Organizational Behavior

In your hands, anything is possible. In today's rapidly changing organizations, anything is possible. With the right personal skills and a strong foundation in research and theory, you can shape your future and the future of our society--no matter how challenging things become. Now revised to address the recent changes in the workplace, Schermerhorn, Hunt, and Osborn's Organizational Behavior, Ninth Edition sets organizational behavior within a framework of personal and organizational transformation, while retaining its solid base of theory and application. Prepare yourself for the changing workplace. The Ninth Edition features the theme of organizational behavior in changing times, anchored by a new Chapter 2 that introduces you to current issues in organizational behavior. Edition after edition, this text has established a reputation for its effective presentation of current theory and research in a student-centered context. The Ninth Edition further strengthens that tradition with new Research Insight boxes in each chapter that summarize relevant cutting-edge research reports. Changing times offer new insights from real-life change agents. Leaders on Leadership features for every chapter in the Ninth Edition bring you face-to-face with the experiences and perspectives of today's change leaders--Rudy Giuliani, Carly Fiorina, Earl Graves, and others. Now is the time for you to build the skills needed for personal and career success in our demanding, changing environment. Revised with new materials from Jossey-Bass/Pfeiffer, the innovative end-of-text OB Skills Workbook features many enriching learning opportunities from a selection of cases for critical thinking, experiential exercises, and self-assessments.Schermerhorn, John R. is the author of 'Organizational Behavior', published 2005 under ISBN 9780471681700 and ISBN 0471681709.
