ABSTRACT

You are probably reading this book because you are taking a college course. One reason that many people attend college is to prepare for the workplace or for a specific profession. But consider this: Once a person begins their career, the workplace is where they will spend the greatest part of their waking hours until they retire. That being the case, wouldn’t it be good to understand how people behave at work, what explains their work performance, how they feel about it, and how it can affect their nonwork lives?
