Organizational behaviour is the study of human behaviour in organizations and focuses on the interaction between individuals, groups, organizations and the environment. This book presents a clear and reader-friendly introduction to the subject and covers the main theories, approaches and ideas of organizational behaviour. Classic theories, approaches and relationships between key variables are explored in a critical way.
Fundamentals of Organisational Behaviour is structured in four parts. The first part examines the different perspectives on organizational behaviour and explores how they relate to the changing context of organizations in the twenty-first century. Parts two and three focus on the individual and groups respectively, examining such topics as individual differences, motivation, perception, learning, groups and teambuilding as well as exploring the role of modern management. In the final part, the authors examine key organizational processes such as power, conflict, structure, change, the role of culture and how these impinge upon human resource management.
Based on the highly-regarded Business Psychology and Organisational Behaviour, this book explores the essentials of organizational behaviour in a lucid and accessible manner. Fundamentals of Organisational Behaviour offers a clear introduction to the subject. It will be essential reading for undergraduate students in business and management as well as offering a useful introductory approach to many generalized business and management postgraduate courses and several professional courses.
