The Blackwell Handbook of Principles of Organizational Behavior Reviews

I found this book unique for several reasons: Locke knows who the experts are in each area and has got them to write chapters in what they are passionate about. The handbook covers the mainstream topics in OB and HRM and truly does provide principles valuable for both executives and advanced students... Neal Mero, University of Mississippi
