| DESCRIPTION | The study-unit aims to provide the students with an opportunity to expand their understanding of organizational dynamics, behaviours and psychology by engaging in several case studies relevant to organizational psychology. Participants will have the opportunity to appreciate how theories translate into real practices at work. They will do this by evaluating case studies, group discussions, short lectures and presentations. At the end of the study-unit students will: - Appreciate better how certain theories learnt in organizational psychology translate into the workplace; - Be able to provide a more knowledgeable opinion about the validity and utility of such practices at work. Tentative Study-unit Outline: There is no fixed study-unit outline for this study-unit. Students will be given a brief overview of organizational psychology and then presented with several case studies in several areas of organizational psychology to discuss.
