Learning outcomes

The course aims to provide elements of work and organizational psychology for human resources management. This one should allow companies and enterprises to express themselves both inside their environments (so that goals are reached and a nice and positive organizational climate is created) and outside (so that potential clients or users know what the company or enterprise does and makes and can appreciate their products and services).

Program

SYLLABUS:
The programme of the course will include the following:
1) Introduction to training psychology applied to organisations.
2) Training interventions aimed at improving decision-making processes.
3) Interventions for stress management related to work.
4) Training applied to team-building.
5) Interventions for the development of prosocial organisational behaviour.
6) Interventions of work redesign.
7) Interventions oriented to the diffusion of policies based on diversity management.
8) Intervention techniques based on organisational nudging.
9) Interventions for the management of organisational conflicts.

The educational methods adopted are different for the attendant and non-attendant student, due to the high level of innovation of the literature taken as a reference, which requires a continuous verification of the contents of the course.
For attendant students, the educational method used will be frontal lessons to deliver basic notions; key-categories and fundamental practical instruments. In addition to this, students will be asked to perform the reading of scientific papers, and writing of digital works related to this discipline.
Besides, also thanks to the e-learning platform of the University, we will propose refreshment readings and media related to the topics of the course.
During the first lesson, attendant students will receive the complete calendar of the educational activity provided with the dates and topics of the lessons. Timetable, room and any possible suspension for the Professor's academic reasons will be provided as well.
For non-attendant students, the educational method will be the support provided for by the Professor during his receiving hours.
Moreover, throughout the academic year, the Professor will be available to receive individual students, according to notices published on the website, which are updated continuously.
Further updates will be made available to the students promptly, also through dedicated notices.

DIDACTIC MATERIAL:
The content of textbooks, lessons and exercises fits the programme. Further educational material is available on the e-learning platform.

Examination Methods

ASSESSMENT METHODS AND CRITERIA:
The assessment of learning outcomes involves an oral test and the production of an exam paper to be sent to the teacher before the exam. Exam and didactic methods adopted are different for attendant and non-attendant students, due to the high level of innovation of the literature taken as a reference, which requires a continuous verification of the contents of the course.
For attendant students, the didactic method used will be frontal lessons to deliver basic notions; key-categories and fundamental practical instruments. In addition to this, students will be asked to perform reading of scientific papers, and writing of digital works related to this discipline.
Besides, also thanks to the e-learning platform of the University, we will propose refreshment readings and media related to the topics of the course.
During the first lesson, attendant students will receive the complete calendar of the didactic activity provided with the dates and topics of the lessons. Timetable, room and any possible suspension for the Professor's academic reasons will be provided as well.
For non-attendant students, the didactic method will be the support provided for by the Professor during his receiving hours.
Both modalities require the development of an exam paper to be forwarded to the Professor before the oral test and evaluated as an integral part of the exam. Information on the exam paper (different for attending and non-attending) are published and updated in the notice section of the course.
Moreover, throughout the academic year the Professor will be available to receive individual students, according to the times published on the website, which are constantly updated.
