This series of books offers concise and authoritative essays on organizational behaviour (OB). These contributions are short, critical and selective, rather than comprehensive or historical, and focus on current research and experience, identifying those developments that have made a difference. The series provides students, OB academics, consultants and practising managers with accounts of research on issues of relevance. Although traditional topics - motivation, leadership, job design, absenteeism - are explored, these essays also highlight innovative OB research on current issues that reflect the increasing interdependence between persons, across groups, and between work and home life, that is a feature of modern organizations. |
