Organisational Behaviour: Engaging People and Organisations

Book excerpt: Organisational Behaviour: Engaging People and Organisations uses an integrative model to teach a robust approach to OB by encompassing five levels of analysis: environment, individual, groups, leadership and organisation, and demonstrating how each relates to one another. It teaches a contemporary approach to Organisational Behaviour that aims to understand, rather than control, human behaviour in organisations. Unique to this local edition is the inclusion of a ‘critical perspective’ of Organisational Behaviour introduced through in-chapter features and the end-of-chapter case study. This complements courses that teach mainstream theory and advance through to critical examination of the subject area. This approach presents a side of management that reflects real-world experiences in the workplace by challenging the managerial perspective and discussing issues for employees.
