| Omschrijving | In today's business environment, companies are faced with increasing demands in terms of flexibility, innovation capacity, and product quality. Employees and their performance potentials represent a crucial resource to meet these challenges. Human performance in organizations hinges on various individual and contextual features, however, and companies need to effectively manage such features to be successful in the long-run. This class will, therefore, discuss both individual determinants (e.g., cognitive ability, personality, job design, emotional intelligence) and contextual determinants (e.g., leadership, team processes, organizational structure and strategy, work organization) of human performance. Utilizing an applied, design-oriented perspective, it will outline approaches to assess and analyze such determinants and to influence them through organizational interventions. The class will combine lecturing elements with various assignments to promote students' understanding of the concepts discussed. Also, student teams will analyze an actual business unit to apply the class contents in real-world settings. A one-day interviewing workshop is part of the course, enabling students to learn and practice the skills they need to successfully complete this project. And finally, self-assessments and tests will be used to stimulate students' self-reflection. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
