Organizational Behavior

Stephen P. Robbins, Timothy A. Judge · 18th Edition · ISBN 9780134729329 · Pearson

Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Organizational Behavior (18th Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and exam-style practice questions for all 18 chapters.

Overview

Robbins and Judge's Organizational Behavior (18th Edition) is the most widely assigned text in the field, examining how individuals, groups, and structures affect behavior within organizations. It starts with what organizational behavior is and diversity in organizations, then explores the individual level — attitudes and job satisfaction, emotions and moods, personality and values, perception and individual decision making, and motivation from concepts to applications. The group and organizational levels cover foundations of group behavior, work teams, communication, leadership, power and politics, conflict and negotiation, organization structure, organizational culture, human resource policies, and organizational change and stress management. This study guide is built to match the textbook chapter for chapter, so you review in the same order your professor teaches and can connect the OB theories and models the course relies on. It is an independent, aligned study guide — not the textbook and not a copy of it — focused on the key concepts, theories, and applied reasoning so you can review high-yield material efficiently for exams.

Aligned with undergraduate and graduate organizational behavior courses, with practice that mirrors the theories, models, and applied questions tested on course midterms and finals.
