MGMT 544 - Organization Theory & Behavior

3 Credits

Prerequisite(s): None This course is designed to have students understand the clear distinctions between organization behavior and organization theory. The intent is to explain how organizations are structured around critical topics that are relevant for analyzing how employees are led and motivated to perform work. Students learn organizational theories that define the relationships between structure and job design, technology and performance. Employee work behaviors are tied to the socio-technical systems, techno-structural systems, and the job tasks that help to define how work is to be performed. Taken together these topics examine and define how the total organization operates under ideal circumstances.
