Assessment Description
In Weeks One to Three you have been exposed to a range of content exploring a model of organisational behaviour and how it is analysed at the individual, group and organisational level.
You have reviewed the disciplines that have influenced the way we try to explain why people behave the way they do.
For this video presentation you are required to select one discipline from either:
• Psychology

And discuss how the selected discipline has contributed to the development of organisational behaviour. Your presentation should address the following:
1. A summary of your selected discipline outlining the core theoretical principles and how they are applied to organisational behaviour
2. Two key points on how the discipline has contributed to organisational behaviour
3. The benefits you feel the selected discipline has made to your own understanding
