Master of Business Psychology

This Programme has twin objectives. The first is to produce specialists in Business Psychology. The second is to introduce in Makerere University Business School and in Uganda a new paradigm of management referred to as positive work psychology and positive organizational behavior. The recent organizational failures in the West have brought into sharp focus the weaknesses of the current management models, which have now been categorized as deficit-oriented because they focus on what is wrong, and the solution to what is wrong. They are therefore reactive and are generally inadequate in their ability to anticipate what may befall an organization or a business. Positive work psychology and positive organizational behavior on the other hand promote and are based on proactive assumptions of experiences of peak performance and abundance.
