Publisher's Synopsis
Organisational Behaviour: Core Concepts and Applications, Fourth Australasian edition, is the ideal resource for a one-semester Organisational Behaviour course. Fourteen concise, relevant and tightly focused chapters, presented in a highly visual manner, are designed to engage rather than overwhelm students.
Numerous case studies and real-world examples throughout the text examine how organisations in the Australian, New Zealand and Asian region are responding to contemporary business issues such as:
sustainable business practices and ethical considerations
the gender pay gap
employee stress and work-life balance
workforce flexibility and casualisation
gen Y and the ageing workforce
skills shortages
globalisation
telecommuting
outsourcing
diversity in the workplace and managing cross-cultural teams
the '24/7' nature of contemporary communication technology, including social media.
Complemented by the latest research in the field, this text provides a thorough analysis of contemporary organisational behaviour.
