Leerdoelen | This course offers a theoretical and practical orientation to the psychological approach to work and job design, organizations and organizational change, as well as personnel issues and human resource development. The course covers a wide range of topics, such as the impact of individual differences on work-related variables, personnel selection and evaluation, training and development, attitudes and motivation, leadership and power, group dynamics, as well as organizational structure and climate.

Omschrijving | Work-, Organizational, and Personnel Psychology takes a three-pronged approach in understanding how personal, social, and environmental factors are related to people’s attitudes and performance in their work environment. The course will discuss, illustrate and critically evaluate these three main research streams (work, organizational, and personnel psychology). Specific topics include: 1) job and task performance, employee health and well-being (work psychology), 2) employee motivation, leadership and power, as well as group processes, such as cooperation, conflict, and decision making (organizational psychology), and 3) the design and consequences of human resource policies (personnel psychology). | ||||||||||||
