Organizational Behavior: Where Psychology Meets Business

“Organizational behavior” is a field that blends business with psychology, sociology, and even elements of anthropology. But the core of the science is understanding the human experience of the workplace. Professors Jessica Siegel Christian and Michael Christian, both of the Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, join Palisades Hudson’s Senior VP/CIO Ben Sullivan for an exploration of how organizational behavior can illuminate how we behave at work. From how sleep deprivation affects ethical decision-making, to strategies for avoiding groupthink, to the ways that Luke Skywalker can help you find meaning in your work life (and beyond), this wide-ranging conversation illustrates that understanding people is key to career success.
