Organizational Behaviour: A Critical Introduction - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

This text is designed to provide a clear, straightforward, critical introduction to organizational behaviour, challenging and questioning what constitutes the subject and how it is influenced. Organizational behaviour is seen here as being mainly about the ways in which individuals' dispositions are expressed in organizations, and the effects of this expression. It discusses rest and play within organizational settings, as well as work. Whilst organizational psychology usually informs the content of textbooks in organizational behaviour, this book draws mainly on the sociology of work to focus on issues such as power, control, subordination, manipulation, resistance, theft, sexuality, dirty and deviant work, culture and emotion, as well as bureaucracy and unemployment. The book is particularly written for those who wish their students to know that there are few certainties about how to manage, and many uncertain tensions, irrationalities and dilemmas amongst the mundane realities of working life. It shows how workplaces are sites of inequalities divided by class, levels of education, race and gender.
