Summary: Welcome to a new era of organizational behaviour! Virtual teams are replacing committees. Values and self-leadership are replacing command-and-control supervision. Knowledge is replacing infrastructure. Companies are looking for employees with emotional intelligence, not just technical smarts. Globalization has become the mantra of corporate survival.

Canadian Organizational Behaviour, Fifth Edition, is written in the context of these emerging workplace rea ...show morelities. This edition explains how emotions guide employee motivation, attitudes, and decisions; how values have become the new resource to shape workplace behaviour; and how a person's social identity relates to team dynamics, stereotyping, and organizational culture. This book also presents the new reality that organizational behaviour is not just for managers; it is relevant and useful to anyone who works in and around organizations.
