Campus: University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM)Description:SSM 1060- Managing Sustainable OrganizationsCourse Description:Sustainability ultimately depends upon human behaviour. At both individual and organizational levels, the actions that people take have profound social, economic, and environmental consequences. These consequences are manifest both in the immediate present and even more strongly in the experience of future generations. In this course, we will explore the human factors that influence the adoption of sustainable or unsustainable practices. Why do people prefer immediate gratification instead of long-term gains? How can we incentivize sustainable behaviour? What is the best way to act as an effective change agent within an organization? These questions will be addressed by examining fundamental topics in Psychology and Organizational Behaviour, including motivation, decision-making, and social dynamics. Over the course of the semester, our primary goal is to understand how insights from the behavioural sciences can be used to design and promote sustainable organizational practices.Estimated course enrolment: 35Hours of Work: 50 hoursSalary: $54.27/hourly SIA rate*Please note that should rates stipulated in the collective agreement vary from rates stated in this posting, the rates stated in the collective agreement shall prevail.Class Schedule: Specific dates to be determined in consultation with the MScSM Program OfficeSessional Dates of Appointment: September 2nd to December 31st, 2025Required Qualifications: Must have completed a graduate degree related to OB/HRM.Preferred Qualifications: Candidates with previous TA experience will be given preferenceApplication Procedure: * Download and fill out the
