Management and Organisational Behaviour 13th edition, by Mullins and Rees, provides an in-depth study guide that helps you understand the relationship between people and professional organisations, shedding new light on the understanding, prediction, and control of human behaviour at work. This widely popular text examines the environments of the individual, the group, workplace, and organisational structure, explaining organisational behaviour by applying theoretical frameworks to practice and developing critical thinking.

This new edition addresses recent contextual issues, such as the impact of Covid-19 on the workplace. It also offers greater international perspective on organisational behaviour, with the addition of several case studies from around the world and related video cases by expert speakers. Featuring conceptual mind maps of complex topics to aid your understanding and revision, its ‘personal skills’ and ’employability’ sections help you develop your social and work-based skills in preparation for life beyond the classroom.

This comprehensive textbook is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate study, as well as for professionals training for management roles.
