Units 1.00 (Organisation Management) Band 2

This course provides students with a management perspective on organisational behaviour. Organisational behaviour is a field of study that specifically focuses on the impact that people have on organisational effectiveness and efficiency. The impact of behaviour is considered at three levels. First, at the level of the individual, attributes and processes such as personality, motivation, perception, job satisfaction and job performance are identified and the managerial implications for motivating employees are considered. Second, at the group level, the important attributes of group dynamics are identified and the managerial implications for motivating employees are considered. Second, at the group level, the important attributes of group dynamics are identified and the managerial implications for developing teams, influencing outcomes, and resolving conflicts are considered. Third, at the organisation-wide level of analysis, structure, culture and change are considered as major challenges to managers for achieving quality outcomes. At the three different levels of analysis, managers are concerned with the behavioural implications for achieving goals on the one hand, and adapting goals so that organisations are relevant to their environments on the other hand. Students are concerned with understanding these behavioural implications. The study of organisational behaviour must thus be seen as an essential foundation for professional business education.
