Organizational behaviour is the study of individual, group, and organizational actions and outcomes. This course introduces students to the study of meso OB, or the simultaneous study of two or more of these levels of analysis. Students learn multi-level theory and statistical techniques and read both classic and recent research and theory on topics that span levels, such as culture, social identity, status and power, and work group dynamics. Prior to each session, students will have read and reflected upon the assigned material. Meeting time will primarily be used to draw out key ideas from the theories, to discuss the contributions, strengths, and weaknesses of the work, to raise significant issues, and to consider the emerging general direction of the area. Students will develop their own meso research proposal and will present it to the class at the end of the semester.
