Description

Organizations today need leaders who can thoroughly understand human behaviour at work in order to be able to develop new methods, new practices and innovative procedures that add value to the business administration. To achieve this, managers are required to be excellent communicators, who can motivate teams and who can impact the overall organizational behavior in harmony with the vision. This course will examine the main concepts of human psychology within organizations. The purpose is to develop solid theoretical-conceptual knowledge about organizational psychology and its understanding as a discipline within organizations as well as its characteristics in a contemporary perspective.
