Hi Tripit,

This is not meant to be an advertisement for my books but I do extensively explore (more so than anyone else I know of in organizational behavior or management in general) group and social network behavior from a very fundamental evolutionary perspective in Unleashing Intellectual Capital (Butterworth-Heinemann, 2000) and Hidden Assets: Harnessing the Power of Informal Networks (Springer, 2005) www.UnManagement.com. Both works, of course, also have extensive bibliographies.

Best wishes,

Subject: Theories of Group Behavior

Dear Members,

I am in the process of designing a doctorate level course on 'Theories of Group Behavior' the focus is on groups in organisation. 

I wish to cover the theories from different perspectives e.g. evolutionary, conflict power status, the symbolic, the psychodynamic, the functional, the social identity, social network etc.

I request you  to share your course outlines, in case you are teaching courses which relate partly or fully with the Title.

I also request to suggest research based books that can be part of the readings. 

Please share your research papers published or non published related to the given topic.   

I will compile the responses and send the same to people interested to receive the compiled list. 

Thanking you,

Dear Tripti,

I teach a grad level org psych course & will be using this reading - it provides a nice overview of some contemporary research issues:

Kozlowski, S. W. J., & Ilgen, D. R. (2006). Enhancing the effectiveness of work groups and teams. Psychological Science in the Public Interest, 7, 77-124.
