The textbook aims to help you develop a critical understanding of the theories and principles regarding an organization's environment and culture, and explore its impact on people's personalities.
Combined with useful exercises and references for further support, this market-leading text will give you a comprehensive overview of the fundamental theories encompassing Organizational Behaviour and will encourage you to question your existing views on the topic, whether you are an undergraduate, postgraduate, or professional student.
