"Organizational Behavior: Real Research for Public and Nonprofit Managers addresses the practical problems managers face in doing their day-to-day organizational work in a variety of public and nonprofit organizations. It looks to systematic research on organizations, seeking to discover which actions and practices actually do and do not work. Unlike other textbooks, Organizational Behavior: Real Research for Public and Nonprofit Managers actually translates this scholarly research for those managers seeking to understand and successfully manage their public or nonprofit organization and provides useful guidance, cases, and tools for making sense of working in the public service."--Back cover
