The psychology of people in organisations Upplaga 1

The Psychology of People in Organisations Melanie Ashleigh and Angela Mansi A genuinely student-friendly and engaging introduction to work psychology and organisational behaviour. Packed with real-life examples and ethical dilemmas that ask difficult questions and provoke debate and discussion, The Psychology of People in Organisations offers authoritative content presented in a refreshingly accessible way. Learning features, including case studies throughout every chapter, help to bring the subject to life, and exercises and quizzes will help you to explore your own psychology and personal preferences to understand how you can relate to the topic on a personal level. What do students want and need in a textbook? They want it to be accurate and up to date. They want it to be comprehensive and critical. They want it to be well written and well structured with clear tables and diagrams which explain complicated issues. They want ideas and theories to come alive with case studies. They want and need to be challenged to start thinking for themselves as to what it all means to them. And they want it to be a bit different, even a bit quirky. They need look no further . . . this is a very good book.
