Workplace and Business Psychology

The world has changed forever and terms like “new normal” and “great resignation” are of great concern to both profit-and non-profit organisations.

The pandemic has caused employees to relook at the meaning of life and many are quitting their traditional jobs to look for more meaning work. To retain employees and survive the “great resignation”, organisation leaders must become more in tune with what employees want and reimage work processes that are attractive to their employees. Understanding the psychology of their workforce and catering to the well-being of their employees would be important considerations under the “new normal”.

HKU SPACE is a pioneer in workplace psychology and well-being and some of our courses include Postgraduate Diploma in Human Resource Management and Business Psychology; Advanced Diploma in Human Resource Management and Workplace Psychology and short courses such as Certificate for Module (The Psychology of People, Work and the Organisation); Certificate for Module (The Psychology of Motivation, Leadership and Employee Well-being) and Certificate for Module (Employee Engagement and Communication Skills).

The success of an organisation is highly dependent on its people. Yet there is no “one-size fit all” strategy for managing people. This is because each person is an individual, with a distinctive personality that influences the way one thinks and acts.
 
This programme aims to equip students with the fundamentals of an individual’s psychology (personality, learning, perception & memory) and examines why behaviours often change in group settings. It also discusses factors that may affect an organisation – power, politics, ethics, conflicts and organisational culture, as well as the psychological impact of change on employees and the importance of managing such change in an organisation.
