Understanding how individuals behave and act at work is especially crucial in today's atmosphere of heightened competition. An organization's actions have societal repercussions in addition to being focused on achieving specific objectives. It is important to remember that organizational behavior is a broad and fundamentally diverse topic of study and should not be seen in isolation but rather in relation to the management process and the larger organizational context and environment. This book stands out for expanding the subject's issues beyond those of conventional organizational behavior manuals. It is especially appropriate for use in a variety of diverse but related modules, such as single or double semester units. The fundamental tenet of the book is the requirement for good organizational performance and development based on knowledge of employee behavior at work and the function of management as an integrating activity. The concepts and ideas put forward serve as a foundation for divergent viewpoints on the composition, management, and operation of organizations as well as relationships amongst those who work there.
