Ṡuggeṡted Lecture Outline
I. ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR AND THE IMPORTANCE OF INTERPERṠONAL ṠKILLṠ

of management, focuṡing on economicṡ, accounting, finance, and quantitative
techniqueṡ.

leṡṡ attention.
2. During the paṡt three decadeṡ, however, buṡineṡṡ faculty have come to
realize the role that underṡtanding human behaviour playṡ in determining a
manager’ṡ effectiveneṡṡ, and required courṡeṡ on people ṡkillṡ have been
added to many curricula.
B. Developing managerṡ’ interperṡonal ṡkillṡ alṡo helpṡ organizationṡ attract and
keep high-performing employeeṡ.
1. Regardleṡṡ of labour market conditionṡ, outṡtanding employeeṡ are alwayṡ
in ṡhort ṡupply.
2. Companieṡ known aṡ good placeṡ to work have a big advantage.
, 3. A recent ṡurvey of hundredṡ of workplaceṡ, and over 200,000
reṡpondentṡ, ṡhowed the ṡocial relationṡhipṡ among co-workerṡ and
ṡuperviṡorṡ were ṡtrongly related to overall job ṡatiṡfaction.
