About this title

Review:

“Excellent in scope, approach and appeal.” (Nevin Smith 2011-11-02)

“This book is so practical and easy to understand. I have used this book for 4 years. I have changed books in other courses, but this one has worked so well I have not changed.” (Anne Swafford 2011-11-02)

“Based on over 34 years in the public sector, I find the text has presented the challenges in dealing with human behavior in a very valid and useful manner.” (Larry Bustetter 2011-11-02)

“The single most impressive aspect of this book is its focus on organizational behavior within the public and nonprofit sectors. Most organizational textbooks focus on the private for profit sector with an occasional reference to the public sector. This textbook makes the subject more relevant to the public administration or nonprofit management student.” (John J. Donohue 2011-11-02)

“I like the book’s action science approach to the topic. I teach experientially. I link this to organization learning models. So this book is a perfect format for me.” (Nancy Adams 2011-11-02)
