Course Summary

In this course, you will investigate the ways in which individuals and groups function in organisations and the impact of the organisational environment. You will also learn how to promote well-being and productivity within organisational settings by applying knowledge of both human behaviour and organisational systems. Theories and research of human motivation will also be examined. Change can also be a major issue within organisations, particularly with respect to getting employees on board with organisational changes. You will explore mechanisms to help employees to accept and contribute to change processes. You will also explore principles underlying effective employee recruitment. Empirically validated strategies for goal-setting and achievement, drawing on positive psychology and other evidence-based models, will also be addressed and applied to topics including psychological wellbeing, health and goal achievement in both personal and work contexts.
