Taking an evidence-based approach, this course examines the nature, causes and consequences of pro-social behavior (i.e., “giving”) in organizations.  Focusing on concepts such as organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB), helping and help-seeking, the course will examine the determinants of a giving approach by individuals and as an organizational culture.  It will also examine how the adoption of such an approach can promote individual effectiveness and career success as well enhance the profitability of the firm. A central focus will be on help-seeking: what it is, what promotes and prevents it, and how it plays a key role in driving giving in organizations.
