Organizational Behavior
Description
Book Introduction
Our society today is changing at an astonishing pace, posing new challenges to organizations and organizational behavior.
These social changes and technological innovations are intertwined to create a new organizational environment, and futurists predict that artificial intelligence will become a part of organizations in the future.
Furthermore, organizational behavior requires understanding and adaptation in a new context, as it requires autonomy, dynamism, human relationships, and sustainability of members.

Advances in artificial intelligence are revolutionizing the work environment of organizations.
Machine learning, automated processes, and data analytics improve work efficiency while also demanding new competencies and skills from employees, forcing them to rethink existing concepts and models.
Today's organizations require flexibility, and working from home, flexible schedules, and distributed teams are becoming the norm, transcending geographic constraints.
Accordingly, organizations need new models of leadership and a new perspective on team collaboration.
Organizations also need more diversity and inclusion.
An environment free of discrimination within an organization fosters creativity and innovation, thereby highlighting the importance of diversity management and organizational culture.

In a technology-driven future, humanity and ethical values ​​will become increasingly important.
Organizations must adhere to human-centered values ​​while effectively leveraging technology, and the interaction between technology and humans will require ethical responsibility and concepts of trust.

Among the numerous textbooks on organizational behavior, Stephen P.
Robbins (Stephen P.
Robbins) and Timothy A.
Judge (Timothy A.
Judge's Organizational Behavior is the most widely read book in the world.
Revised approximately every two years, this book includes various cases, OB POLLs, ethical dilemmas, and scholarly pros and cons on key issues in each chapter to help readers understand organizational behavior more easily and enjoyably.
This book will help readers understand the specific factors that influence the performance of groups and organizations as a whole, the diversity of effective members, motivational methods, leaders and leadership behaviors, how to handle conflict with others, and how to use power.
We hope that many readers will grow into better workers, responsible managers, and excellent organizational behavior researchers by better understanding their own and others' thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors, and by learning effective ways to work together.

Publisher's Review
The world's most successful organizational behavior textbook

The 19th edition distinguishes itself by addressing the most pressing issues emerging in teaching and learning in organizational behavior.
Instructors who teach organizational behavior often struggle to keep pace with the advancements and innovations related to understanding people in the workplace.
Moreover, the current state is important for students to learn, take interest in, and understand organizational behavior.
Many students wonder about the implications of the transformative events currently taking place in their workplaces.

For example, the COVID-19 crisis has raised questions about whether remote work is effective, how to maintain work-life balance, and how the pandemic acts as a stressor on employees' mental and physical well-being.
The pandemic has also brought renewed attention to the rise of the gig economy and the many ethical and practical issues it raises.
Movements like Black Lives Matter and #MeToo have also prompted organizations, leaders, and members to consider how they should address equality and fairness, how they should value and promote diversity, and how they should create inclusive practices.
And technological advancements such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and social media have revolutionized the way organizations manage themselves.
Therefore, changes are also needed in the way members interact with customers, colleagues, and leaders.

The 19th edition provides a timely treatment of these topics, building on core knowledge of organizational behavior.
More than half of the cases and references in the 18th edition have been updated.
To meet the needs of contemporary learning and teaching, the chapters on diversity, equity, inclusion, communication, culture and change, and stress and health have been completely re-examined and rewritten.
In particular, the 19th edition added a special section titled “Towards a Better World” that addresses the social responsibility, fairness, and ethics faced by businesses.
We also provide a variety of supplementary materials to enhance your teaching and learning experience.
