Title overview

Organizational Behaviour provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking introduction to the forces that shape behaviour in today's workplaces. Taking a multidisciplinary social science approach, it examines how individuals, groups, and organisations interact within complex and rapidly changing environments. Students are encouraged to think critically about organisational practices, challenge assumptions, and evaluate alternative perspectives while exploring key topics such as motivation, communication, personality, learning, leadership, culture, decision-making, and organisational design.

Updated to reflect the realities of modern organisations, this edition explores contemporary issues including diversity, equality and inclusion, hybrid working, artificial intelligence, sustainability, geopolitical uncertainty, and the evolving nature of leadership. Engaging learning features, real-world research, multimedia resources, and practical employability activities help students connect theory to workplace practice while building the critical thinking, communication, and professional skills needed for future careers in business and management.
