This subject presents a contextual approach to organisational psychology encompassing
both theoretical roots and their application to the workplace. The psychology of behaviour
in organisations is explored at descriptive and analytic levels and linked to its
use in intervention. Topics range from understanding the impact of context on organisations,
managing change and organisation development to specifics such as criterion development,
job analysis, performance appraisal, staff selection and management. Both lectures
and tutorials will be interactive. This subject draws heavily on the social psychological
approach to understanding organisations, but explores an area of psychology which
may be viewed as being more applied than pure. As such, in addition to presenting
a sound introduction for students interested in specialising in organisational psychology
or human resource management fields, it provides insight into how organisations function.
This insight can be useful for any employee.
Learning Outcomes
- explain the purpose, scope, and theoretical principles of organisational psychology;
