Overview

This third edition-now from LEA-brings together the challenges faced by managers as they learn to adapt to a more globalized world, as well as to an even-more-technologically sophisticated world. Divided into five parts, this text book has been designed to effectively present an overview of the challenges facing managers and employees in today's competitive organizations. Part I focuses on the core of the field of organizational behavior. Parts II and III provide foundation knowledge for meeting the challenges of organizational behavior. Part IV applies this foundation knowledge to three primary issues in managing behavior in organizations: acquiring and integrating employees (organizational entry), developing jobs in which these employees will excel (job design), and helping employees succeed within the organization (managing for performance). Part V examines the larger context of organizational behavior. Organizational Behavior, Third Edition incorporates a number of special features to make the process of learning the subject more interesting and comprehensive, including: * Photos and new artwork, with captions, * ""Focus on"" boxes and vignettes, with new emphasis on International and Technological issues, * ""Research in action"" boxes, with contributions from leading researchers in the field, * End-of-chapter learning aids, and * A new ancillary package, including web page, instructor's manual, and Power Point presentations.

Reviews

The content is good. It is relevant, easy to read, entertaining and informative. The authors clearly understand the research literature, but they don't overwhelm the reader with a narrative of every study conducted on the topic at hand. --Talya Bauer Portland State University, USA

This is the third edition of a successful American OB text. The material is very well organised and is presented in an appealing manner....It has an accompanying tutor's manual, a PowerPoint CD as well and a web page for those who want to base their GB courses around this text. -The Occupational Psychologist This book's excellent treatment of the research literature is superior to other textbooks. By necessity, any textbook must cover only a sample of the research on a given topic, but Stroh, Northcraft, and Neale have done an excellent job of covering the most important and current research findings. -Steven C. Currall Rice University This book is well-grounded in current theory and research without losing sight of real world illustrations and discussions of their practical implications for prospective managers....the book strives to present useful and interesting insights from the latest academic thinking and research in organizational behavior. -Peter Hom Arizona State University The content is relevant, easy to read, entertaining and informative. The authors clearly understand the research literature, but they don't overwhelm the reader with a narrative of every study conducted on the topic at hand. -Talya Bauer Portland State University Based on my reading, this seems to be a well-written text that is well-grounded in terms of current theory and empirical research. It seems most appropriate for advanced undergraduate students, although it could be targeted at MBA students. A strength of the text seems to be its breadth of coverage and clarity in terms of writing style. -Elizabeth Morrison New York University, Stern School of Business
