Teaching

We offer an array of courses at all educational levels. Among these are in the spring 2026 the following courses:

Bachelor Students: Business Administration II (Lecture & Exercise – 6 ECTS)

Human Resource Management (HRM) and Organizational Behavior (OB) concern the study of individuals and groups within an organizational context, and the study of internal processes and practices as they affect individuals and groups. The course gradually broadens the level of perspective, starting out with an individual level perspective on, for example, perceptions, personality, attitudes, motivation, and emotions; proceeding to a dyadic and group level perspective on, for example, leadership, and team processes; and culminating in the organizational level perspective on, for example, an organization's climate, culture, and management practice.

Bachelor Students: Emotions in Organizations (Lecture  – 3 ECTS)

Students will discover the important role of emotions in organizations. We study individual emotions, as well as shared emotions at the group-level and at the organizational level, and we will relate these experience to important outcomes for he workplace. The seminar will begin with an interactive session before the regular lecture period to kick off the seminar, learn about the basics of emotions research, and then split up in student groups that will prepare deep dive presentations into specific topics in emotions research. After that first session, the student groups will independently work on their presentations. Once they have done some initial work, we will have a session where the students will receive coaching on their presentations. Afterwards, student groups will independently finalize their presentations. Then, there will be four sessions during which the students will deliver their presentations. We finish with a reflection on the learnings.

Master Students: Leadership Research (Seminar – 3 ECTS)

Students will learn about how leadership research is produced. Students will receive hands-on experience in the research process and learn a mix of content, learning about the current leadership research landscape and how to conduct cutting-edge, rigorous leadership research. We begin by surveying topic areas in leadership research and identifying design and methodological issues. Then, we will focus our attention on designing rigorous research to answer the leadership questions of today (and tomorrow). In addition to practice with design and analytic techniques, students will also develop their academic writing skills in preparation for a Master thesis or other research-related writing.

Doctoral Students: Contemporary Readings on Behavior in Organizations (Seminar – 3 ECTS)

Participants will read, review, and discuss working papers to improve their ability to critically and constructively engage in the scientific writing process. The working papers can range from a first rough draft to papers at an advanced stage in the revise+resubmit process. The working papers will come from the participants, auditors and guests of the seminar themselves, and so students are encouraged to contribute a working paper of their own to our reading list. The seminar relies exclusively on the written word for input - there are no presentations.
