PREFACE

Welcome lo the eighth Canadian edition of Organizacional Behaviour. Since its arrival in Canada, Organizational Behaviour has enjoyed widespread acclaim across the country for its rich Canadian content and has quickly established iL~elf as the leading text in the field.

Organizational Behaviour, Eighth Canadian edition, is truly a Canadian product. Whi le it draws upon the strongest aspects of its American cousin, it expresses its own vision and voice. It provides the context for understanding organizational behaviour {OB) in the Canadian workplace and highlights the many Canadian contributions to the field. Indeed, it goes a step further than most OB texts prepared for the Canadian marketplace.

Specifically, il asks, in many instances:

• How does th is theory apply in the Canadian \vorkplace of today?

• What are the implications of the theory for managers and employees working in the twenty-first century?

• What are the implica tions of the theory for everyday life? OB, after all, is not something that applies only in the workplace.

This text is sensitive to important Canadian issues. Subject matter reflects the broad multicultural flavour of Canada and also highlights the ro les of women and visible minorities in the workplace. Examples reflect the broad range of organizations in Canada: large, small, public and private sector, unionized and non-unionized.

Organizational Behaviour continues lo be a vibrant and relevant text because it's a product of the Canadian classroom. It is used in Canada by the first author and her col- leagues. Thus, there is a •front-line" approach to considering revisions. We also solicit considerable feedback from OB instructors and studenL~ throughout the country. While we have kept the features of the previous edition that adopters continue lo say they like, there is also a grea t deal that is new.

Key Changes to the Eighth Canadian Edition The eighth edition was designed to evolve with today's students. There are more relevant examples, updated theory coverage, and a continued emphasis on providing the latest research findings. Based on reviews from numerous instructors and students across Canada, we have found that many potential users want chapters that have the right bal- ance of theory, research, and appl ication material, while being relevant lo student learning.

• NEW feature in every chapter' Career Objectives offers advice in a question- and-answer format to help students think through issues they may face in the workforce today.

• NEW Opening Vigneue in every chapter brings current business trends and events to the forefront.

• NEW key terms presented in bold throughout the text highlight new vocabu- lary pertinent lo today's s tudy of organizational behaviour.

• NEW photos and captions in every chapter link the chapter content to con- temporary real-life worldwide situations to enhance the student's understand- ing of hands-on application of concepts.
