Core text
Bratton, J. (2015) Introduction to Work and Organizational Behaviour (3rd Edition)
Essential reading will be from this book for the majority of the topics we cover. Where the topics are not covered in this text, we will ensure that essential reading is digitised and put up on Moodle. The textbook has a student website which includes extra case studies, activities, glossary, self-test questions and web links. At the end of each chapter you’ll also find good suggestions for further reading.
