The syllabus will highlight the changes that have occurred in the organization of work and the effects that these changes have had on organizational, individual and collective behaviors. The main theoretical approaches and some of the current issues in the psychological analysis of the organizations will be presented. Areas of application of this knowledge will also be identified to promote the efficiency of the organizations. The course deals with two thematic modules: an introductory part on concepts and methods in organizational psychology and a second part on the current topics in organizational psychology. In the first part, methodological elements will be examined, to show different ways of conducting organizational diagnosis and interventions to produce organizational change. Topics such as the relationship between new technologies and organizations, organizational change, organizational climate and cultures, and organizational socialization will be studied in depth. In the second part, theoretical tools and intervention methodologies will be provided on topics such as ergonomic work analysis, leadership and motivation, and organizational justice. An in-depth analysis will be dedicated to the topic of the aging workforce in organizations.
