Description
How do we make workplaces more sustainable, given the present world challenges?
Balancing critical and management perspectives with the sociological and psychological aspects of organizational behaviour, this textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject and helps you think critically about the effects of human action on people at work.
This edition has reworked chapters and a strong focus on sustainability and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. It includes new coverage of the impact of artificial intelligence, work-life balance, hybrid and remote working, DEI initiatives and changes to organizations post-Covid. There are a variety of features to help you connect theory to practice, including The Reality of Work and Globalization and Organizational Behaviour. Globally-oriented, this 5th edition includes new cases and examples from around the world, and includes new chapter case studies that are aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
It assumes no prior knowledge of the subject or previous work experience, and the content fits to the typical structure of Organizational Behaviour modules at undergraduate, postgraduate and MBA level.
