The Blackwell Handbook of Principles of Organizational Behavior by Edwin A Locke

The Blackwell Handbook of Principles of Organizational Behavior by Edwin A Locke

This international handbook provides students and managers with an essential resource connecting the theories to the real world of organizations and showing how to apply them. It goes beyond other handbooks by linking theory to practice in the real world. It gives students and managers practical principles to apply to all types of work situation. It includes contributions from a selection of experts from all over the world.

I found this book unique for several reasons: Locke knows who the experts are in each area and has got them to write chapters in what they are passionate aboutThe handbook covers the mainstream topics in OB and HRM and truly does provide principles valuable for both executives and advanced students...
