Contenuti

This course is designed to provide both theoretical and practical information and insights into human behavior in the workplace. It will draw upon theories and empirical evidence relating to "positive psychology" - of which some leading scholars are Seligman, Achor, Cameron. In doing so, this course aims to analyze the individual aspects and organizational dynamics that facilitate individual growth and development and collaboration in a contest of high uncertainty, multiculturalism and openness to international markets. The architecture of the course is based on the framework developed by Daniel Cable in his book “Alive at Work”, using the recent empirical evidence resulting from the integration between neuroscience and behavioral sciences, we will analyze the factors that have a positive impact on the seek system, which shapes individual behaviors and motivation.
