<p>"Why did we decide to write this text? Well, for starters, organizational behavior (OB) remains a fascinating topic that everyone can relate to (because everyone either has worked or is going to work in the future). What makes people effective at their job? What makes them want to stay with their employer? What makes work enjoyable? Those are all fundamental questions that organizational behavior research can help answer. However, our desire to write this text also grew out of our own experiences (and frustrations) teaching OB courses using other texts.

<p>Product Description      Colquitt, LePine, and Wesson’s, Organizational Behavior 8th edition continues to offer a novel approach that uses an integrative model to illustrate how individual, team, leader, and organizational factors shape employee attitudes―and how those attitudes impact job performance and organizational commitment. This model reminds students where they are, where they've been, and where they're going while elevating two topics that receive less coverage in other books: job performance and organizational commitment. The text also continues to include features that encourage students to see OB concepts playing out all around them, such as OB on Screen, OB at the Bookstore, and OB Assessments.
