CLASSIC READINGS IN ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR is organized around the field's most discussed themes: leadership, motivation, teams and groups, effects of the work environment, power and influence, and organizational change. Within each of these thematic sections, the readings are presented chronologically so students can better understand the development of specific theories, as well as the overall development of the field of organizational behavior. Because of this effective organization and a thorough introduction, many instructors use this reader as the sole text for their courses."I believe this text is the best single compendium of classic and contemporary readings in organizational theory spanning both private and public sectors.""I like the introduction to each section. It puts the articles in context, provides the reader with a view of what is to come, and helps make the transition from ?classic? to present-day scholars. . . I think the editors do a great job with a very difficult discipline.""The text . . . . is indispensable for my organizational behavior course."
