Organizational Behaviour

People, Process, Work and Human Resource Management

By: Raisa Arvinen-Muondo - editor, Stephen Perkins - editor

Narrated by: Simon Mattacks

There is a large body of shared knowledge between the study of Organizational Behaviour and Human Resource Management but despite the crossover, they are often treated as very distinct disciplines. Written by a team of experts across both fields, Organizational Behaviour bridges the gap between OB and HRM, with an emphasis on inter-cultural and cross-cultural perspectives of organizational development, talent management, and leadership. Through a critical analysis of existing literature and case studies, the contributors cover topics such as corporate governance, ethical business practices, employee morale and motivation, performance management, corporate politics and conflict resolution, workplace diversity, creativity, and change management - all within the framework of current global employment standards and best practices.

Great audio textbook for Organization Behavior

It is hard to find a narrated audio text book for Organizational Behavior, but I found this for my long drives and I am happy to have found it! I purchased this for my MBA with Robert Kennedy College/ University of Cumbria and it has all the same topics as the books suggested by the study program. I find it covers the topics even better than those other text books.

Great scope, well delivered

Content is relevant, delivered with tempo, probably difficult to implement as is, but a nice overview and reference for those that already have experience. I clapped at the end of this audio book from excitement of having heard something special: this audio book is really well done and well delivered!

Not so immediately applicable

I was expecting this to be very relevant to my work and most of the content is theoretical. Could have included more case studies to allow readers more insights in organisational context.

Waste of time

The book rambles about mundane HRM, social constructionism, and capitalist discourse. It is not useful or insightful, and as a researcher, I find it uninspiring.
