Diploma on

Organisational Behaviour

This Program describes and explains about the behaviour of people in organizations, and provides the knowledge and understanding needed to be a successful and effective supervisor, motivator, leader and manager.

Understanding the principles of human behaviour in organisations is part of being a fully effective manager. These principles apply to all areas of an organisation and to the direction of teams; they apply to managers and supervisors in all sectors of industry, commerce and public service.  The effects on people’s behaviour of policies, rules and decisions need to be understood by supervisors, junior, middle and senior management and directors and business owners.  Organisational performance is reduced if insufficient attention is given to the people which comprise its human resource, so the Program covers human behaviour in organisations and the factors that affect people and their work.  It provides a good understanding of organisations and is for anyone pursuing a career and professional development in a managerial role.
