Organizational Science and New Perspectives

Organizational science profits from taking new perspectives using a simple model to understand why behaviors of particular types occur within them. This volume provides readers with a rich source of casestudies and empirical studies of the role played by the interaction between individual actors, organizational contexts, and the actual behaviors being performed by the actors.

Interaction and Organizational Practices

These chapters each seek to describe how these three interact in order to create organizational practices with negative effects on either internal members of the organization or external stakeholders (e.g., clients). The chapters provide insight into how organizations may control these negative behaviors with basic Human Resource Management practices.

Goals and Insights

It is this volume's hope that these chapters may provide insight into the important role these three factors play in understanding negative organizational behavior within organizations across the world.
