Positive Psychology and Organisations

This subject explores the application of the positive psychology perspective within organisations, including government, for-profit, not-for-profit, and educational settings. Key social and identity processes that shape people’s behaviours, wellbeing, and performance within the workplace are examined. Organisational culture is explored, and a recognition of the complexities of organisations are identified. Drawing on a range of disciplines, including organisational behaviour, management, leadership development, and positive organisational scholarship, students examine micro and macro approaches to organisational science.
