Overview

Organizational Behavior in Practice is an interactive digital textbook that helps students connect organizational behavior concepts to real workplace situations. Rather than presenting organizational behavior as a set of theories to memorize, the text guides students through learning activities, knowledge checks, self-assessments, and applied management challenges that ask them to use course concepts to analyze problems, make decisions, and reflect on their growth.

Organized around 12 topics, the publication helps students explore how people behave in organizations and how managers can support effective performance, teamwork, communication, motivation, leadership, conflict resolution, and change. Throughout the text, students practice applying theories and concepts to realistic managerial situations, both individually and in teams.

Designed for flexible use across delivery modalities, Organizational Behavior in Practice supports instructors who want students to move beyond reading about abstract theories to actively practicing the communication, teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills that effective employees, managers, and leaders need.
