Organizational Behaviour by Dr PK Ghosh And Partho Ghosh

The book Organizational Behaviour takes a significant departure from the burgeoning texts in the field of organizational behaviour. This book was conceived planned and began to be written long back with several factors and end-in-view. Its writing has also coincided with the emergence of a seemingly paradoxical phenomenon in thinking and application.

The book provides a deep understanding and appreciation of the role that organizational behaviour does and can play in effective management at all levels-self, team, unit, organization and community. At this stage of development of the field of OB, we need a complete theoretical framework to structure our textbooks. Instead of chapters and topics and maybe using a inductive sequencing, there is now the opportunity to have sound conceptual framework to present our respectable body of knowledge.

Besides having the only comprehensive theoretical framework for an OB text, a second unique feature is one or more OB principles at the end of each chapter. The topics of optimism, hope, happiness, and well being. Resiliency, emotional intelligence and overall psychological capital have given in the chapters. Beside these truly significant unique features, strength has been it?s up to the date comprehensive coverage of key topics.

In recent years there is a growing awareness amongst educators in the professional field particularly in engineering and management of the need to offer courses on topics like OB, ethics etc.
