Organizational Behavior and Management هذه الدورة تدرس باللغة الإنجليزية

تفاصيل الدورة

Organizational behavior is an academic discipline concerned with describing, understanding, predicting, and controlling human behavior in an organizational environment. Organizational behavior has evolved from early classical management theories into a complex school of thought—and it continues to change in response to the dynamic environment and proliferating corporate cultures in which today's businesses operate.

Organizational behavior scientists study four primary areas of behavioral science: individual behavior, group behavior, organizational structure, and organizational processes. This course shall focus on the understanding of the effect of abilities, learning, values, personality, attitudes, & motivation on the individual behavior within the organization.

This workshop capitalizes on the OB theories and concepts to equip you with practical tools to understand, predict and shape the behavior of your team members and the people around you. You will learn skills that will ultimately improve your team's productivity and job satisfaction while reducing negative behaviors like turnover and absenteeism.
