MODULE 2MODULE 2

Organisational Behaviour on Projects

Introduction

Every project encounters di�culties at some stage. However, when project managers know the

strengths and weaknesses of their team members, they are able to address and resolve emerging

team problems/con�icts as they arise. This allows for the building of inclusive teams that have

mutual respect for each other. Managing those teams to be high performing does not happen by

chance; it takes e�ort to develop a circle of trust around the team. The Learning Resources explore

organisational and managerial processes in the context of teams and focus primarily with the

human implications of project-based activity.

In this module, you critically examine the theory of organisational behaviour. You are also given

real-world examples and asked to re�ect on your own experiences in order to help you interpret

and manage organisational behaviour through leadership.

At the end of this module, you will submit your analysis (initiated in Module 1) of a case study that

includes an examination of appropriate uses of leadership and power strategies to e�ectively

manage project teams.

This Module will cover:

Organisational behaviour as it relates to the management of projects and project teams

Sources of in�uence

The in�uence of power on project success

Challenges work environments faced by project teams

This Module will help you:

Apply concepts of organisational behaviour to the management of project teams

Apply the concepts of managerial power to project success

Apply leadership styles to the management of project teams
