Program Learning Outcome 7: Identify the major forces influencing human behavior at work.

Scenario:

In today's business environment, the most important department is the Human Resource (HR) Department. Having said that, the human resource department has a major impact on influencing human behavior in the workplace. It comprises many elements of responsibilities; employee development, retention and attrition, performance reviews, harassment, EEOC, diversity in the workplace, government regulations and policies affecting behavior at work, and many others.

In addition, the responsibilities may include the human resource department to play an influential role in human behavior throughout the entire workplace, even if it is an international organization. The forces that do influence human behavior may be national and international and the human resource department is to be aware of country laws, cultures, and policies and practices within those countries.
