Appropriate for undergraduate courses in Organizational Behaviour or Organizational Psychology, in Management and Psychology departments. One or two semester courses. The newly revised edition of Behaviour in Organizations highlights the ever-changing nature of organizations and people's involvement in them, offering a uniquely Canadian perspective on the domestic business scene and a fresh look at the field of Organizational Behaviour in today's rapidly changing world. The one constant in this edition is the continued emphasis on both research and practice. The research focus has been broadened with the addition of many new studies. Coverage of the practical, applications-oriented side of OB has also been augmented and supported by updated examples, illustrating how OB practices and principles are applied in today's organizations across North America and around the world.
