This milestone Handbook brings together an impressive collection of international contributions on macro research in Organizational Behavior. Focusing on core micro Organizational Behavior issues, chapters cover key themes such as individual and group behavior.

The Sage Handbook of Organizational Behavior Volumes II provides students and scholars with an insightful and wide reaching survey of the current state of the field and is an indespensible road map to the subject area.
