great textbook for your busness course

This might be the first textbook I've ever read all the way through! Very readable for a textbook. I like the boxes with definitions so it's easy to skim for the term you're looking for.
Also, it's nice to read a Canadian textbook for a change! Lots of examples about Canadian companies, including my own city of Winnipeg. I think that made it more interesting for me.
I'm a library tech student, and this was my textbook for Human Behaviour in Organizations.

An interesting and thought provoking textbook.
I enjoyed how every chapter opened up with a story that directly related to the material in the chapter. I feel like those stories definitely helped me to relate to the text as well as to my own experiences.

Textbook for our Organizational Behaviour course at the University of Regina taught by Sandra Steen. Loved the course, the professor, and the material - highly educational and beneficial in more than just Human Resources positions.

This was "alright". I've had more engaged textbooks and I've had worse.
My interest in this subject was starting to wane near the end, although I'm not sure that's entirely the fault of the text.
