COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course provides a managerial perspective on leadership in formal organizations.  Emphasis is placed on understanding the differences between Leadership and Management in areas that include: definition, communication, team building, exercising influence, decision-making, and conflict management. It will include an overview of the history of Leadership, how to distinguish Managerial vs. Leadership practices, when and how to use both effectively, and the ethical and cultural issues leaders face in today’s work place.    Prerequisite:  MANA 3318

This is an advanced course in human resource management that covers the major policies, techniques and procedures associated with the compensation and benefits functions.  This will include issues related to wage levels and external equity, job evaluation and internal equity, and individual pay equity.   An overview of benefits in the organization will consider issues such as benefit costs, health care, retirement programs, savings programs, and paid time off.   

In addition to learning the theory and topics of compensation and benefit practices through readings and classroom lecture, this course will require you to participate and model some of the situations. 

This is an advanced graduate course that explores the fundamental principles of effective leadership. There are many different aspects of leadership such as an individual’s personality, skills, experience, personal integrity, coaching others, and environmental considerations (to name just a few).  Strength-based leadership means that an individual should seek to understand his/her own strengths (and challenges) and with this understanding, find his/her own, unique leadership approach. Part of this journey is an intense inward examination of one’s own strengths and challenges.  Another part involves observing successful leaders and identifying what their strengths (and perhaps weaknesses) are and how these individuals have used these strengths to become leaders.  To this end, we will examine a number of relevant topics that reflect key issues to understanding effective leadership from both a personal perspective and an outward-oriented perspective.

The primary purpose of this course is to provide an overview and in-depth study of training and development in organizations, facilitating both knowledge and skill acquisition.  Specific topics to be discussed include needs assessment, learning and transfer, various training methods, training evaluation, and employee development.  Coverage of these topics will emphasize a systematic and scientific perspective while stressing an appreciation for the context in which training and development activities occur (e.g., other HRM functions, business strategy and organizational politics, the legal arena, and broader societal concerns such as fairness and equal access).  Particular emphasis will be placed on the knowledge and skills necessary for professional training and development activities.

After completing this course, students should be able to do the following: 

1. Describe the steps involved in a thorough needs analysis and conduct such a needs analysis as a professional organizational training and development specialist.  The results of these needs analysis must be sufficient to drive development of a training module.

2. Discuss specific learning theories including reinforcement theory, social learning theory, goal theories, adult learning theory and information processing theory. Recall these theories with enough accuracy to pass quiz and exam.

3. Describe characteristics of the training environment that facilitate transfer.  Demonstrate understanding of these characteristics in the development of a training module.

4. Describe a variety of outcomes that can be examined in training evaluation. Conduct evaluation of training module.

5. Describe the pros and cons of various training methods including lecture, audio-visual techniques, on-the-job training, self-directed learning, apprenticeship, simulations, case studies, business games, role plays, behavior modeling, experiential learning, adventure learning, action learning, and e-learning.  Demonstrate appropriate use of these methods in the implementation of training module.  Recall these methods with enough accuracy to pass quizzes and exam.

This is an advanced course in human resource management that covers the acquisition, deployment, assessment and retention of an organization’s workforce.  Basic knowledge of human resources, organizational behavior, and business statistics is required.  Class material covers recruitment strategies, methods of selection, development and validation of selection and employee appraisal instruments, and implementation of performance management processes. 

In addition to learning the theory and topics of human resource management through readings and classroom lecture, this course will require you to participate and model some of the situations and behaviors we will discuss in class including interviewing and conducting performance evaluations. 

The approach of the course will be practical guidance for making staffing and management decisions in organizations based on explanatory theory and scientific research.  The course material is not only useful for working in human resource departments.  At some point in your career, your ability to succeed is likely to depend on your ability to recruit and evaluate others.  Ultimately, the tools and skills developed in this course should help you become more effective contributors to organizations.
