  Description:

There is a large body of shared knowledge between the study of Organizational Behaviour and Human Resource Management but despite this crossover they are often treated as very distinct disciplines. Written by a team of experts across both fields, Organizational Behaviour bridges this gap by helping the reader to relate the OB canon to their experiences in the world of work and organizations, prompting them to question the way relationships around employment are managed within these institutions. Examining the theory and practice behind OB, it covers the key areas in management studies including:

• diversity

• corporate governance

• leadership

• managing teams

• talent management

• performance management

• motivation

• ethics

• culture

• creativity and innovation

• change
