The main three important elements that we see here in this course is that of number one individuals, number two groups and thirdly the structure. It basically comprises organizational behavior management and it is a course that we will discover the management functions such as planning, organizing, staffing and controlling. So we will be discussing organizational behavior and the various aspects that impact the behavior of individuals in an organization. Now when we talk about an organization it might be referring to any commercial or any industrial, any educational or any form of institute where human resources are employed. Therefore it is a commercial organization in which individuals from various cultural background from different psychological perspectives and behavioral aspects all combined together come and work in a particular organization. Therefore since there is a lot of variance and a lot of diversity in an organization the behavior that we see on the part of every individual that ultimately comprises of groups and different sections and departments in the organization we will be able to understand how the individual dynamics and group dynamics work in an organization. Organizational behavior is the study of both groups and individuals performance and activity within an organization. This area of study in the course of exam will be mainly focusing on human behavior in a work environment and determines its impact on job structure, performance, communication, motivation, leadership and other dynamics. So this course has a total of 15 units that is divided into block one and block two. The block one firstly focuses on the introductory concepts of organizational behavior and management.

In the block two we will see that it concentrates on human resource management, industrial relations, leadership aspects, labor laws, power, politics, conflict management and stress and also how occupational social work is important in the workplace. Now a question might come to you that why this paper on organizational behavior and human resource management which is also part of many bachelor of management and also masters of business administration courses why would be this course an important aspect in the bachelor of social work or social work curriculum. Now let me tell you that social work in the workplace or occupational social work is gaining its importance in today's world. We see a lot of cases of rising stress, workload and also understanding industrial conflict dynamics and other aspects and also when we talked about diversity in the workplace. So in the social work perspective when it has been felt in today's era that the role of a social worker, the role of a counselor is very important in the organizations or in the workplace. Therefore this course is an important one for the curriculum of social work that will help you to have an in-depth understanding about why social work in the workplace or occupational social work is important here.

So in the unit in the block one unit one is named as introduction to organizational behavior, unit two is organizational management, unit three personality and perception, unit four individuals and groups in organizations, unit five dynamics of organization, unit six group and team and unit seven organizational change and number eight leadership.

Effective leadership is an important part of how who is leading the organization. So therefore who is leading the organization and what kind of leadership is being followed in an organization is very important. Therefore these are the main units that will discuss these different perspectives. Power dynamics is an important aspect that here we see which also you can see as an important cause of conflict in an organization. Therefore these elements have to be understood in an in-depth way. Next in the block two, this block two is mainly talks about human resource management perspectives where we see human resource as an important element or important resource of the organization. There are other resources like capital and other important resources but human resource is said to be one of the important resources or is said to be the backbone of any organization.

Industrial relations mainly talks about the relation between the employees, the employers and also intra-organizational relations that exist in the commercial world. So here industrial relations is important because it helps you to understand the conflict, the cooperation and the different stakeholders of an organization what kind of relationships exist between them for the smooth functioning of the organization that is covered in the aspect of industrial relations or commonly known as IR. So there are different techniques like collective bargaining and various other techniques to bring about cooperation among the employers, employees and to have a smooth functioning of the organization. The 14th unit talks about labor laws or labor legislations like factories act, the ESI act and others. Labor laws here this unit mainly focuses on why labor legislation is important.
