Studies in Psychology of Organization Development
Organizations are products of human activities. They can be highly developed but can also be fragile and easily destroyed or can self-destroy. Since organizational dynamics work beyond the power of the individual, individuals often feel a sense of helplessness in the face of organizational change or they neglect preparing for the dynamic process associated with change. The aim of this course is to search for new ways of developing creative organizations in line with individual growth through scrutinizing methods and techniques of coaching and consultation for business executives and through the use of organizational development workshops.
