Organizational Behavior: Improving Performance and Commitment in the Workplace [Paperback] Colquitt

by Jason A. Colquitt

International student edition : Organizational Behavior 6th edition by Colquitt, LePine, and Wesson continues to offer a novel approach using an integrative model and roadmap to illustrate how individual, team, leader, and organizational factors shape employee attitudes, and how those attitudes impact performance and commitment. This model reminds students where they are, where they've been, and where they're going. They include two unique chapters on job performance and organizational commitment. Those topics are critical to managers and students alike, and represent critical outcomes in OB. Each successive chapter then links back to those outcomes, illustrating why OB matters in today's organizations.

Easy to understand textbook. In addition to the standard OB textbook material, each chapter offers case studies from real companies that align with the content topics. Also, each chapter offers suggestions on additional books to read if you wish to pursue a topic further.

Oh finally, just finished to read dis goddamn 768 page book. For me, this is the most engaging OB textbook. It keeps things interesting by having real world examples, statistics,OB at the bookstore, OB on screen, OB for students etc. Very useful.Simple, clear written OB textbook. I recommend it for students who are interested in OB.
~~~~~BUT, but I am not satisfy my OB final aaaahhhhh, lol~~~~

Good information in an easy-to-read format. Heavy on examples that can get wordy. Book could easily be cut by a 1/3 and still be very informative.

Decent Textbook, straight to the point. Examples were helpful.

[Emma Sonck]

This was course material for a class I am taking at OU. Not something I normally read, but I did learn a lot.

[Deborah Horton]

An insightful read. This was an assigned textbook but I enjoyed the sections with examples on Organizational Behavior on-screen and recommendations of other books to read on each topic.

Chapters were short and easy to understand

I got this book for $1 at the used bookstore at UW which is sadly now closed. Super helpful info for my managing position.

[Jim]

Nicely written and easy to read, especially for a textbook. Excellent examples used for visualization throughout with many of them being from recent enough memory that they are still relevant to the topics today. I have found myself repeatedly going back to this text as a reference in areas outside of its original use.

[Penny]

I had to read it for an online class so that discredits it a bit.
