This enlightening, introductory textbook will help you to understand the complexities of organizational life, by encouraging you to look with a critical eye at modern business practices and to engage with what you see.
The fourth edition of Organizational Behaviour and Work takes the reader through from critical perspectives on classic organizational behaviour topics to the core of the critical approaches, including power, resistance, and alternative forms of organization. The book also includes enhanced pedagogy, ensuring that the text is highly accessible, assuming no knowledge on the part of the reader. The range of themes and topics explored provides a rich picture of the realities of
organizational life, and of the varied contributions that make up the study of organizational behaviour.
This book is accompanied by an Online Resource Centre that includes:
For students:
Glossary
Web links
Critical thinking exercises
For lecturers:
PowerPoint slides
Questions for research and discussion
Additional case studies
Group exercises
An accessible, critical introduction to the study of work, management, and organizational behaviour. It introduces readers to a wealth of topics, ideas, and research from within the field. Taking a critical perspective, readers are encouraged to analyse and question the traditional approaches to the study of organizational life.
Trying to be critical while introducing a new area to students is difficult. I think this book pulls it off with a fresh and engaging approach.
