Organizational Behavior: Human Behavior at Work, 13th Edition, John Newstrom




Organizational Behavior: Human Behavior at Work, 13e is a solid research-based and referenced text known for its very readable style and innovative pedagogy. While minimizing technical jargon, John Newstrom carefully blends theory with practice so that basic theories come to life in a realistic context. As in previous editions, this edition will be filled with practical, applied advice and a widely accepted, and specially updated, presentation of five models of organizational behavior that provides an integrating framework throughout the book.

I like the book because it is complete and easy to understand. It gives a lot of insights on how one's behavior is manifested. The structured presentations are accompanied by real life experiences. It is an easy reference guide even for a novice in organizational set-up. The only part I would like to suggest is that the authors should show an answer chapter for the quentions given in the end of the chapters especially in the case studies. I find it very interesting to know how the authors would solve the organizational problems.

I thought this book was very interesting because it describes everything that goes on in a business firm with all of the people involved. I give this textbook 5 stars because it is descriptive, detailed and informative.

Organizational Behavior: Human Behavior at Work. I would have wanted to know the state of the book. Since I did not have the full details I had to take a chance with Amazon.com and i did, Now I am happy with the results. It is a book that I had borrowed on short term and I can truly say that I have my own personal book. It is informative, user friendly( not complex).
