This subject examines people management policies and practices from the perspective of the senior manager. It notes contemporary trends in organisational structure and explores related people management theory and practice using a behavioural science framework. It enables students to use behavioural science ideas to analyse individual performance issues and organisational processes in the management of human performance at work; relates people management practices to developments in management thought and to changing values in the world of business and administration; and critically evaluates the major theories and models that have been developed to explain individual, group and inter-group behaviour in work organisations.
