How much psychology is involved in organisational behaviour modules?
Psychology can form a substantial part of organisational behaviour, especially in topics such as motivation, personality, perception, attitudes, group dynamics, leadership and decision-making. However, the subject is usually broader than psychology alone, also drawing on management, sociology and related fields to examine people and organisations at work.
Key points
- You may study psychological theories and apply them to workplace behaviour and organisational problems.
- Assessment can involve case studies, research evidence, essays, exams or applied projects, depending on the module.
- Some modules are more psychology-focused, while others place greater emphasis on management, teams, culture or organisational systems.
Things to check
- The balance of psychology depends on the university, programme, module title and academic year, so check the official module description and reading list for precise coverage.
