In an increasingly competitive environment, an understanding of the behaviour and actions of people at work is of particular importance. The activities of an organisation are directed towards the attainment of certain goals and also have social implications. Organisational behaviour is a wide and essentially multidisciplinary field of enquiry and should not be considered in a vacuum but related to the process of management and wider organisational context and environment. Broadening the scope of the subject matter beyond the concerns of traditional organisational behaviour texts is a distinctive feature of this book, which is especially suitable across a range of different but related modules, including single or double semester units.

在竞争日益激烈的环境中，了解工作人员的行为和行为尤为重要。一个组织的活动是为了实现某些目标，也有社会影响。组织行为是一个广泛的、基本上是多学科的研究领域，不应在真空中考虑，而应与管理过程和更广泛的组织背景和环境有关。本书的一个显著特点是，将主题扩展到传统的组织行为学文本之外，尤其适用于一系列不同但相关的模块，包括单学期或双学期单元。
