Course Description

This seminar focuses on the theoretical foundations necessary for advanced research in organizational behaviour (OB) and organizational theory (OT). Key theories and models will be discussed and contrasted, and empirical support examined. Students will undertake in-depth and critical analyses of the relevant literature, focusing in particular on recent reviews and primary studies published in the top journals in the fields. The overall objectives of this seminar are to provide a fundamental understanding of theoretical frameworks in the OB and OT fields and to develop their abilities to critically assess and conduct research.
