PMBA 6315 Leading Organizations and Human Resources
Managing organizations and human resources explores the values and psychological underpinnings that explain why people behave the way they do. Special emphasis is placed on how managers can use this information to enhance communication to construct effective teams and to lead others by building relationships based on trust and mutual respect. Emphasis is also placed on understanding the relationship between beliefs, emotions, motivation and behavior with implications for situational leaders in the areas of discipline, managing performance, and employee training, development, and empowerment. Students will build upon their understanding of leading human resources by examining policies related to employee selection, training, retention, promotion, compensation, and labor relations. Finally, students will cross-examine the relationships between law and ethics, ethics and leadership, and leadership and cultivating relationships with employees, customers, and the community.
