Kinicki, Organizational Behavior 3e develops students'
problem-solving skills through a unique, consistent, integrated
3-step Problem-Solving Approach that lets them immediately put
research-based knowledge into practice in their personal and
professional lives. Organizational Behavior 3e explicitly addresses
OB implications for students' core career readiness skills, showing
how OB provides them with the higher-level soft skills employers
seek, such as problem solving, critical thinking, leadership and
decision making. The understanding and application of OB theories
and concepts provides tremendous value to students' lives today and
throughout their careers.
Employability is attracting growing attention from researchers and
practitioners alike given the contemporary employment landscape -
one characterized by technological changes, ageing populations, and
competitive organizational environments. This interest is in part
motivated by the realisation that employability implies a win-win
situation as employable workers have stocks of knowledge, skills,
and abilities, and they are flexible and open to change. However,
the role of the employer and specifically their investments in
Human Resource Management policies and practices are largely absent
in the current employability discourse. Employability is usually
regarded as an individual asset in which employees carry almost all
responsibility for employability maintenance and development.
Remarkably little has been done to remedy the neglect of the
employer perspective and advance knowledge and practice. This book
brings together contributions from an international team of
renowned management scholars who explore how Human Resource
Management investments affect workers' employability. Drawing on
empirical evidence from all over the world, this book informs
researchers, practitioners, and students in the fields of business
and management, especially those with a particular interest in HRM
and organizational behaviour. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of The International
Journal of Human Resource Management.
