Organizational Behaviour

by David A. Buchanan, Andrzej A Huczynski

Organizational Behaviour by Buchanan and Huczynski is one of the best established books in this field.  The authors’ popular blend of social science underpinning, challenging assumptions, applying theory to practice, and using movies to explore topical issues, makes this an ideal introduction to the subject.  This text can be used by undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional students as it assumes no prior knowledge of the social sciences in general, or of organizational behaviour.

[Ibrahim Kodssi · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book discusses a wide span of topics in HR and social sciences. This includes massive topics of theory and related concepts, models and references. Although some examples from practice are listed, further links to business examples with evaluation of options and results of made choices will definetly improve the readers' experience. HR employees and social scientists may find a lot of use for the ideas listed on this book.

A very well laid out text, with everything, including futher references, which you will need. A bit longer than necessary, though. It could have been condensed in many parts, where it stated the obvious.
