Summary

Despite more than 40 years of empirical and conceptual research, the contribution of behavior analysis to the world of business remains limited and organizational behavior management gets less attention than it deserves both from the academic and professional communities. Acceptance and Mindfulness at Work presents a behavioral analysis of human language that's ready to use, with applied extensions proven to have a significant impact in organizational settings, that may help change that picture. The leading experts in the field examine how these ongoing developments can help broaden the exploration of the psychological issues relevant to organizational behavioral management in the workplace.
