Organizational Behavior: Core Concepts (Available Titles CengageNOW)

In response to the need for an alternative to broad coverage organizational behavior books, Bob Vecchio has written ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR: CORE CONCEPTS, SIXTH EDITION. With solid coverage of theory, research, and practice, this new edition provides the core material that defines the field of organizational behavior. The chapters are organized and arranged so that the material progresses in traditional fashion from a micro (individual) to a macro (group and organizational) level.
