A practical approach ensures students see the connection between organisational behaviour theories and the implications for practice in a real-world setting. Simplified lessons create flexibility for instructors, allowing them to design tailored coursework and exercises around core material. Globalisation, diversity, and ethics are integrated into the text to address modern issues, such as cross-cultural differences in the workplace. Increased content coverage includes updated research, relevant discussion, and new exhibits on the current organisational behaviour landscape. Topics include Attitudes and Behaviour, Employee Engagement, Emotional Intelligence, Person Perception: Making Judgments about Others, and more. Integrated discussions connect organisational behaviour concepts to contemporary global issues.
