Social and Economic Psychology

Abstract

The course unit Social and Economic Psychology is designed to explore both theoretical and practical aspects of psychological tools in management, aiming to enhance performance in managerial roles as well as at the individual and group levels. The curriculum emphasizes the complex socio-psychological dimensions of personality, viewed both as a subject and an object within managerial processes. Key psychological concepts addressed in the course include leadership and authority, intelligence, creativity, team management, managerial communication, labor conflict, decisionmaking, motivation, market communication, and the design and valuation of success strategies. The Social and Economic Psychology course also provides a solid foundation for further specialization in psychological approaches to performance management. It prepares students for advanced studies at the master’s level in Economic Sciences or related disciplines, doctoral research in Social and Economic Sciences, and ongoing professional development aligned with labor market demands.
