Samenvatting

Organisational Behaviour: Core Concepts and Applications, Fourth Australasian edition, is the ideal resource for a one–semester Organisational Behaviour course. Fourteen concise, relevant and tightly focused chapters, presented in a highly visual manner, are designed to engage rather than overwhelm students.

 Numerous case studies and real–world examples throughout the text examine how organisations in the Australian, New Zealand and Asian region are responding to contemporary business issues such as:

sustainable business practices and ethical considerations

the gender pay gap

employee stress and work life balance

workforce flexibility and casualisation

gen Y and the ageing workforce

skills shortages

globalisation

telecommuting

outsourcing

diversity in the workplace and managing cross–cultural teams

the 24/7 nature of contemporary communication technology, including social media.

 Complemented by the latest research in the field, this text provides a thorough analysis of contemporary organisational behaviour.
