Fiona Wilson provides an accessible, critical introduction to organizational behaviour. This engagingly written textbook introduces students to key topics, ideas, and research in organizational behavior. Without assuming prior knowledge of the subject, the student is nevertheless encouraged to critically assess and question the traditional approach to the study of organizational life. The text introduces students to both traditional and non-traditional areas of research, acting as a springboard for further research and critical thinking. The range of themes and topics explored provides a rich picture of the realities of organizational life, and of the varied contributions that make up the study of organizational behavior. For example, the concept of alienation is discussed in relation to both assembly lines and to call centres, leading into a discussion about the meaning of work.The new edition takes the reader from critical perspectives on classic organizational topics--including new chapters on Personality and Perception--to the core of the critical approaches, including power, resistance, and alternative forms of organization. The Introduction also provides more detail on the different implications of taking a functionalist or critical approach to the study of organizational behavior--a theme which runs throughought the book.The third edition also includes enhanced pedagogy, ensuring that the book is highly accessible. Questions, further reading suggestions, and annotated examples of films and novels that illustrate themes and topics from each chapter, help students to interact with the text, and support instructors to prepare. "Stop and Think" boxes encourage students to engage with and reflect on the text by drawing on their own experiences and perspectives, and numerous and varied examples and cases, drawn from both research and organizational life, bring the text to life and add depth.

"In this long-awaited and masterful debut, Fiona Wilson gives us astonishing and uncommon poems that may have emerged from the Scottish and American traditions but can be found somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic, while her readers come 'to the edge of a question' by either shore. Wilson's formal brilliance is all worked through with chagrin, wit, and modesty. The mind at play in these poems is thrilled, distracted, enchanted by the feeling of words in the mouth--the mustardy 'sonsy,' the gray wet velvet of 'mizzle,' the scandal of 'cramasie'--and by slips and turns of phrase, which she turns over like stones, like coins, as they become talismanic--to console, perhaps, as if the secret to transformation were to be found in language itself."--Saskia Hamilton
