Synopsis

Organizational Behavior, Theory, and Design in Health Care discusses and integrates five interactive meso elements (drivers of change, alignment, processes, leadership, and people) which have been identified as critical for the successful transformation of healthcare organizations. This comprehensive, reader-friendly, practical book fills the need of many health management programs that offer a combined organizational behavior and theory course and is highly-recommended for organizational studies courses in health care offered in both graduate and undergraduate programs in health administration, nursing, public health, and health professions. Uses the meso theory framework introduced by House, Rousseau, and Thomas-Hunt. Is extremely comprehensive; all of the topics one might expect to find in such an organizational studies book (and more) are found in this book. Includes many applications and examples in each chapter that illustrate the concepts at varying practical levels. Draws deeply on current research articles and case studies published in a wide variety of healthcare management journals to help the reader understand the relevance of the theory and empirical research to the types of problems and challenges currently facing today s healthcare executives.
