Readings in Managerial Psychology - Hardcover

With more than half the papers new to this book, the fourth edition of Readings in Managerial Psychology represents a substantial revision of this popular text. This edition focuses more than ever on the managing process, both within and between organizations, and such "soft" issues as managing creativity and imagination, managers' values and beliefs, and organizational culture play a larger role than they have before. Readings in Managerial Psychology is designed for managers in business and industry, students of management, public and university administrators, and executives in other organizations. The collection can be used independently or as a companion volume to Harold J. Leavitt and Homa Bahrami's Managerial Psychology: Managing Behavior in Organizations (5th edition, 1988), also published by the University of Chicago Press.

Harold J. Leavitt is the Walter Kenneth Kilpatrick Professor Emeritus of Organizational Behavior and Psychology, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University. The late Louis R. Pondy was professor of business administration at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. David M. Boje works with Printers' Connection, Culver City, California.
