People in Organizations - An introduction to Organizational behaviour

This book is designed for courses in organizational behavior,offered in management programs at both the undergraduate and graduate level or in departments of psychology. Mitchell has joined with new co-author Larson to prepare a comprehensive up-to-date integration of research and applications in organizational behavior. The text emphasizes a research-oriented approach to understanding the behavior of people in organizational settings and the authors explore issues of organizational behavior seldom discussed in other texts e. g.,the effect of internal versus external factors on human behavior; regulating the group process to increase the effectiveness of group decision making; dealing with marginal employees from a managerial perspective. This edition addresses areas of study that are still incomplete or yet unexplored and includes a new chapter on job stress. Additionally,it includes a wealth of actual research examples to more fully aid students in understanding the behavior of people in organizations.
