WHAT IS THE UNIT ABOUT?
Unit description
Organisational Behaviour (OB) is the study of human behaviour at the individual,
group and organisational level. The primary purpose of this unit is to improve the
management of organisations through the development of knowledge of human
behaviour. To do this, managers must be able to understand the behaviour of others
and attempt to predict and influence it. It is hoped that, through your active
participation in this unit, you will gain an appreciation of organisational behaviour as
a field of study, which can be used in the effective management of people and
organisations.
Organisational Behaviour is a field of study that draws upon a diverse range of
disciplines (including psychology, social psychology, sociology, anthropology, political
science and economics) for a systematic and integrated approach to the study of
human behaviour. While its concepts, theories and understandings about human
behaviour draw upon these disciplines, Organisational Behaviour is unique in that it
takes an integrated and contingency approach to management, has an applied focus,
and rests on scientific foundations.

Intended Learning Outcomes
On completion of this unit, you will be able to:
 1.   understand and explain the complexity of key individual, group and
      organisational level influences on human behaviour in organisations.
 2.   knowledge of theories, concepts and models in organisational behaviour and the
      ability to apply them critically and creatively to topical issues.
 3.   apply current theory and practice to personal workplace experience.
 4.   to effectively communicate organisational behaviour theory and practice.

      culturally competent citizens in local, national, and global society.
      University of Tasmania graduates acquire subject and multidisciplinary
      knowledge and skills, and develop critical and creative literacies and
      numeracies and skills of inquiry. They demonstrate the ability to apply
      this knowledge in changing circumstances. Our graduates recognise and
      critically evaluate issues of social responsibility, ethical conduct and
      sustainability, are entrepreneurial and creative, and are mindful of their
      own wellbeing and that of the community. Through respect for diversity

How your final result is determined
To pass this unit, you need to demonstrate your attainment of each of the Intended
Learning Outcomes.
Your grade will be determined in the following way:
Your overall mark in this unit will be determined by combining your results from each
assessment task. These marks are combined to reflect the percentage weighting of
each task. You need to achieve an overall score of at least 50% to successfully complete
this unit. It is expected that you will seek help (from the unit coordinator in the first
instance), well before the due date, if you are unclear about the requirements for an
assessment task.
- PP (pass) at least 50% of the overall mark but less than 60%
- CR (credit) at least 60% of the overall mark but less than 70%
- DN (distinction) at least 70% of the overall mark but less than 80%
- HD (high distinction) at least 80% of the overall mark
All grades are provisional, until confirmation by the Assessment Board at the end of
semester.

Submission of assignments
The act of submitting your assignment will be taken as certification that it is your own
work.
Assignments must be submitted electronically through the relevant assignment tab in
MyLO. You must ensure that your name, student ID, unit code, tutorial time and
tutor’s name (if applicable) are clearly marked on the first page. If this information is
missing, the assignment will not be accepted and, therefore, will not be marked.

                                             Page 6                BMA547 Organisational
                                                                              Behaviour
Where relevant, Unit Coordinators may also request you to submit a paper version of
your assignment. You will be advised by the Unit Coordinator of the appropriate
process relevant to your campus.
Please remember that you are responsible for lodging your assessment items on or
before the due date and time. We suggest you keep a copy. Even in a perfect system,
items sometimes go astray.

Requests for extensions
In this Policy:
1.   (a) ‘day’ or ‘days’ includes all calendar days, including weekends and public
         holidays;
     (b) ‘late’ means after the due date and time; and
     (c) ‘assessment items’ includes all internal non-examination based forms of
         assessment
2.   This Policy applies to all students enrolled in TSBE Units at whatever Campus or
     geographical location.
3.   Students are expected to submit assessment items on or before the due date and
     time specified in the relevant Unit Outline. The onus is on the student to prove
     the date and time of submission.
4. Students who have a medical condition or special circumstances may apply for an
   extension. Requests for extensions should, where possible, be made in writing to
   the Unit Coordinator on or before the due date. Students will need to provide
   independent supporting documentation to substantiate their claims.

Penalties
Late submission of assessment items will incur a penalty of 10% of the total marks
possible for that piece of assessment for each day the assessment item is late unless an
extension had been granted on or before the relevant due date.
Assessment items submitted more than five (5) days late will not be accepted.
Academic staff do NOT have the discretion to waive a late penalty, subject to clause 4
above.

Review of results and appeals
Review of Assessment is available to all students once the University has released the
final result for a unit. If you are dissatisfied with your final result, you may apply to
have it reviewed. Applications for a review of assessment are due within 10 working
days of the release of the final result in the unit. When applying for a review, you must
pay a $50 fee.

If you wish to have a piece of internal assessment reviewed as part of the review
process, please state this clearly on the application form referred to above and include
that assessment item with your application.
Please read and follow the directions provided by the University at:

Academic referencing
In your written work you will need to support your ideas by referring to scholarly
literature, works of art and/or inventions. It is important that you understand how to
correctly refer to the work of others, and how to maintain academic integrity.
The University library provides information on presentation of assignments, including
referencing styles and should be referred to when completing tasks in this unit.
Please read the following statement on plagiarism. Should you require clarification
please see your unit coordinator or lecturer.

      Plagiarism
      Plagiarism is a form of cheating. It is taking and using someone else's
      thoughts, writings or inventions and representing them as your own; for
      example, using an author's words without putting them in quotation
      marks and citing the source, using an author's ideas without proper
      acknowledgment and citation, copying another student's work.
      If you have any doubts about how to refer to the work of others in your
      assignments, please consult your lecturer or tutor for relevant referencing
      guidelines. You may also find the Academic Honesty site on MyLO of
      assistance.
      The intentional copying of someone else’s work as one’s own is a serious
      offence punishable by penalties that may range from a fine or
      deduction/cancellation of marks and, in the most serious of cases, to
      exclusion from a unit, a course or the University.
      The University and any persons authorised by the University may
      submit your assessable works to a plagiarism checking service, to
      obtain a report on possible instances of plagiarism. Assessable
      works may also be included in a reference database. It is a
      condition of this arrangement that the original author’s
      permission is required before a work within the database can be
      viewed.

For further information on this statement and general referencing guidelines, see the
Plagiarism and Academic Integrity page on the University web site or the Academic
Honesty site on MyLO.

Academic misconduct
Academic misconduct includes cheating, plagiarism, allowing another student to copy
work for an assignment or an examination, and any other conduct by which a student:
   a. seeks to gain, for themselves or for any other person, any academic advantage
      or advancement to which they or that other person are not entitled; or

   b. improperly disadvantages any other student.

Students engaging in any form of academic misconduct may be dealt with under the
Ordinance of Student Discipline, and this can include imposition of penalties that
range from a deduction/cancellation of marks to exclusion from a unit or the
University. Details of penalties that can be imposed are available in Ordinance 9:
Student Discipline – Part 3 Academic Misconduct.
