Credit Unit 1 provides an introduction to the subject of organizational behavior. It begins by providing an overview of human behavior in organizations, the interdisciplinary origins of that behavior, and behavior in changing times. From there it expands into organizational structure and design. Organizational goals are broken into tasks, from which jobs are designed. Jobs are then grouped into departments, which are linked to form organizational structure. This Credit Unit then ties everything together with Module 3 which discusses how organizational cultures affect morale, motivation, group dynamics and individual behaviors. This Credit Unit in summary will show the importance, and relevance, of organizational behavior and design in the role of management.
