• How to Prepare for the Course

The concept of organizational behavior is an interesting one. It brings together ideas and practices developed in a diverse group of disciplines to better understand people's behaviors in the organizational context. Organizations usually have goals to produce their desired output in the most effective and efficient manner. Optimizing these factors creates an organization with the highest level of productivity and success.

The human factor in this productivity equation has been of interest to management studies since the early days of Frederick Taylor, Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, Henry Gantt, and others and their applications and derivatives of Scientific Management. Henri Fayol included concepts of directing and controlling in his functions of management, which have been the basis for management theories and research for almost a century.

People are the organization. Without people, the organization cannot survive and be productive.Therefore, preparing this course for introducing concepts and developing skills and talents in students is essential to their success in managing organizations of any type. For that reason, this book and instructor’s manual provide you with a myriad of support material such as cases, discussion topics, ways managers aremoving toward making a better world, ethicalconcerns, experiential exercises, and other components. You can use them to enliven the course content for your students to make skill development a fun, exciting, and challenging experience. All it takes is time for preparation.

II. Who Is Your Audience?

Depending on your institution’s curriculum requirements for business/management, you could have a combination of juniors and seniors in your classes, some traditional college student age and some non-traditional students. Regardless of age or academic year/status, what is typical of the first-time student in an organizational behavior class is a feeling that many of the topics, such as communication or leadership, are natural things that people do automatically. Students have little realization that they can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of such topics by understanding them as they have been researched and variables of influence have been isolated.This uninformed perspective provides an exciting platform for discovery and inspiration for you 2 / 4

By the end of the course, your students should recognize how incredibly challenging it is for companies to successfully manage the people in their organizations and, more importantly, how they can be successful in their careers.

III. New Features of the Textbook Key changes to the nineteenthedition are listed in the preface of the textbook.NOTE: In some instances, students may ask you if they can use a previous edition of the text since they can find it online at reduced prices. This is not a good idea. Success in organizations is people and management-driven, but organizations exist within the continually evolving societal context.Major societal changes (e.g., the rise of the gig economy, working from home, advances in gender identity acceptance and awareness, more extreme weather, intensive parenting, the continued increase in mental illness among young adults, binge-watching television and streaming entertainment, more smartphones and no more landlines, increased focus on workplace diversity and inclusion, increased time spent on social media and the decline of the newspaper), in the last 10 years, have dramatically changed the ways people live and work 1 .These changesrequire workers and managers to be armed with the most up-to-date information on individual, group, and organizational behavior. Students using previous editions of the text would be at severe disadvantages, particularly when it comes toparticipating in assignments and discussions taken from the end of each chapter material and instruction manual. More importantly, these students would miss coverage of contemporary topics and research concerning today’s workers and managers.

IV. Learning Resources
