Book Description

ISBN-10: 0324114893 | ISBN-13: 978-0324114898 | Publication Date: March 14, 2002 | Edition: 2

Organizational Behavior: Essential Tenets, is a well-organized introduction of the current field of organizational behavior with in-depth coverage of the most critical concepts. Its practical approach shows the power of organizational behavior theory for understanding one's behavior and the behavior of others in any organization. Although firmly grounded in behavioral science theory and research, the text is not a compendium of research findings. Champoux includes examples and builds frameworks that make the material clear and easy to understand. The concise format allows the text to be used as a primer or to be supplemented with additional cases, readings, or exercises.

Editorial Reviews

Review

I like that this text is brief, reasonably priced for students, and is good on what I feel are the most important topics (change, culture, motivation, job design).

I like the fact that the text provides a basic foundation and that I can then easily add new material in my comments in class.

My students love this textbook. They believe it is perfect.
