Canadian and Global Focus. Canadian Organizational Behaviour is written by Canadians for people who live and work in Canada. It includes numerous Canadian cases and exercises, is anchored by Canadian and global scholarship, and is filled with Canadian examples of organizational behaviour in practice. Along with its Canadian focus, this book has been written from the view that globalization has a profound influence on the workplace. The global focus continues by discussing several international and cross-cultural issues throughout the book.
Linking Theory with Reality. Every chapter of Canadian Organizational Behaviour is filled with examples to make OB knowledge more meaningful and to illuminate the relevance and excitement of this field. These stories about real people and organizations translate academic theories into useful knowledge and real-life applications.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Canadian Organizational Behaviour continues to emphasize theories and practices around diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). A broad array of OB topics are connected to these objectives to ensure that people of all backgrounds feel psychologically safe, engaged, valued, authentic, listened to, and respected.
Organizational Behaviour Knowledge for Everyone. A distinctive feature of Canadian Organizational Behaviour is that it is written for everyone in organizations, not just managers. The philosophy of this book is that everyone who works in and around organizations needs to understand and make use of organizational behaviour knowledge.
Active Learning and Critical Thinking Support. Canadian Organizational Behaviour includes more than two dozen case studies in various forms and levels of complexity. It offers four dozen self-assessments, most of which have been empirically tested and validated. Student critical thinking is further aided with a Debating Point in each chapter. This feature demonstrates that seemingly obvious OB knowledge may be contested by contrary evidence and logical counterarguments.
