"Welcome to the exciting world of organizational behavior! Knowledge is replacing infrastructure. Social media and virtual teams are transforming the way employees work together. Values and self-leadership are replacing command-and-control management. Companies are looking for employees with emotional intelligence and effective teamwork skills, not just technical smarts. Organizational Behavior, Eighth Edition, is written in the context of these emerging workplace realities. This edition explains how emotions are the foundation of employee motivation, attitudes, and decisions; how social networks generate power and shape communication patterns; how self-concept influences individual behavior, team cohesion, and leadership; and how adopting a global mindset has become an important employee characteristic in this increasingly interconnected world. This book also presents the reality that organizational behavior is not just for managers; it is relevant and valuable to anyone who works in and around organizations"-- Provided by publisher.
