued and companies flourish is at the heart of organisational behaviour.

The first part of this course defines the field of organisational behaviour. The three subfields of organisational behaviour then explore the four stages of the problem-solving process and how they can help you become a better manager.

The second part covers why the study of organisational behaviour must be framed in an understanding of organisations as work settings. Also explains the relationships between organisational behaviour and management, ethics and organisational behaviour and then examines the high performance context of organisational behaviour.
