Human Behaviour in Organisations

Synopsis

Developing human capital requires an understanding of why employees behave the way they do and what managers can do to influence that behaviour. HRM203 Human Behaviour in Organisations considers this question at three levels of analysis: the individual, the group, and the inter-group organisation. It is designed to provide a basic foundation in organisational behaviour, management and work. Topics focus on individual behaviour in organisations, group processes, social processes and organisational processes.
