Undergraduate Research Seminar in Organizational Behavior

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This seminar offers an overview of theory and research in the field of management, with a focus on organizational behavior. Organizational behavior seeks to understand, explain, and improve employees' thoughts, feelings, and behavior. The primary aim is to offer students an initial understanding of the foundations of research in the field of management, and to provide students with an overview of the different components of a research paper in the field. By the end of this seminar, students will leave with answers to two questions: 1) How should I think about research in management? and 2) How could I conduct good research in management? The structure of the seminar mirrors that of a doctoral seminar (no lectures), with roundtable discussions of the research process and the academic career, as well as student-led discussions on academic readings.
