DuBrin A. Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior 6ed 2019 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

This book is designed for courses in organizational behavior and management that focus on the application of organizational behavior knowledge to achieve enhanced productivity and satisfaction in the workplace. Organizational behavior is about human behavior on the job. Knowledge of organizational behavior is, therefore, an important source from which any manager or corporate professional may draw. The same information that can drive a manager to excel can also assist individual organizational contributors in becoming more adaptive and effective. Nonmanagerial professionals, technology workers, sales representatives, and service providers benefit from the insight and analysis that organizational behavior provides, as do managers and prospective managers. All are welcome under the umbrella of organizational behavior. Organizational behavior, because of its key contributions in driving workforce productivity, is a standard part of the curriculum in schools and colleges of business, management, and public administration. The case for the relevance of organizational behavior was stated recently by Bob Funk, the chairman, CEO, and founder of Express Employment Professionals, one of the nation’s largest job agencies. Funk observes that getting ahead in today’s world starts with skills. Yet hard skills and experience are only part of the equation, and not the important half. “So many people do not realize how important
soft skills (essentially interpersonal skills) are to unlocking job opportunity,” he says.* As a result of interest in the field, research and writing about the field proliferates. To provide just an overview of this vast amount of information, many introductory textbooks are quite lengthy, easily filling 800 pages or more. To soften the impact of such encyclopedic approaches to the study of organizational behavior, many of these books also lavishly layer figures and photographs onto their extended narratives. Many of the new, briefer textbooks are simply condensed versions of the longer books
