MANAGEMT 7087NA - Managing Organisational Behaviour

This course acquaints students with the field of organisational behaviour (OB) and expects them to apply OB theories in effectively leading and managing modern organisations. Students are encouraged to adopt a scientific perspective in reassessing their own leadership approaches and rely on the best available evidence to inform managerial decision-making. The course covers a range of topics, including individual characteristics relevant to leadership (e.g., demographic traits, personality, and perceptions), interpersonal influence (e.g., motivating others, team-building, acquiring power, and leading others), as well as fostering constructive cultures (e.g., high-performance, inclusive, and ethical culture). The overarching objective of this course is to equip students with evidence-based practices that enable them to effectively navigate the challenges inherent in contemporary organisational contexts.
