Course Description Individuals spend a significant portion of their lives working with others in organizations. The goal of this course is to provide students with knowledge and skills to effectively manage themselves and others in organizational settings. To that end, students learn theories that explain and predict human behaviour, in the context of organizations, and apply these theories through individual and group activities.
Course Objectives By the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Understand and explain organizational behaviour theories related to individuals and groups
- Apply these concepts by identifying problems, evaluating alternatives, and implementing solutions to situations drawn from case studies, their own experience, and events in the news
- Identify and evaluate management and leadership responsibilities and behaviours
- Lead and participate in group projects in a way that ensures all members respect and value diversity and engage collaboratively with each other to accomplish the required task
- Explain and defend situational analysis, supporting evidence, arguments, and recommendations via clearly written reports and presentations.
- Reflect upon their own behaviour, and that of others, in a manner consistent with ethically, culturally, and socially responsible decision making

Teaching Methodology and Classroom Expectations I look forward to exploring the topic of organizational behaviour with you in this course. To bring these concepts to life I will augment lectures and readings with case study discussions, presentations, role playing, and the sharing of personal experience from my 30 years in business. The topic of organizational behaviour provides a great opport unity to stretch your interpretive and creative skills, and to deal with contextual as well as individual and group level dynamics. To engage in this level of conversation, and to ensure a positive, fun, and productive learning experience for everyone, I expect the following of myself and also of you as students.
- To prepare effectively by reading, thinking, and writing about the assigned readings, case studies, or other assigned work BEFORE class
- To participate actively in the learning process by sharing your ideas, experiences, and questions
- To demonstrate respect for the ideas, experiences, and perspectives of others
- To set and live up to high rather than minimal standards in all the above
I encourage your feedback regarding the course content and learning experience as the term progresses and will periodically encourage a discussion of same when we meet.
OWL Site and Course Schedule An OWL site for MOS2181B Section 570 will be available in early January. The final class schedule and dates for all assignments will be available on the OWL stie.
Evaluation Your evaluation will be based on class participation, two individual writing assignments, a group presentation, and final exam. All individual papers must be written by you and will be subject to review by Turnitin. Note that I am required to report any suspicion of plagiarism.
All the required evaluation components must be completed for you to pass the course. Be sure to take all assignments seriously there are no make ups later in the course if you are dissatisfied with your grade on earlier work. To be clear, reweighting, substitution of other work, or additional bonus assignments will not be permitted. See the detailed schedule on our course OWL site for due dates and plan your time accordingly to balance your commitment to this and other courses.
Class participation 20%
Individual reflection paper 15%
Individual case report 15%
Group presentation 30%
Final Exam 20%
If you are concerned about your understanding of any of the following or your ongoing performance please speak with me for clarification or assistance. I encourage you to email or meet with me whenever you have questions or concerns about the assigned course work, your progress in the course, or to share early ideas for your individual or group assignments. Do not leave it to the end of the course to realize that you are not performing as well as you would like.
Class Participation ( 20 %) The percent of your grade assigned to active in-class participation reflects the importance of discussion and debate in learning and applying the concepts of this course. Specifically, you are expected to attend all classes when they are scheduled; be prepared to contribute to your own learning and that of your fellow students by doing the assigned readings and thinking about the pre-assigned questions or case studies before class; asking questions during class for clarification; volunteering your opinions and reasoned arguments during class discussions; and actively participating in group break-out exercises. Note that attendance is required to earn participation marks and to qualify to write the final exam. However, marks for participation are not awarded for attendance, only for participation in the class discussion and for taking a leadership role in group breakout sessions during class. I will explain more in our opening class.
You can find the weekly homework and class assignments posted on our OWL site under the tab Weekly Assignments. I encourage you to review my slide deck before class, as I embed questions for discussion that you may want to think about so you can be an active participant in class. Along with voluntary participation, I reserve the right to call on you for your ideas and opinions at any time.
Individual Reflection Paper ( 15 %) (See course schedule for topic and due date)
My goal for the individual reflection paper is to help you to develop the analytical and writing skills you will need in higher level courses and the workplace. The assignment requires you to reflect on a personal incident of relevance to you using the theoretical concepts from one of the topics covered in class. Papers should be a maximum of four (4) pages. Full details on the assignment and report format will be posted on OWL and discussed in class. Pay close attention to these instructions as marks will be deducted for violating the format requirements.
Late assignments will have one mark subtracted for each day late. For instance, if you receive a grade of 12/15, but are two days late, your grade will be 10 /15. This assignment must be submitted to pass the course. Hence, you must submit this paper even if late penalties mean that you will receive a grade of zero.
Individual Case Report (1 5 %) (See course schedule for the case assignment and due date) My goals for this assignment are: (1) to develop your case analysis skills and (2) to establish expectations for case study preparation in this class and higher-level courses at Kings. Students will submit their own analysis of the case. Papers should be a maximum of four ( 4 ) pages. Full details on the assignment and report format will be posted on OWL and discussed in class. Pay close attention to these instructions as marks will be deducted for violating the format requirements.
