Opis

This comprehensive text provides a detailed review and analysis of the building-block theories in Organizational Behavior. John Miner has identified the key theories that every student or scholar needs to understand to be considered literate in the discipline. Organizational Behavior I: Essential Theories of Motivation and Leadership analyzes the work of leading theorists. Each chapter includes the background of the theorist represented; the context in which the theory arose; the initial and subsequent theoretical statements; research on the theory by the theory's author and others (including meta-analysis and reviews); and practical applications. Special features including boxed summaries of each theory at the beginning of each chapter; two introductory chapters on the scientific method and the development of knowledge; and detailed and comprehensive references help make this text especially useful for graduate courses in Organizational Behavior and Industrial/Organizational Psychology.
