For students, researchers, and scholars, Barling (organizational behavior and psychology, Queen's School of Business, Queen's U., Canada) and Cooper (organizational psychology and health, Lancaster U. Management School, UK) compile 36 articles by an international group of experienced and emerging scholars on the field of organizational behavior and its past and future trends. This volume, the first of two, focuses on micro approaches (the second covers macro approaches) and the following major topics: individual attachment to and disengagement from work; practices, processes, and performance; work, stress, and well-being; and societal aspects. Individual chapters address cultural issues, labor organizations, leadership, employee motivation, emotions at work, teams, and dysfunctional behavior, for instance.
