Organisational Behaviour (OB) is the study of how individuals and groups behave within organisations, and how this behaviour affects organisational outcomes. Keeping this definition in mind, this course explores many possible answers to the question: Why do people behave the way they do? Using a three-tiered approach to inquiry, we examine individual behaviour, then group and team dynamics, before transitioning to organisational-level behaviour. Along the way, you will engage with key concepts and theoretical perspectives—such as individual differences, motivation, teamwork, communication, leadership, and organisational change—and consider how these ideas apply to your own development and future career.  

This course aims to equip you with a strong foundation for understanding and navigating people-related challenges at work, as well as opportunities to make choices about how you demonstrate your learning and collaborate with peers. These experiences are designed to support your development as a more confident and reflective learner, capable of applying OB concepts in practical, real-world contexts.
