Canadian Organizational Behaviour

Canadian Organizational Behaviour reflects the dynamic world of organizational behaviour and emerging workplace realities - social media and virtual teams; values and self-leadership; emotional intelligence and effective teamwork skills. The Tenth Edition explains how these new realities impact/benefit an organization, and that organizational behavior is not just for managers, but is relevant to all who work in and around organizations. Canadian Organizational Behaviour has developed a reputation for its solid foundation of contemporary and classic research and writing. The Tenth Edition connects vivid real-world examples and practices to good theory. This evidence-based foundation is apparent from the number and quality of literature cited in each chapter, including dozens of ¬articles, books, and other sources. This market leading title discusses emerging OB theories such as the full self-concept model (not just core self-evaluation), workplace emotions, social identify theory, global mindset, four-drive theory, Schwartz's values model, employee engagement, learning orientation, social and information processing characteristics of job design, and many other groundbreaking topics. The authors also teach organizational behavoiur so they know the importance of a textbook that offers deep support for active learning and critical thinking with Canadian and global cases and examples and rich in-class activities.

The Seventh Edition ofCanadian Organizational Behaviouris truly a "new and improved" McShane: new trim size, fresh new design, new co-author, reorganized table of contents, improved examples, and even enhanced readability.The McShane brand is known for its cutting edge research and scholarship, recognized for its "for Canadians, by Canadians" approach to content, and respected for its firm anchoring of Canadian material within a global context. No other OB book offers the kind of comprehensive coverage in such an accessible, readable format. Canadian Organizational Behaviour continues to lead the way as the most innovative OB text on the market. McShane was the first OB textbook to include topics such as workplace emotions, appreciative inquiry, social identity theory, future search events, virtual teams, workaholism, and emotional intelligence. The innovation continues in the seventh edition with new and expanded coverage of topics such as employee engagement, resilience, four-drive theory, blogs and wikis, psychological harassment, learning orientation, Schwartz's values model, and separating socioemotional from constructive conflict.The pedagogical features have been completely overhauled to speak to new and emerging topics in OB worldwide, including the opening vignettes, the photo essays in each chapter, and many of the end-of-chapter exercises and end-of-part cases.

Unlike any other OB textbook in the market, Neubert, Dyck, Medcof and Waller’s, Organizational Behaviour empowers students to look at OB through two lenses: the traditional, core concepts that focus on how to make a company profitable, and the sustainable, collaborative, creative, and ethical decision making lens that students and many employers of today are looking for in business. By inviting students to compare and contrast short-term profitability and long-term sustainability, Organizational Behaviour helps students build the critical thinking skills needed to positively affect organizations, people, and communities.

"At last there is a lucid, well-written OB book, which covers key issues required in OB teaching, but which has a mind of its own. Students and faculty will recognize this is more than standard fare." - Bill Cooke, Manchester Business School
