"This book consistently hooked me to the narrative by means of reflective questions and thought-provoking activities, which in turn created a sense of how the content can be quickly and easily applied within the reality of the workplace. Consequently, this is an ideal text to improve one's own performance in the workplace and for educators in organizational behaviour wishing to galvanize their students into action."

"This new textbook quickly becomes a top choice for my OB teaching due to its contemporary content, approachable format and user-friendly style. Every chapter is rich with helpful elements such as clear learning goals, essential terminology, concise summaries, review questions, exercises for both individuals and groups, real-world cases and insightful points for reflection. I especially enjoyed the mix of individual and group activities. Adding to the book's strengths is its relatively brief size, supplemented with thorough suggestions for further reading, which allow students to actually engage with the activities and deep-dive into the academic literature as needed."
