This course explores the role of significance in the overall schema of organizational psychology. The significance principle will be examined in the light of current Leadership and Management theory. Research will focus on significance-based transactions and organizational performance, and will integrate research from the discipline of psychology, counseling, and therapy that has been developed in recent years. This course includes analysis of current writings on significance and relationship with munificence, recognition need among followers and leaders, assessment of significance at the organizational level, and cognitive dissonance between linear leadership models and significance-based leadership models.
