Title overview

Organizational Behavior has played a key role in shaping modern conversations around the key constructs of work culture: leadership, collaboration, communication and adaptation. Joining state-of-the-art theory and research, authors Stephen Robbins and Timothy Judge provide actionable practices that you can apply to both the world of work and your own work experiences.

The 20th Edition examines trends forecasting the future of work and careers. It evaluates sweeping changes impacting work environments and the people in them, from AI tools and data-driven decision-making to hybrid work environments and a renewed focus on team dynamics and psychological safety. Experiential Activities prompt reflection throughout, while five Comprehensive Cases tie concepts together at the end of the text.
