This is the first comprehensive overview of the development of the
field of Organizational Behavior. It belongs on the shelf of every
scholar and student in the discipline. Part I covers the
foundations of the scientific method, theory development, and the
accrual of scientific knowledge in the field. Part II introduces
the ideas of pioneers whose work pre-dates the emergence of
Organizational Behavior. Part III considers the actual emergence of
OB as we know it today, with an analysis of the environmental
forces that impinged upon it (such as the recruiting of social
scientists into business schools). Part IV presents an assessment
of the current state of the art in OB research, with an original
assessment of the importance, validity, and practical usefulness of
73 core theories in OB. Finally, Part V sets forth a vision for the
future identity and growth of Organizational Behavior research,
theory, and practice.
This unique work bridges the gap between theory and practice in
organizational behavior. It provides a practical guide to real-life
applications of the 35 most significant theories in the field. The
author describes each theory, and then analyzes its usefulness and
importance to the successful practice of management. His analysis
covers key managerial topics such as goal setting, training and
development, assessment, job enrichment, influence processes,
decision-making, group processes, organizational development,
organizational structuring, and effective organizational operation.
This comprehensive text provides a detailed review and analysis of
the building-block theories in Organizational Behavior. Expanding
on his previous work in the field, John Miner has identified the
key theories that every student or scholar needs to understand to
be considered literate in the discipline. Organizational Behavior:
Essential Theories of Motivation and Leadership analyzes the work
of leading theorists. Each chapter includes the background of the
theorist represented, the context in which the theory arose, the
initial and subsequent theoretical statements, research on the
theory by the theory's author and others (including meta-analysis
and reviews), and practical applications. Special features
including boxed summaries of each theory at the beginning of each
chapter, two introductory chapters on the scientific method and the
development of knowledge, and detailed and comprehensive
references, help make this text especially useful for graduate
courses in Organizational Behavior and Industrial/Organizational
Psychology.
Description about the book: This comprehensive text provides a
detailed review and analysis of the building-block theories in the
macro-organizational behavior field. John Miner has identified the
key theories that any student or scholar needs to understand to be
considered literate in the discipline. Each chapter includes the
background of the theorist represented, the context in which the
theory arose, the initial and subsequent theoretical statements,
research on the theory by the theory's author and others (including
meta-analysis and reviews), and practical applications. Special
features, including boxed summaries of each theory at the beginning
of each chapter; two introductory chapters on the scientific method
and the development of knowledge; and detailed, comprehensive
references, help make this text especially useful for every student
and scholar in the field.
Role Motivation Theories is concerned with four types of
organisations and what makes them work. The four are not exhaustive
of all possible organisational types but they do represent the
major forms found in the world today. If we wish to understand
organisational functioning in modern society then we need to have
substantial insight into these four types of organisations. Drawing
upon many years of research, John B. Miner argues that the
organisational effectiveness required to produce high levels of
productivity results from achieving a state of integration between
the type of organizatonal system and the kind of people who fill
the key positions in the system. Role Motivation Theores is the
most comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of this work available.

This volume makes available in one place the large body of research
that has been developed over the years on role motivation theory.
Author Jack Miner has always been concerned with unconscious
factors in human experience, and this work is designed to give
proper emphasis to their role in organizational behavior. Part I
reviews the current status of projective techniques and the recent
work that has been done on unconscious motivation. Part II covers
Miner's significant research in the field, from his early work at
the Atlantic Refining Company to his career-long leadership studies
of Princeton University graduates. The chapters in Part III involve
psychometric data analysis, meta-analysis, and factor analysis.
