Features: The fifth "" in the 9th edition is about self-reconstruction, reflecting the fundamental research I have been engaged in over the years. Chapter 9 separately discusses optimism, emotional intelligence, and self-efficacy as a standalone chapter. To my knowledge, hope, happiness/subjective well-being (SWB) have never been covered in any organizational behavior textbook. As I have been involved in advocating and initiating the positive psychology movement through Gallup, as well as conducting collaborative research on self-efficacy with Alex Stakovic at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I feel it is time to introduce these important concepts into the mainstream organizational behavior literature. Professor Fred Luthans' "Organizational Behavior" (9th Edition) is an outstanding MBA textbook that has, to date, provided the most detailed and comprehensive systematic presentation of organizational behavior, grounded in a robust theoretical foundation of organizational behavior theory, ranging from in-depth theoretical elaboration to insightful practical application. Particularly, unlike some previous textbooks that either delve excessively into theory or become overly commercialized, this textbook captures the development of organizational behavior theory, as well as the evolution and trends of business and organizational management practices. It combines both in-depth theoretical discussions and rich empirical data support, supplemented by practical cases and discussions as guidance for application, creating a monumental masterpiece in organizational behavior. This textbook is suitable for both students and scholars of management and management psychology, as well as for practitioners in the field of management.
