Organizational Psychology and Organizational Behavior is a major revision of the well-regarded textbook, whose previous title was Organizational Psychology: A Scientist-Practitioner Approach. This new edition offers a comprehensive overview organizational science, drawing insights from the closely aligned fields of organizational psychology and organizational behavior. Appropriate as a textbook for introductory courses in either field, this engaging and readable book encourages students to think actively about the material, providing numerous features to connect concepts to real-world people, situations, and challenges.

In this Fourth Edition, the authors introduce coverage of diversity and inclusion, as well as climate change and environmental sustainability. They have also streamlined the text, moving detail into appendices where appropriate, to further promote student engagement. Organizational Psychology and Organizational Behavior also covers:
