Abstract

PurposeWe investigated the effectiveness of using feature films in teaching organizational behavior courses at the undergraduate level at a mid-Western university in the USA.Design/methodology/approachOur model included the impact of film analysis on self-perceived learning outcomes and cognitive and affective changes among students. Structural equation modeling using partial least squares and contemporary mediation analysis techniques were employed.FindingsFeatured film analysis positively impacted perceived learning outcomes and the cognitive and affective components of learning among students. We also found an indirect effect on cognitive and affective change, indicating that learners’ improved perceived learning outcomes deepened their learning and resulted in greater appreciation of organizational behavior theories.Practical implicationsFilms are effective pedagogical tools for teaching complex business theories and principles. We recommend that faculty members pay careful attention to selecting films for study and should design film analysis projects aligned with meaningful course learning outcomes. Appropriate films and carefully designed learning outcomes trigger cognitive changes and have a lasting influence on students beyond the semester.Originality/valueOur study is one of the few empirical studies demonstrating the effectiveness of feature films as a pedagogical tool for organizational behavior courses.

在组织行为学教育中使用故事片的效果：实证调查

目的我们调查了在美国中西部一所大学的本科阶段组织行为学课程教学中使用专题片的有效性。采用偏最小二乘法和当代中介分析技术进行结构方程建模。研究结果专题影片分析对学生感知到的学习成果以及学习的认知和情感部分产生了积极影响。我们还发现了对认知和情感变化的间接影响，这表明学习者对学习成果感知的改善加深了他们的学习，并使他们对组织行为理论有了更深的理解。我们建议教师在选择学习影片时要仔细斟酌，并根据有意义的课程学习成果设计影片分析项目。适当的电影和精心设计的学习成果会引发学生的认知变化，并在学期结束后对学生产生持久的影响。原创性/价值我们的研究是为数不多的实证研究之一，证明了故事片作为组织行为学课程教学工具的有效性。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Educational Management (IJEM) provides those interested in the effective management of the educational process with a broad overview of developments and best practice in the field, with particular reference to how new ideas can be applied worldwide. As the whole structure and philosophy of education goes through a sea-change, and as budgets are cut, educational managers need to keep abreast of new developments in order to maximize their resources and determine the most appropriate management strategy for their institution. The journal explores research in the following areas: -Innovation in educational management across the spectrum -The development of educational delivery mechanisms -Creation of an environment in which the management of resources provides the most efficient outputs -Sharing of new initiatives, with an international application The International Journal of Educational Management addresses the increasingly complex role of the educational manager, offering international perspectives on common problems and providing a forum for the sharing of ideas, information and expertise.
