Organisations are essentially social entities whose effectiveness
depends on the contribution and affective commitment of people.
Successful organisations do not develop by chance, but are rather
the result of carefully planned interventions into their structure,
leadership and management orientations, culture, processes and
behaviours. Organisational behaviour: a contemporary South African
perspective provides a solid and scientific foundation for
understanding, predicting, evaluating and managing individual and
group behaviour in organisations. Organisational behaviour explores
the expectations that organisations and employees have of each
other. It addresses contemporary issues related to business ethics,
systems psychodynamics, engagement, performance excellence,
changing communication technology, transformational and authentic
leadership, diversity and globalisation. It contains encounters,
discussion questions, practical exercises and case studies to
stimulate self-study, debate and reflective thinking. Updated
lecturer support material is also available. Organisational
behaviour is aimed at aspiring as well as established managers and
business owners, irrespective of their field.
How does psychological theory help you to understand, shape and
influence work behaviour and relationships? How does workplace
learning take place? How do you assess workplace values and
attitudes? Introduction to Work Psychology 3e features the
practical application of theory using relevant workplace examples.
The textbook examines industrial and organisational psychology
within the context of the South African business environment. Its
strength lies in a sound balance between the discussion of
psychology, industrial psychology and human resource management.
The content is written in an accessible, academic style, with a
focus on African perspectives, examples and indigenous knowledge
systems. Each chapter includes learning objectives; boxed features
that illustrate the theory within each chapter; self-assessment
tasks for students to measure their progress, and a summary and
reflection section that highlights the implications of the theory
in practice. Introduction to Work Psychology 3e is suitable for
first-year students of industrial psychology at universities, and
first-year students of personnel management at universities of
technology. The textbook is also very accessible and suitable for
service courses, for example nursing.
This volume critically discusses the role empathy plays in
different processes of understanding. More precisely, it clarifies
empathyâs role in interpersonal understanding and appreciating
works of literature and art.
This book overviews auditory development in nonhuman species and
proposes a common time frame for human and nonhuman auditory
development. It attempts to explain the mechanisms accounting for
age-related change in several domains of auditory processing.

Published in 1925, this introduction provides an accessible account
of language families in Africa. Covering the five families of
African languages: the Sudan family, the Bantu family, the Hamitic
family, the Bushman family and the Semitic family, it provides a
detailed study of the languages, phonetics and linguistic content.
The book will be of use to anyone interested in the history and
development of human speech.

Bis zum Beginn des Weltkrieges befassten sich die Wissenschaftler
in England, die sich der Entwicklung der Verbrennungsmotoren ge
widmet hatten, mit Forschungen und Versuchen an verhaltnismassig
schweren, langsamlaufenden ortfesten Maschinen, einer Maschinenart,
die, wie man heute erkennt, nur beschrankte Aussichten hat, weil
sie fur wirklich grosse Leistungen kaum mit der neuzeitlichen Dampf
turbine in Wettbewerb treten kann, wahrend im Bereich geringerer
Leistungen ihr Arbeitsfeld taglich durch die fortschreitende
Ausbreitung der Elektrizitat eingeengt wird. Kurze Zeit nach dem
Beginn der Feindseligkeiten konnte man aber erkennen, dass der
leichte fahrbare Schnellaufer-Verbrennungsmotor in der Anwendung
fur Landverkehr, Luftfahrt und spater fur Tanks dazu bestimmt war,
eine sehr wichtige, wenn nicht gar entscheidende Rolle bei der
Fuhrung des Krieges zu spielen. Man bemuhte sich daher damals, alle
wissenschaftlich Begabten, die verfugbar waren, fur die weitere
Entwicklung der schnellaufenden Verbrennungsmaschine ein zusetzen.
Unabhangige Wissenschaftler und Forscher und staatliche Institute,
wie das Royal Aircraft Etablishment und das National Physical
Laboratory wurden ersucht, ihr Augenmerk auf dieses Gebiet zu
richten. Ihren Arbeiten wurde freigebig jede Erleichterung gewahrt;
man forderte sie auf, mit den Fabrikanten zusammenzuarbeiten, alle
einschlagigen mechanischen und thermodynamischen Fragen sorgfaltig
theoretisch zu bearbeiten und Vorschlage zu machen, wie und nach
welcher Richtung hin der Gesamtwirkungsgrad der leichten Kraft
maschinen erhalten und verbessert werden konne."

The present dissertation aims at contributing to our understanding
of the processes that determine epiphyte diversity in anthropogenic
landscapes. At a dry forest site, epiphytic bryophytes responded
sensitively to human disturbance, but vascular epiphytes did not.
At a moist forest site, vascular epiphyte assemblages on isolated
remnant trees were impoverished markedly and strongly biased to
xerotolerant taxa. Field-experimental work at this site could show
that this was related to 1) strongly increased mortality of
established plants on isolated remnant trees following their
isolation in clear-cuts, and 2) reduced and compositionally biased
establishment on isolated trees. Evidence is presented to suggest
that growth conditions (especially microclimate) are a more
decisive predictor of epiphyte communities in disturbed habitats at
these sites than dispersal constraints. The response of epiphyte
communities to disturbance may further vary with mesoclimate.
This book is a facsimile reprint and may contain imperfections such
as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages.
