HR 617 Organizational Behavior
The primary objective of this course is to help you understand the individual, group, and organizational factors that
influence individual attitudes, behaviors, and experiences in the workplace. No matter what career path you choose,
understanding these topics will enable you to successfully craft your own career and interact effectively with others in
the workplace. Because you have already been exposed to the basic theories of management, this course will emphasize
applying these theories to address problems and using them to analyze current management trends. We will also discuss
the implications of what we learn for your own careers. To achieve these learning objectives, we will supplement readings
from the text with readings from business publications, self-assessment exercises, case analyses,
group experiences, and reflection.
