Course Description
The course focuses on the behavior of individuals and groups in diverse organizations and on organizational
structure and processes. Besides, there is heavy emphasis on leadership, change management, team
development and continuous improvement. Managers need to know why people behave as they do in relation
to their jobs, their work groups and their organizations. This knowledge of individuals' perceptions,
motivational attitudes and behaviour will enable managers to not only understand themselves better, but also
to adopt appropriate managerial policies and leadership styles to increase their effectiveness.
The focus of instruction will move progressively through the individual, group and organizational levels of
behaviour and will examine the interrelationships of behavioural phenomena among these levels.
Additionally, concepts such as motivation, communication and leadership and their relevance to
organizational behaviour will be examined in detail. The course will also discuss the Islamic perspective of
understanding and directing human behaviour in a specific direction. Course comprises of didactic lectures,
classroom discussions, assignments, quizzes, case studies and a ‘project’.
