Organizational Behaviour

Autor Raisa Arvinen-Muondo, Stephen Perkins
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 ian 2013

După parcurgerea acestui volum, cititorul va fi capabil să diagnosticheze corect dinamica puterii într-o organizație și să implementeze strategii de management al performanței care aliniază obiectivele individuale cu cele colective. Observăm în Organizational Behaviour o abordare care refuză să trateze resursele umane și comportamentul organizațional ca discipline izolate. Găsim în această carte o punte necesară între teorie și practică, punând un accent deosebit pe perspectivele inter-culturale, esențiale în peisajul global actual al muncii. Dacă Organizational Behavior - International Student Edition de Christopher P. Neck v-a oferit cadrul teoretic și cercetările de ultimă oră, lucrarea scrisă de Raisa Arvinen-Muondo și Stephen Perkins oferă instrumentele practice pentru a naviga complexitatea identităților diverse la locul de muncă. Ne-a atras atenția structura riguroasă, împărțită în patru secțiuni logice: de la individ și procesele de percepție sau decizie, până la mecanismele colective de leadership și comunicare. Secțiunea finală este dedicată contextelor în schimbare, abordând teme sensibile precum politica organizațională, cultura și managementul schimbării. Autorii integrează analiza critică a literaturii de specialitate cu studii de caz relevante, acoperind standardele globale de angajare și bunele practici în etica afacerilor. Este o resursă care transformă conceptele abstracte despre motivație și moral în strategii aplicabile pentru creșterea eficacității organizaționale.

Descriere scurtă


With special focus on intercultural and cross cultural perspectives, this collection seeks to bridge the gap between organizational behavior and HRM that are often treated separately. Ideal for students of OB, HRM and Business, Organizational Behaviour covers topics such as: performance management, motivation, leadership, talent management, politics and conflict, change management, diversity and creativity.

Through a critical analysis of existing literature and case studies, the contributors examine the role of corporate governance in shaping the scope of managerial choices within organizations and the ethical dimensions of organizational behavior and global employment standards. Grounded in observable experience, Organizational Behaviour allows students to get beyond the abstract to understand OB in practice.

Descriere

There is a large body of shared knowledge between the study of Organizational Behaviour and Human Resource Management but despite the crossover, they are often treated as very distinct disciplines. Written by a team of experts across both fields, Organizational Behaviour bridges the gap between OB and HRM, with an emphasis on inter-cultural and cross-cultural perspectives of organizational development, talent management, and leadership. Through a critical analysis of existing literature and case studies, the contributors cover topics such as corporate governance, ethical business practices, employee morale and motivation, performance management, corporate politics and conflict resolution, workplace diversity, creativity, and change management - all within the framework of current global employment standards and best practices.
