Interpersonal and Group Dynamics in Organizations: Identity, Influence, and Culture

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

This doctoral seminar investigates how individuals interact within organizations and how these interactions are shaped by social, relational, and structural contexts. Drawing psychology, sociology, and organizational behavior, the course explores foundational topics such as social identity, power, influence, conflict, justice, and moral reasoning. It examines how interpersonal relationships and group processes—such as persuasion, leadership, negotiation, and cultural norms—affect organizational outcomes. Students engage deeply with theories of social identity and self-categorization, social exchange, moral psychology, job design, and organizational culture, while also exploring how employees learn, develop, and adapt over time. Special emphasis is placed on relational dynamics, cross-cultural differences, and ethical challenges in organizational life. The course connects micro-level individual behavior with meso-level group and organizational processes.
