For courses in Organizational Behavior, Human Relations, and Industrial Psychology.
By adopting a diagnostic approach, this text encourages students and managers to describe situations completely, diagnose the organizational behavior, prescribe the best practices or most appropriate behavior for given organizational situations, and then act effectively in those situations. Each chapter's introductory scenario describes a real-world situation. End-of-chapter activities and end-of-part cases give students the opportunity to practice their diagnostic and action skills.
