The fundamental objective of the PhD specialization in Organizational Behaviour is to train world-class researchers in this field. The term "organizational behavior" refers to a collection of theory and research that focuses on individual and group attitudes, cognitions and behaviours in organizations.
The Faculty in the Area represent a mix of researchers from a variety of backgrounds. Some take a more cognitive, others a more practice-oriented approach in their research. All strive toward development of greater understanding of personal, interpersonal and organizational processes and thoughtful examination of issues that influence the management of people in complex and evolving organizations.
