About the Book

The present edition of Organisational Behaviour: A Comprehensive Study is redesigned in the context of new emerging workplace realities. It explains how emotions guide employee’s motivation, attitudes, and decisions; how values have become the new resource to shape workplace behaviour; how companies rely on creativity and a learning orientation as their source of competitive advantage in the knowledge economy; and how appreciative inquiry has become one of the emerging strategies for organisational change. This edition also presents the new reality that organisational behaviour is not just for managers; it is relevant and useful to anyone who works in and around organisations.  The content and these elements encourage the students to relate their own knowledge and experience to the text, exercises, and case studies in the book.
