Driven by the concept of Total Quality Management, this book explores the needs and motivations of the leaders and employees in any organizations. It explores the issues such as perception, decision making, communication and small group behaviour to show that humans are people and not just faceless employees. Sections on organizational performance are included to help future managers understand change, challenges facing women, culturally diverse groups in organizations, aging, individuals with disabilities - including AIDS - and alcohol and substance abuse. This edition also includes both a greater use of examples of worldwide organizational behaviour and an emphasis on ethics.

Bates, Scott

Every culture rests on a bedrock of folk wisdom handed down through generations. The pronouncements of philosophers are homespun by our grandmothers, and find their way into our common sense: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Do unto others as you would have done unto you. Happiness comes from within. But are these 'truths' really true? Today we all seem to prefer to cling to the notion that a little bit more money, love or success will make us truly happy. Are we wrong? In "The Happiness Hypothesis, psychologist Jonathan Haidt exposes traditional wisdom to the scrutiny of modern science, delivering startling insights. We learn that virtue is often not its own reward, why extroverts really are happier than introverts, and why conscious thought is not as important as we might like to think...Drawing on the rich inspiration of both philosophy and science, "The Happiness Hypothesis" is a remarkable, original and provocative book - ancient wisdom in our time.
