Organizational Behaviour—People, Process, Work and Human Resource Management

Arvinen-Muondo, who works in office administration and human resources management in Angola, and Perkins (corporate governance and leadership, London Metropolitan Business School, UK) compile 11 chapters by UK human resources, organizational behavior, and management scholars, who address human resources management using ideas and evidence from organizational behavior. They intend the text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in management and practicing managers who are familiar with introductory information on management and are interested in engaging with more complex and critical discussion. They focus on these aspects of managing people and their behavior: diversity; perceptions and making decisions; motivation; talent management; managing performance and organizational change; leadership, communication, and organizational effectiveness; conflict, power, and politics; organizational culture; and creativity, innovation, and knowledge management.
