Course aim: The aim of the course is to introduce students to management practice through the lens of psychology. To outline the areas where psychology can be applied and what the role of the psychologist can be. In addition, to highlight the key themes of contemporary management practice, taking into account the potential application of psychology students in the commercial sector.
Course content: learners will gain a psychological insight into the field of management and leadership of people. We will look at the personality of the manager and the demands placed on him/her. We will touch upon the topic of managerial competencies, their diagnosis and development. Furthermore, we will discuss the issues of conducting interviews in practice (in the context of recruitment, evaluation or critique interviews). We will also try out some selected techniques. We will open up a broader view of the manager, or the managerial roles he/she has to play (informational, decision-making, interpersonal). Where the interpersonal role (and the use of psychology in this area) will be discussed in more detail. We will recall that the clinical perspective and the occupational psychological perspective can sometimes be very similar. For at the core is always the person and the concern for them, for their needs. Another key area will be the creation and management of a non-conflicting team (through the High Perfoming Team methodology). Related to this is the topic of motivation and evaluation. We will also look in more detail at the topic of managing and implementing change. One whole lecture will be dedicated to the topic of diversity from different perspectives, including LGBT+ issues in the workplace. Last but not least, we will also look at the manager as a person who is under psychological stress and needs to take proper care of his/her psyche. Both in terms of stress management and prevention of burnout. Last update: Pastyříková Iveta, Mgr. (03.08.2023)
