Organizational Behavior, International Adaptation

Organizational Behavior is a multidimensional text that combines analysis, knowledge, personal development, and synthesis with useful pedagogical features that bring organizational behavior to life. Considering organizational behavior from an interdisciplinary vantage point, this book focuses on 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.
 
Including several exciting updates to content, chapter features, and the OB Skills Workbook, this international edition leverages the foundational content, engaged writing style, and practical appeal of previous editions to address critical trends in the modern workplace. The new content focuses on ethics, identity and diversity, strategy, organizational change, theory of organizational justice, innovation, perception management in organizations, leadership, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on modern worklife.
