Bachelor of Science in Psychology Organizational Behavior Concentration (Program delivered via Virtual Campus) The study of organizational behavior examines workplace issues that impact individuals, groups, and organizations. The psychology of organizational behavior examines issues such as developing human talent and resources, consulting, coaching and mentoring, creating learning organizations, dealing with change, promoting organizational improvements, and fostering personal growth and professional success. The fields of business, management, leadership, labor and industrial relations, ergonomics, physiology and medicine, and law help identify the many factors that influence organizations. Tools such as assessment, intervention, consultation, and evaluation help researchers better understand organizational behavior. Managers and leaders in government, community, business, industrial, health, educational, consulting, labor, research and other work-related organizations regularly utilize organizational behavior information. The goal of organizational behavior studies is to better understand the changing nature of the workplace and apply that information to organizations. The success of your organization doesnt depend on your understanding of economics, or organizational development, or marketing. It depends, quite simply, on your understanding of human psychology: how each individual employee connects with your company and how each individual employee connects with your customers. from Follow this Path, How the Worlds Greatest Organizations Drive Growth, Coffman and Gonzalez-Molina, Warner Books, 2002 Program Outcomes :
