The aim of this unit is to develop knowledge and understanding of how organisational
behaviour concepts, theories and techniques can be applied in work and
management settings to enhance individual, team and organisational performance.
Students will be able to apply this knowledge in a variety of business situations.
They will appreciate how effective application of organisational behaviour principles
can be used to explain why people behave and act in particular ways and to predict
how employees will respond to certain demands. The unit also develops student
understanding of the influence of culture and of the operation of power and politics in
organisations, and how these variables influence the actions and behaviour of people
in an organisational context.
