RSM3064H: Advanced Topics in Organizational Behaviour

This course introduces advanced topics in organizational behaviour, with a special focus on the role of the individuals within organizations. It provides an overview of the research on individual attributes and characteristics, and how these influence cognitive processes and affect outcomes at the individual, group, and firm levels. The course begins with an overview of organizational behaviour research, tracing the origins of some of the most popular topics over the years, and proceeding to the in-depth study of these topics: personality and related attributes, attitudes and emotions, self-construal perceptions, culture and values, motivation, leadership, organizational justice, psychological contracts, cognition and decision making, and person-environment fit. For each chosen topic, both theory and empirical research will be covered, and the emphasis will be placed on the linkage between them
