Academic Organizational Behavior (Scales, Antecedents and Outcomes)

Academic organizational behavior constitutes an interdisciplinary field of inquiry that examines the attitudes, perceptions, cognitive processes, and behaviors of individuals and groups within universities in their organizational context. Informed by psychology, sociology, social psychology, and management sciences, this field provides substantial theoretical and empirical contributions to understanding the functioning of higher education institutions. As a central component of the management and organization literature, academic organizational behavior plays a pivotal role in explicating the effectiveness, performance, and sustainability of universities. This book seeks to offer a comprehensive, literature-based reference for researchers, scholars, and graduate students by systematically addressing both foundational and contemporary theoretical approaches in the field of academic organizational behavior.
