Organizational Behavior, Student Value Edition

by Stephen P. Robbins, Timothy A. Judge

Overview

NOTE: This edition features the same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf version. Student Value Editions also offer a great value; this format costs significantly less than a new textbook. Before purchasing, check with your instructor or review your course syllabus to ensure that you select the correct ISBN. For Student Value Editions that include MyLab™ or Mastering™, several versions may exist for each title — including customized versions for individual schools — and registrations are not transferable. In addition, you may need a Course ID, provided by your instructor, to register for and use MyLab or Mastering platforms.

For undergraduate and graduate courses in organizational behavior.

Help students apply OB concepts

The world’s most successful Organizational Behavior textbook provides the research you want, in the language your students understand. This text makes current, relevant research come alive for readers. The 18th Edition reflects the most recent research and business events within the field of organizational behavior, while maintaining its hallmark features — a clear writing style, cutting-edge content, and intuitive pedagogy. There’s a reason why Robbins’s textbooks have educated millions of students and have been translated into 20 languages — and it’s because of a commitment to provide engaging, cutting-edge material that helps students understand and connect with organizational behavior.

Also available with MyLab Management

By combining trusted authors’ content with digital tools and a flexible platform, MyLab personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student.

NOTE: You are purchasing a standalone product; MyLab™ Management does not come packaged with this content.

Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.
