Undergraduate
Subject coordinator: Tony Holland

This subject critically evaluates the major theories and debates that explain the behaviour of people in work settings and the nature of the organisational context where that behaviour occurs. It focuses on individual, group and organisational factors influencing the effectiveness of organisations. The subject analyses, in detail, underlying situational and environmental factors and issues affecting the behaviour of people at work and the impact of that behaviour upon HRD plans and activities. Themes include employee attitudes and behaviour in relation to motivation, organisational performance, motivation, groups and teamwork, decision making, and the management and development of culture and meaning in organisations. Case studies and exercises are used to illustrate organisational and behavioural issues within the HRD context.
