This module introduces fundamental concepts and ideas on the structure, operation and management of organisations, and interactions among people who work in them. It focuses on providing awareness of the organisational factors and management processes influencing the behaviour and performance of people at work. As an area of academic study and practical application, organisational behaviour has a vital importance to those who aspire to manage and lead people in organisations. This module therefore addresses different perspectives on organisational processes and settings, explaining the nature of individual-based dimensions of organising and management, group development and teamwork, leadership, the management of change, organisational cultures, and organisational development interventions that impinge on organisational behaviour.
