PSY 368 THE PSYCHOLOGY OF LEADERSHIP
This course focuses on the major theories behind leadership behaviors and how they relate to organizational functioning and performance. More specifically, the course primarily covers the organizational level of leadership, where leaders' behaviors are directed at a larger group of individuals as a means of helping them achieve organizational, team and personal goals. In addition to theoretical background, empirical studies related to leadership concepts will be covered, as will be their practical applications. Complementing these topics are foci on cross-cultural leadership and students' own personal leadership styles and intentions so that they may develop as optimally effective leaders.
