Please note this information refers to the previous edition the introductory section of colquitt contains two chapters not found in the beginning of other books: job performance and organizational commitment. Why is this important? being good at one's job and wanting to stay with one's employer are critical concerns for employees and managers alike.

Using this approach, students can better appreciate the practical relevance of organizational behavior concepts.

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.
