Organizational Behaviour

Fourth Edition

Daniel King and Scott Lawley

Have you ever wondered:
· what motivates some people to work for free?
· what the future of work will look like in a post-pandemic world?
· why organizational values and culture are so critical to success?

The authors explore the answers to these questions and more in this bestselling introduction to organizational behaviour. Featuring the flagship Junction Hotel running case study, this text is the most practical, critical, and complete guide to the subject.

The authors have extensively revised this fourth edition to make it more relevant than ever before. A new chapter on equality, diversity, and inclusion, plus cutting-edge material on wellbeing in the workplace, the climate crisis, ethics in leadership and much more, reflect the importance of these issues to people and organizations today.

Hear first-hand from twelve key professionals as they explain in bespoke video interviews woven throughout the enhanced e-book why leadership, teamwork, and responsible business practice are crucial in the workplace. For the fourth edition, a greater global range of examples is provided through the real life cases including new examples from Brewdog, Muji, and COP26, all of which help you make the connection between theory and practice.
