• The individual at work: approaches to psychological health at work and occupational stress; interpersonal relationships at work (e. g. harassment); group situations at work (e. g. gender, age, disability'); analysis of work activity.
• The individual in the organization: approaches to job satisfaction; justice at work; commitment; perceived organizational support; leadership; organizational dehumanization; tools for observing and analyzing organizational behaviour

Teaching methods

A range of pedagogical methods will be deployed, from the ex-cathedra course to more participatory methods (e.g., serious game, group discussion, etc.) and formative (self-)assessments.

Evaluation methods

The assessment of the course LPSP1204 - Psychology of Work and Organisations is carried out using a QRM consisting of
30 questions with 4 answer options (plus a 5th option: "none of the previous answers are correct") and between 0 and 4 correct answers are expected for each question. One point out of 30 will be awarded if all the correct options are chosen and no incorrect option is chosen. No points will be awarded if there is no answer, or if not all the correct options are chosen, or if one or more incorrect options are chosen. To pass the exam, you must achieve a score of 15/30, which is equivalent to a mark of 10/20. The 1st and 2nd session exams will cover the same content, will have the same format and will be marked in the same way.