Note: Because we will discuss this case in class, I will not accept late papers on the same topic. Instead, I will post a different (and likely more difficult) assignment immediately after class that already includes a 3 – mark penalty, i.e., the maximum you can earn is 12/15. This make-up assignment, with a new due date, will have one mark subtracted for each 24 – hour delay in your submission. For instance, if you receive a grade of 10/15, but are two days late, your grade will be 8 /15. Note that all required assignments, including this one, must be completed to pass the course. In other words, you must complete this assignment even if the late penalties mean that you will receive a grade of zero for your work. Group Presentations ( 30 %)(See course schedule for due dates) The assignment: The goal of this project is for you to apply the concepts weve learned to a real-world situation of your own choosing, to develop your group work skills, to learn how to invite and accept feedback on your early ideas, and to apply that feedback as your project progresses from early ideas to final presentation.
Your group assignment is to find an incident or event or situation in the news or through personal experience to which you can apply two or three of the major topics that we cover in the course. For instance, you might choose to apply the concepts of leadership, decision making, and communication or the concepts of attitudes toward work and motivation. The topics you choose will depend on the situation or event you decide to study. The goal for the project is to go deep on a few concepts, not to just breeze through a superficial application of too many concepts. Please contact me in class or via email if you would like informal feedback about the incident / event / situation you have in mind.
You will use these concepts to: (i) explain what happened or is happening in the incident or event, and (ii) what actions the organizational leaders or other individuals involved in the incident could have done differently at the time to deliver a better process or achieve a better outcome, or what they should do now to improve the process or outcome. How you address this part of the assignment will depend on the topic / issue / event that you choose.
Groups: I will assign you to a group of approximately six people early in the semester. You will be given the opportunity to meet and work with your group members during in-class exercises. However, that vast majority of your group work will be done outside of class. The most successful groups are those that develop a good work plan, and a way to communicate and work together throughout the project.
NOTE: All members of the group will receive the same grade. It is your job to work respectfully and collaboratively on the required tasks. Groups should try to address concerns about poor contribution by group members internally. However, should problems arise that cannot be resolved by the group, I am more than willing to assist if these issues are raised at least two weeks before your final presentation, so the group member or members have a chance to improve their contribution to the final presentation.
Deliverables:
- Project outline (10%): You must submit an outline (by the due date on our class schedule) that includes a maximum two-page summary that includes: a description of the incident of interest, the organizational concepts you will apply and why they are appropriate, and a table summarizing the tasks assigned to each group member. A bullet point summary is fine. As always, Times New Roman, 12-point font, double spaced, with 2.54 cm (1-inch margins). Use additional pages (page 3 and onward) to list the proposed bibliography of the sources of information about the incident that you will use. You will need to include 10 references in your final bibliography. Include a title page with your project title, section number, group number and the names of all your group members.
After Ive had a chance to review the outline and give written feedback, I will book a time to meet
with your group to review the outline. This should not be a problem as I have assigned regularly
scheduled class time for these meetings. The purpose of this meeting is to make sure youre on track
to do the best job you can do. I will provide feedback to you and you can ask me any questions you
might have. Some projects take quite a different turn after this consultation and that is fine! Please
consult OWL for more detailed tips and suggestions on issues to consider when preparing your
outline and final presentation.
- Final Presentation (20%): Each group will make a live 15 – minute presentation to the class, followed by a brief question period. This is a great time to practice these skills early in your career at Kings, so all group members should be involved. Note that students who are absent for their groups presentation will not share in their groups grade and will receive a zero grade on the presentation. I will randomly draw group numbers in advance so you know which groups will present on which date. On the day that your group is NOT presenting, you will be expected to provide brief, individual written feedback on the presentations done by the other groups.
You must submit your Power Point slides and speaking notes (including your final list of at least ten
references) by NOON on the day BEFORE your presentation. You can submit your speaking notes
in the notes section of your PPT slides or as a separate Word document. Bullet point speaking notes
are fine, the goal is to give me a more fulsome idea of your analysis and recommendations without
requiring you to clutter up your presentation slides with too many words. You do not need to read
these notes verbatim during your presentation. In fact, reading from a script can be a detriment to
your presentation if it keeps you from engaging with your audience. I will use your slides and notes
to prepare questions for your presentation. (I use APA reference format, but if you use another for
other work here at Kings thats fine.) Include the names and student numbers, in alphabetical order
by last name, for all group members, on your cover page.
Evaluation: I will evaluate your final presentation as an employer would evaluate a report from an employee or consultant, based on the following points.
- A brief, clear description of the incident and actors involved (I suggest one or two slides maximum in your presentation.) (2 / 20 marks)
- The appropriate choice and application of OB topics to explain the incident and your recommendations to move it forward or to handle something similar in a more successful way in the future. This is very much like the personal reflection papers.(10 / 20 marks)
- Your presentation style and skills (clarity of speaking, posture, visual/audio aids, pace, etc.) and how well you handle the question period. (8 / 20 marks)
Final Exam ( 2 0%) The exam may include short answer questions based on news items, hypothetical situations, or case studies. You will be expected to use the concepts learned in the course to answer the assigned questions. The date can be found in the exam schedule once it is published. Further detail regarding the format will be available as the semester progresses.
