Description

Gain a strong understanding of the concepts, models and theories related to employee behaviour in an organisation. This course equips you with a scientific understanding of some of the most complex but fascinating aspects of an individual. These can include factors such as personality, motivation, stress mechanisms, decision-making skills, group and team behaviour, power, and politics and influence tactics. A deep understanding of these organisational aspects of employee behaviour helps to facilitate organisational change as well as create a positive organisational culture.

This course addresses these organisational aspects of the behaviour of its employees, including managers. You’ll begin with a focus on the individual and will explore personality, perception, and stress, and will then progress to a range of motivational models.

UniSA Online’s 10-week short courses give you the flexibility to upskill in a certain area, stay current with developments in your field, diversify your knowledge, or even explore a new direction in your career – without having to commit to the time and cost of a full university degree.
