This series of articles has developed a number of views on organisation behaviour and how current knowledge on the subject can be used to improve training and development in industrial organisations.

Organisation behaviour as a subject is therefore about understanding, or attempting to understand, the complexity of the relationships that exist in the collectivity of people and things that we call ‘...

"The Covid-19 crisis has forced many employees to telework (TLW). TLW can eventually generate a feeling of professional isolation (PI) for some workers and the higher the TLW, the higher the feeling of PI (Golden, 2008). PI is known to have negative impacts on organisational and teleworker outcomes such as job satisfaction (e.g., Bentley et al., 2016) or the adoption of organisational citizenship behaviours (OCBs) (Mulki and Jaramillo, 2011). OCBs are largely influenced by the organisational psychological ownership (OPO) (Zhang et al., 2021) which also influences organisational identification ...

There is growing body of literature which offers reviews of the concepts of organised crime and political vio- lence, while documenting the official efforts to address such concepts jointly and treat them as a single issue. It would be intriguing to investigate how members of organised criminal groups and violent political groups re- spectively react to such official efforts. In my own memory, when the ‘mafiosi’ happened to share a prison in- stitution with members of the Red Brigades, they would steer away from those idealist Communists who got nothing out of killing. The former, when overcom...

Although the effects of pro-organizational motives on pro-organizational behaviors [i.e., unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB)] and their boundaries have been explored to some extent, extant studies are rather piecemeal and in need of synthesis and extension. Based on prior motivational research on pro-organizational behaviors, we developed a comprehensive contingent model in which moral identity and impression management motives would moderate the links between pro-organizational motives, UPB, and OCB. Adopting a time-lagged design, we coll...

We hypothesise the positive impact of the different types of inter-organisational citizenship behaviours on open innovation. We further argue that these associations are stronger when perceived organisational support is a...

The actual shape of organisations is very much an unintended affair, not a conscious design by any group of managers, of union representatives, or any other single group. We should try to imagine that organisations contain several major groupings, some of which are members of coalitions, and others who represent an opposition. All play their part — albeit unintended. Further, the organisation is shaped by both past decisions and by the images which people have of the future.
