About Organizational Behavior: A Skill-Building Approach
Product Description Why does organizational behavior matter - isn’t it just common sense? Organizational Behavior: A Skill-Building Approach helps students answer this by providing insight into OB concepts and processes through an interactive skill-building approach. Translating the latest research into practical applications and best practices, authors Christopher P. Neck, Jeffery D. Houghton, and Emma L. Murray unpack how managers can develop their managerial skills to unleash the potential of their employees. The text examines how individual characteristics, group dynamics, and organizational factors affect performance, motivation, and job satisfaction, providing students with a holistic understanding of OB. Packed with critical thinking opportunities, experiential exercises, and self-assessments, the new Second Edition provides students with a fun, hands-on introduction to the fascinating world of OB. Review "A new innovative approach to Organizational Behavior that challenges students to think critically by integrating the workplace into the classroom."--Andrea E. Smith-Hunter "A unique approach to OB which emphasizes practical, hands on information, based on a solid theoretical foundation."--Samira B. Hussein "Carefully thought out, well-researched, and invitingly pleasant to read."--Daniel S. Marrone "I don't usually get excited about changing textbooks, but this book has real potential. OB in the movies is a great way to connect."--Harriet L. Rojas "I think the text is on the right track. I really value the end of chapter material. You have pioneered some enhancements in that arena that will give the Neck text competitive advantage. It offers a fresh take on some familiar material."--David J. Biemer "I would feel like students had been exposed to some useful and instructive information as a result of reading the Leadership chapter. I would feel that they had been provided with an illustration of critical thinking through the story of Langston, who analyzed his situational circumstances and then made decisions about leading based on leadership theory."--Deborah S. Butler "Innovative and well-structured text with emphasis on current business issues and emerging topics."--Frederick R. Brodzinski "Organizational Behavior: A Critical Thinking Perspective will clear your head of the cobwebs as you engage your brain skills in multiple critical thinking exercises."--Janice S. Gates "Students enjoy stories and the narrative approach of this text is a refreshing change to often dry OB textbooks."--Tracy H. Porter "The text is well-written and easy to follow. I like the extended narratives running through the chapters. They provide solid real-life examples of how the theory plays out in practice, which is particularly important for students who have limited experience with or understandings of organizations and work. Stories are memorable and will help remember and associate concepts."--Marla Lowenthal "This is a very readable text suited for any graduate or undergraduate student. It contains real life examples that make the concepts understandable and explainable."--Robert D. Gulbro "This text is current and has all the theory and practical applications that we need to teach OB and prepare our students for the world of work. These extended narratives are very useful in linking together the concepts in adjacent chapters to real world situations. The cases and study questions are especially useful to help students learn."--Warren Matthews "This textbook is centered on student engagement by including features which enable the student to learn by using critical thinking skills.'--Maria D. Vitale "This textbook is geared to stimulating student interest in the subject."--Nathan Himelstein "Today's students are best served if we can show them how to bridge theory with practice. Today's students will serve the world if they can demonstrate what they have learned best in college."--Audrey M. Parajon About the
