Individual-level psychological processes such as perception, attitudes, individual differences, and personality are analyzed within a managerial context. The course discusses the position of management psychology within the natural and social sciences and emphasizes its multidisciplinary and eclectic structure. The role of contextual factors (organizational and environmental) in shaping human behavior is examined. Furthermore, employees roles within organizations are explored through the resource-based perspective. Contemporary issues such as workplace diversity, types of discrimination (glass ceiling, microaggressions, direct and indirect discrimination), stereotyping, system justification theory, and social dominance theory are analyzed from a scientific perspective. The course also addresses personality theories and typologies, highlighting the impact of individual differences on organizational outcomes. |
