A core textbook in organizational behaviour that provides a critical, sociological/social science perspective that comprehensively covers all of the topics found on a typical OB syllabus.
How do we make workplaces more sustainable, given the present world challenges?
Balancing critical and management perspectives with the sociological and psychological aspects of organizational behaviour, this textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject and helps you think critically about the effects of human action on people at work.
This edition has reworked chapters and a strong focus on sustainability and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. It includes new coverage of the impact of artificial intelligence, work-life balance, hybrid and remote working, DEI initiatives and changes to organizations post-Covid. There are a variety of features to help you connect theory to practice, including The Reality of Work and Globalization and Organizational Behaviour. Globally-oriented, this 5th edition includes new cases and examples from around the world, and includes new chapter casestudies that are aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
It assumes no prior knowledge of the subject or previous work experience, and the content fits to the typical structure of Organizational Behaviour modules at undergraduate, postgraduate and MBA level.
This edition is supported by extensive online teaching and learning resources, freely available at bloomsbury.pub/organizational_behaviour_5e
Bratton has delivered another cutting-edge resource for scholars and students of organization and work. The distinctive critical approach is retained, giving students and educators a chance to engage with organizational life as it really is.

Bratton’s fifth edition places enduring organizational questions in the context of urgent contemporary change - e.g. AI, wars, democratic erosion, and climate breakdown. An excellent and timely resource for those seeking to understand organizational behaviour in the present era. Its strengths include intellectual depth, real-world relevance and diversity of ideas. By balancing critical and mainstream perspectives on organizations, leadership, and work, this textbook continues its strong appeal to my international students. * Sarita Koendjbiharie, Leiden University, the Netherlands *
This updated and extended version of an already outstanding textbook provides an in-depth interrogation of behaviour in our organisations. New and developed content around new challenges including AI, the changing geo-political environment, the new-normal workplace and the extension of dispersed and hybrid working. This is a definitive text, and a must use for students and scholars of Organisational Behaviour. * Alan Johnston, York St John University, UK *
This timely textbook offers a much-needed critical update to organizational behaviour for a world shaped by disruption and technological change. It combines intellectual rigour with a clear pedagogical commitment to helping students question taken-for-granted assumptions about power, efficiency, and organization. Its engagement with AI is especially valuable, inviting readers to ask how this socio-technical system shapes organizational behaviour and whose interests it serves. * Constantin Ciachir, Emlyon Business School, France *
