ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR COURSE DESCRIPTION/OBJECTIVE Organizational behavior (OB) is an interdisciplinary field drawing from numerous disciplines including psychology, sociology, anthropology, economics, organization theory, statistics, and many others. Effective management of human resources within organizations requires an understanding of various behavior and processes.

This knowledge of individuals' perceptions, motivational attitudes and behavior will enable managers to not only understand themselves better, but also to adopt appropriate managerial policies and leadership styles to increase their effectiveness. INDENTED LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon completion of this course, students should be able to: 1. Understand the components of individual behavior and group behaviors in the organizational context. 2. Understand the relevance of the OB theories and practices, emphasized by Western texts, in local settings. 3. Understand the Islamic perspective of understanding and directing human behaviour towards achievement of goals. 4.
