The course of Organizational Behavior (OB) addresses the systematic study of actions and

attitudes that people demonstrate within organizations. The goal is to prepare students for

their careers by helping them understand and apply the OB principles in the real-life

situations to increase work productivity, leadership effectiveness and employee satisfaction

and motivation.

The course focuses on OB at three levels: individual, interpersonal, and collective. We will

start at the individual level, covering decision-making, motivation, and personality. We will

then turn to the interpersonal level, covering communication, power, influence, and

negotiations. Finally, we will move up to the collective level, covering leadership and

organizational context.
