People at Work: Human Behavior in Organizations

PEOPLE AT WORK, 5e focuses on the many psychological and social pressures that people experience when they interact with each other in the workplace. By focusing on the reader, the authors show how human behaviors and relationships play an important part in daily life. For students to go beyond just reading the book, self-evaluative exercises and learning projects are included to further students' understanding of relationships and help them accomplish their goals in all types of organizations. Students are encouraged to complete the exercises and use the techniques as they interact with other people.
