Organizational Behavior

by Robert Kreitner, Angelo Kinicki

Organizational Behavior, Eighth Edition , continues in its tradition of being an up-to-date, relevant and user-driven textbook. Kreitner and Kinicki’s approach to organizational behavior is based on the authors’ belief that reading a comprehensive textbook is hard work, but that the process should be interesting and sometimes fun. Thus, they consistently attempt to find a way to make complex ideas understandable through clear and concise explanations, contemporary examples, a visually appealing photo/art program, and/or learning exercises. With every edition, the authors make every effort to respond to user feedback and ensure the text covers the very latest OB research and practices.
The cover again depicts the well-known Wolf brand, but this time with a black and white illustration of two wolves. This remains a central theme because Kreitner and Kinicki see wolves as an instructive and inspiring metaphor for modern Organizational Behavior. Wolves are dedicated team players, great communicators, and adaptable. These are key success attributes in today’s workplace.

This text accompanied a super class! My favorite class of the semester at Empire State College.

Interesting textbook for organizational behavior. Unfortunately, German companies small and large are lightyears behind in this area.

[Mick Maye]

easy to read book on the basics of organisational behaviour. Organised into relevant groupings including people-centred organisations, culture, socialization, diversity, motivation, group dynamics etc. Plenty of examples.

It's the first time I'm reading about this topic and I must say I really enjoyed it. Very well written, straight to the point and rich in content. I feel like I have a new and wider viewpoint on dynamics at work.

The layout of the book bothers me almost as much as the content... it is reminiscent of 4th grade text books. Don't get me wrong, I loved the 4th grade. But I'm in GRAD SCHOOL. Something's not right.

Verbose as most university textbooks are prone to be, but good practical information for business-minded folk.

Overall the information was good and the class that I had in conjunction with it was great, but the text itself felt dry and boring. There were some nice 'real-life' examples but they seemed to just scratch the surface of the topic instead of exploring it.
