Summary

An accessible and practical discussion of organizational behavior

In the newly updated third edition of Organizational Behavior, a team of accomplished educators delivers a multidimensional text that combines analysis, knowledge, personal development, and synthesis with useful pedagogical features that bring organizational behavior to life. This edition reconsiders organizational behavior from an interdisciplinary vantage point, showing students the interdependence of factors that explain human behavior. Frequently addressed organizational behavior subjects are considered from within an integrated framework and are employed to answer functionally relevant questions about why people behave the ways in which they do, as well as how to effectively influence and manage others.
