Omschrijving	To understand issues concerning human behavior in organizations, it is important to move beyond common sense understanding of human conduct. It is also essential to understand one’s own role in affecting behavior in organizations, and to understand the cultural context in which behavior takes place. We first examine individual psychological processes and consider personality, attitudes, values, emotion, perception and motivation. How do we perceive the world and other people, and which biases may play a role? How can individuals be motivated to perform well? We next concentrate on group behavior and social processes. How are groups formed, and how do groups affect individual behavior? How can we create a team that functions well? Finally, we examine organizational processes, including leadership, power, culture, and organizational change. Throughout the course, special attention is devoted to international and intercultural issues. The textbook and some additional readings (information is given during tutorials) provide the background for the tutorials, and this material should consequently be read in advance of each tutorial. Weekly presentations and discussions during tutorials. In addition, participation in scientific research (1 hour) is compulsory.
