Course Objectives

Organizations and groups link social structure and individual action. Sociological theory studies how behavior and activities within organizations are largely a matter of context rather than character or personality. The purpose of this course is to help students understand organizations and take effective action in them by understanding the social dynamics and context shaping organizational life.

Learning Outcomes

The students who succeeded in this course;

Gain a solid foundation in theoretical perspectives on organizational dynamics,
Determine and apply a management perspective that suits best to the situation,
Understand contemporary organizational factors such as trust, justice, empowerment, and psychological contract,
Analyze effects of individual characteristics on job performance in relation to group and organizational dynamics,
Deal more effectively with the complexity and uncertainty involved in living and working within organizations.

Course Description

The course provides a strong foundation of research and knowledge on organizational dynamics. After reviewing historical development of management, students will be informed about key individual characteristics affecting key organizational outcomes. Then, these characteristics will be linked to group processes as well as organizational settings. At the end of the course, students will be able to analyze organizations that they are members in and take more effective actions in them.
