Editorial Reviews

Review

This is the third edition of a successful American OB text. The material is very well organised and is presented in an appealing manner....It has an accompanying tutor's manual, a PowerPoint CD as well and a web page for those who want to base their GB courses around this text.
The Occupational Psychologist

This book's excellent treatment of the research literature is superior to other textbooks. By necessity, any textbook must cover only a sample of the research on a given topic, but Stroh, Northcraft, and Neale have done an excellent job of covering the most important and current research findings.
Steven C. Currall
Rice University

This book is well-grounded in current theory and research without losing sight of real world illustrations and discussions of their practical implications for prospective managers....the book strives to present useful and interesting insights from the latest academic thinking and research in organizational behavior.
Peter Hom
Arizona State University

The content is relevant, easy to read, entertaining and informative. The authors clearly understand the research literature, but they don't overwhelm the reader with a narrative of every study conducted on the topic at hand.
Talya Bauer
Portland State University

Based on my reading, this seems to be a well-written text that is well-grounded in terms of current theory and empirical research. It seems most appropriate for advanced undergraduate students, although it could be targeted at MBA students. A strength of the text seems to be its breadth of coverage and clarity in terms of writing style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read for managers and students of org behavior, January 5, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Organizational Behavior: A Management Challenge (Hardcover)
This book is a great read for anyone interested in learning more about organizational behavior. The research in action boxes provide real life examples of how research is applied in real work settings and is written by top researchers in the field of org behavior. The topics include leadership, perceptions, inclusion, motivation, organizational learning and many more. I highly recommend this for anyone attempting to manage in today's complex and uncertain environment. The book covers issues related to technology and international concerns as well. A great textbook or handbook for managers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still my favorite!, March 21, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Organizational Behavior: A Management Challenge (Hardcover)
I was really distressed when this went out of print several years ago--and am very happy that it is back in press. The updates for the intervening years appear to be right on target! The reviewer from 1998 was either reviewing the wrong book, or the 1994 editition!

2.0 out of 5 stars Poorly written with boring nonsence., June 11, 1998
By A Customer
This book could have been reduced to 150 pages if the authors removed all the nonsence. It takes the focus off the really important issues the book displays. Some parts are very well written, but they are too far apart. As a norwegian, I found the book easy to read and easy to understand.
