"Science" refers to roots of the discipline and the way the book is anchored in research tradition--both classic research as well as leading-edge scholarship. "The Real World" reflects current trends in organizations and takes shape as examples from all types of organizations. "You" reflects the opportunities to grow and develop both as individuals and organizations. The book helps students learn not only the concepts and theories that enhance the management of human behavior at work, but also how to practice these skills. A wealth of proven features, cases, exercises, and examples--including six new focus companies--stimulate interest and discussion; demonstrate how theories and research apply; and prompt cognitive and skill-based learning. Established organizational behavior topics are discussed, including motivation, leadership, teamwork, and communication, as are emerging issues shaping the field. The exciting theme of change clearly demonstrates how attitudes and behaviors within an organization are affected by change and the new opportunities and experiences change presents. Supporting themes focus on globalization, diversity, and ethics. | | | |

 Worst. Textbook. Ever. Dec 31, 2011
By Ben Cirillo
How this book made it to 7 editions without anyone noticing how poorly written it was is a mystery. Chances are very high that if you're reading this, you're a student and you have to buy this book for class. I'm sorry. Do yourself a favor and rent the Kindle edition so at least you won't have wasted as much money. If you're a professor, know that if you selected this book for your class, your students now hate you.

I thought this book was great. I have read a couple reviews by officianado's who say that the authors are using old references. To this I say garbage! There have been so many changes in how business has been done in the last 4 years of financial turmoil that I felt all the reference material was great. As a matter of fact, I copied the pages out of the back of the book with all the references so I could circle the article names and do research on the material used. I found the references helpful and augmented my learning process. I look at what I knew 8 weeks ago and what I have learned and would say Thank You to Nelson and Quick for their diligence in writing a good book.
Problem Solved! Oct 13, 2011
By Darataya
I ordered this book and did not receive it in time. Although I did not expedite the shipping, I almost always receive my Amazon purchases within a week. This took much longer and I needed the book for my class. I ended up not using the book and made other arrangements.
I let the seller know. The seller was very courteous and wanted to make sure I was satisfied. They offered me a full refund on the book, if I returned it. I took them up on the offer. I really appreciate it.
Issues happen from time to time, but how they are resolved is what counts. I am very satisfied and would consider using this seller again for my future purchases.
Thanks!
 Heavy on typos, light on functional information Jul 24, 2011
By JoshuaDC
This text was a let down in many areas. I purchased this text for a 300 level organizational behavior class and was surprised at how much it lacked new research and instead was built around studies and ideas that have largely evolved in the I/O field. I have taken other I/O classes and would recommend other texts, as this one clearly is not the best. Furthermore, this text is FULL OF TYPOS!!! One of many being that Mark Zuckerberg (founder of FB) is spelled "Mark Zuckerman" throughout the text. I purchased this text along with the older sixth edition, and the only difference between the two is that the 7th edition has updated case studies, THATS IT!!! You would likely be able to pass your class with the older edition, which costs $5 here on Amazon. Overall this text was a disappointment and a perfect example of the publisher trying to sell a "new edition" that contains virtually no new information.
Cheers,

Would purchase again... Sep 27, 2010
By Koko
I received the book in a few days, which was right before my course started. The book was in excellent condition and contained all the original software. Very impressed.
