Collaboration
A key theme underlying this edition is the need to move beyond the limits of hierarchical thinking and recognize we live in an increasingly interconnected and collaborative world. The changing nature of organizational life requires everyone, not just managers, to embrace shared responsibility and collaborative thinking. Making sense of and building skills to succeed in this collaborative context are mainstream themes for the book.
Emphasis on Relationships
Emphasis on Relationships is drawn from current research and highlights the importance of interpersonal relationships in OB. Special emphasis is placed on relationship-building processes relative to communication, power, and leadership
Context is a New Key Theme Throughout
Students are continually reminded to think about organizational behavior as it occurs in a dynamic and ever changing world. Chapters on organizational culture and structure will work well for those who like to start their course by framing first in organizational context, and then bringing it down to the individual level.
Communication
Organizations need effective communicators. The discussion of communication has been refreshed to incorporate research on voice, silence, feedback-giving and feedback-seeking.
Leadership process material has been substantially updated
Leadership process material has been substantially updated to reflect emerging trends in leadership research on identity, followership, relational leadership, and collective leadership. The overview of trait, behavioral, and contingency approaches to leadership is extended to include a discussion of complexity leadership and ethics.
Power and Politics
The new edition features a more balanced view of both positive and negative aspects of power and politics as well as new findings from network theory, research on perceptions of politics and political skills, and the nature of political climates to provide students with a broad-based and practical understanding of how power and politics issues matter to them.
