Università Roma Tre

Advanced course in organizational psychology aimed at examining the psychological processes that underlie the organizational dimension in working contexts. More attention will be paid to motivational theories developed within the organizational psychology framework. In addition, the course will focus on the planning of interventions to promote health and organizational wellbeing. During the course will be examined the design process of such interventions: needs analysis, definition of goals, analysis and choice of a theoretical framework, selection of intervention's strategies, implementation and their evaluation. Attention will be paid to the analysis of decision-making processes, the role of emotion in these processes and their regulation. Communication strategies for the promotion of psychosocial change will be examined.
