Introduction to Organizational Behaviour

The authors’ approach is balanced between a management and psychological perspective, and is pedagogically enhanced with up-to-date illustrative examples, case studies and assessment material.

This edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect developments within the field. It includes a new chapter on organization environments - giving special attention to the topical concept of the ‘knowledge worker’, and dedicates increased coverage to sociological issues such as structure, strategy, power and subjectivity.

Features include:

• A concise and straightforward approach, offering a broad introduction to the discipline
• New coverage of “discourse” and post-structuralism in organisational analysis
• Updated case studies at the end of each chapter, illustrating the main themes of the chapter and allowing students to apply OB in practice. Questions are found at the end of each case study to test students’ understanding of the cases
• Further reading at the end of each chapter to provide students with the opportunity to explore further topics of interest in OB
• Key terms, summaries, discussion and self-test questions to highlight the practical application of OB concepts and encourage students to critically review the material
