,Chapter 1: What Is Organizational Behaviour?

, NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR

My name is Ian Gellatly, and I’m the author responsible for the 5th Canadian edition of
Colquitt-LePine-Wesson-Gellatly textbook, Organizational Behaviour. I want to encourage
Canadian adopters to reach out to me if I can help in any way with the book. I’m also happy to
share the PowerPoints I use in my own teaching, that go along with the 5th Canadian edition of
our book. The PowerPoints also include my own teaching notes. In sum, I enjoy corresponding
with adopters very much, so please do not hesitate to reach out to me. My email address is
ian.gellatly@ualberta.ca.


CHAPTER OVERVIEW

Organizational behaviour is a field of study devoted to understanding and explaining the
attitudes and behaviours of individuals and groups in organizations. The two primary outcomes
of organizational behaviour are job performance and organizational commitment. This chapter
explores the factors that affect these outcomes, and shows how scientific studies provide
evidence that good organizational behaviour policies are linked to employee productivity, firm
profitability, and even firm survival. This chapter also shows how we “know what we know”
about organizational behaviour by describing the scientific research process.
