Advanced seminar: Organizational research methods

Work and organizational psychology (W/OP) is concerned with the development and application of scientific principles to the workplace. During the course student will learn about theories and ideas about how people think, feel, and act in work (brief summary). We will focus on some of the tools W/O psychologists use to understand attitudes towards work and organization, and how these attitudes influence workers’ behavior. We will also discuss the relevance of psychological research findings for HRM practice.
