Organizational Behaviour: Improving Performance And Commitment In The Workplace

NEW COVID-19 COVERAGE Because this edition was prepared during the first few waves of the global COVID-19 pandemic, this critical context is woven into many topics and, specifically, two chapter-ending cases.

NEW & UPDATED DIVERSITY IN EXAMPLES In each chapter, the wraparound case (featuring an interesting organization that Canadian students will know well) provides context for the chapter material. The text also continues to bring in many current examples from Canadian companies, maintaining an inclusive approach not only with how chapter materials are described and illustrated, but also in terms of pedagogy. It is especially important that students can see themselves in the text’s examples and for this reason marginalized people have been prioritized throughout the chapters. This includes people of colour, women, and members of the LGBTQ2I community.

NEW & UPDATED APPLICATION-BASED ACTIVITIES The Connect Application-Based Activities are highly interactive and automatically graded application- and analysis-based exercises wherein students immerse themselves in a business environment, analyze the situation, and apply their knowledge of business strategies. Students' progress from understanding basic concepts to assessing and solving complex real-world scenarios.

INNOVATIVE APPROACH Colquitt focuses on what really matters - employee performance and retention – and discusses the various topics in relation to these important work outcomes. Students appreciate the practical relevance of these relatable OB concepts.

EVIDENCE BASED APPROACH All topics covered are based on research. Colquitt focuses on evidence-based management, where scientific research supports why this theory works. Colquitt includes new and emerging topics that other OB titles leave out and excludes flawed and outdated topics that others leave in.

STUDENT ENGAGEMENT APPROACH OB is in the everyday of the student experience. Colquitt’s pop-culture examples featured throughout, helps students relate! OB on Screen uses scenes from popular films and television series to demonstrate OB topics in action. The Instructor Manual provides discussion questions around movie clips that relate back to these theories, engaging students (and entertaining them, too!). Manager’s Hot Seat interactive videos also immerse the student into realistic office situations, dealing with difficult employees in complex situations.

OB INTERNATIONALLY Changes in technology, communications, and economic forces have made business more global and international than ever. This feature spotlights the impact of globalization on the organizational behaviour concepts described in this book. It describes cross-cultural differences in OB theories, how to apply them in international corporations, and how to use OB to manage cultural diversity in the workplace.
