Organizational Behaviour

Bratton has delivered another cutting-edge resource for scholars and students of organization and work. The distinctive critical approach is retained, giving students and educators a chance to engage with organizational life as it really is. Rich in examples and with contributions by other leading researchers, this book provides both detail and scope in a readable yet thought-provoking way. * Edward Granter, University of Birmingham Business School, UK *
Bratton’s fifth edition places enduring organizational questions in the context of urgent contemporary change - e.g. AI, wars, democratic erosion, and climate breakdown. An excellent and timely resource for those seeking to understand organizational behaviour in the present era. Its strengths include intellectual depth, real-world relevance and diversity of ideas. By balancing critical and mainstream perspectives on organizations, leadership, and work, this textbook continues its strong appeal to my international students. * Sarita Koendjbiharie, Leiden University, the Netherlands *
This updated and extended version of an already outstanding textbook provides an in-depth interrogation of behaviour in our organisations. New and developed content around new challenges including AI, the changing geo-political environment, the new-normal workplace and the extension of dispersed and hybrid working. This is a definitive text, and a must use for students and scholars of Organisational Behaviour. * Alan Johnston, York St John University, UK *
This timely textbook offers a much-needed critical update to organizational behaviour for a world shaped by disruption and technological change. It combines intellectual rigour with a clear pedagogical commitment to helping students question taken-for-granted assumptions about power, efficiency, and organization. Its engagement with AI is especially valuable, inviting readers to ask how this socio-technical system shapes organizational behaviour and whose interests it serves. * Constantin Ciachir, Emlyon Business School, France *
