Synopsis:
This module is about key debates and concepts in SHRM and Organizational Behaviour (OB) and their inter-relationship. OB explores the different ways in which people as individuals and in groups behave in organizations – formally and informally, rationally and
Sunway University Business School MGT5023 Organisational Behaviouemotionally; and the ways in which they are organized, managed and controlled. SHRM explores the theoretical underpinning of the management policies and practices that can be implemented to effectively manage people at work.
