1 Course Unit Title: MAN 602 Organizational Behavior Semester Lecture Department: Management Organization Doctoral Program Education Methods (hours) ECTS Credit Project Recitation/ /Field Homework Other Total Etude 10 Study Spring Language English Compulsory/Optional Compulsory Pre-Requisites None Course Description This course offers an introduction to selected theory and research in the field of organizational behavior. Traditionally, the field has taken a relatively narrow perspective in examining the behaviors of individuals in organizations. However, contemporary perspectives have widened this lens to offer a more complete and thorough understanding of the role of individuals in organizational life by incorporating the effects of context on these relationships. In particular, current perspectives seek to explore, understand and articulate the behaviors, thoughts and emotions of individuals within the context of work relationships, teams, and organizational settings. In essence, while the focus is still on the individual, the field acknowledges the embedded nature of organizational behavior. Individuals are nested within relationships and groups, and these relationships exist within and outside organizational boundaries. In this course, we will explore psychological theories of human behavior in order to understand the mechanisms driving human behavior within organizational contexts. While doing so we will embrace a critical perspective to the mainstream literature and question its assumptions through a cultural lens.
