The world of work is complex, dynamic, and interactive. As such, there is a need for employees and managers to become more proactive, networked, and collaborative individuals. Students should understand how they can manage themselves to be more effective contributors in the workplace, and how -- as managers -- they need to focus on engaging employees with influence rather than authority to get things done.
Uhl-Bien/Schermerhorn, Organizational Behavior 13th Edition is written in an accessible style, with pedagogical features designed to bring OB to life. The text relays the value of OB for the workplace and for life, and the value of equally engaging students in this passion so they embrace the material and want to learn even more.
Accompanying Organizational Behavior 13th Edition is WileyPLUS, a research-based, online environment for effective teaching and learning. This online learning system provides students with a variety of study tools, a complete e-text and practice quizzes with instant feedback. For instructors, WileyPLUS offers automatically graded assignments or tests and a gradebook for monitoring student progress. Available in or outside of the Blackboard Learn Environment, WileyPLUS resources help reach all types of learners and give instructors the tools they need to enhance course material.
