Course Objectives | The main objective of this course is providing students with a global and broad perspective of reasons and results of human behavior in organizations. Laws in the physical sciences are consistent and apply in a wide range of situations. But human beings are complex, and no simple and universal principles explain human behaviors. Because we are not alike, our ability to make simple, accurate, and sweeping generalizations is limited. Understanding employees’ behaviors has never been more important for managers. Global competition requires employees to become more flexible and cope with rapid change. The global recession has brought to the forefront the challenges of working with and managing people during uncertain times. Each person is a student of behavior. We all have been “reading” people almost all our lives, watching their actions and trying to interpret what we see or predict what people might do under different conditions. Unfortunately, the casual or common sense approach to reading others can often lead to erroneous predictions. However, we can improve our predictive ability by supplementing intuition with a more systematic approach which is based on the belief that behavior is not random. |
