Organizational Behaviour cover

Have you ever wondered: · what motivates some people to work for free? · what the future of work will look like in a post-pandemic world? · why organizational values and culture are so critical to success? The authors explore the answers to these questions and more in this bestselling introduction to organizational behaviour. Featuring the flagship Junction Hotel running case study, this text is the most practical, critical, and complete guide to the subject. The authors have extensively revised this fourth edition to make it more relevant than ever before. A new chapter on equality, diversity, and inclusion, plus cutting-edge material on wellbeing in the workplace, the climate crisis, ethics in leadership and much more, reflect the importance of these issues to people and organizations today. Hear first-hand from twelve key professionals as they explain in bespoke video interviews woven throughout the enhanced e-book why leadership, teamwork, and responsible business practice are crucial in the workplace. For the fourth edition, a greater global range of examples is provided through the real life cases including new examples from Brewdog, Muji, and COP26, all of which help you make the connection between theory and practice. This book is accompanied by the following online resources: For students: · Practitioner interviews · Author videos · Self-test MCQs with answer feedback · Study skills guides · Guided readings of key research · Extension material · Links to additional resources · Flashcard glossary For lecturers: · Seminar activities (including tutor notes and student worksheets) · PowerPoint presentations · Test bank · Additional case studies · Junction Hotel Culture Report · Figures from the text

This is an extraordinary textbook - theory is explained clearly, without ever compromising depth and analytic soundness; the cases are appropriate, and the wider resources really helpful. As I tell my students ever since I adopted this textbook, if you read it you will learn everything you need to learn in regards the subject matter. * Dr Jose Bento da Silva, University of Warwick *
This book takes a nuanced and reflective approach to organisational behaviour, and at the same time it is enjoyable to read and provides great support for students. I can definitely agree with their slogan "critical, practical and supportive". * Dr Nadja Sörgärde, Lund University School of Economics and Management *
A great text book with a lot of real-life case studies; a running case study through the whole book gives the students a systematic view on how all the topics are related to each other and influence every aspect of organisational life. The videos are a good resource for students to watch after a lecture, which is useful for blended learning. * Dr Yumei Yang, Bournemouth University *
An excellent book exposing business students to real life business practices and explain with them, rather than just to them, those conceptual items that are fundamental, as well as functional, to contemporary business life. * Dr Xiao-Jian Wu, Northumbria University *
