Module – Personnel & Human Resources Psychology

The essence of most employment contexts recognises that human resources within the environment are by far the most valuable assets which are referered to frequently as ‘human capital’ within work related contexts. A fundamental aspect of the application of psychological theories in work related contexts demands an understanding of the psychology of human relations and personnel management.
