The Robbins Brand-Getting More than Just a Name. If you want an MP3 player, you buy an iPod. If you want a pair of sneakers, you buy Nike. If you want an organizational behavior textbook you adopt the latest from Robbins–the best-selling author of management and organizational behavior texts. There’s a reason why Robbins textbooks have educated millions of students and have been translated into twenty languages–and it’s because of a commitment that provides the kind of engaging, cutting-edge material that helps students understand and connect with Organizational Behavior.
Helping Students Assess Their Knowledge, Beliefs, Feelings, and Actions: The Self-Assessment Library (S.A.L). One of the hallmarks of the Robbins franchise is S.A.L–a learning tool that offers students a unique experience by allowing them to assess their knowledge, beliefs, feelings, and actions in regard to a wide range of personal skills, abilities, and interests. Self-Assessments have been integrated into each chapter, and also included in mymanagementlab. S.A.L. helps students better understand their interpersonal and behavioral skills as they relate to the theoretical concepts presented in each chapter. Highlights include:
- Sixty-eight Research-based Self-Assessments. This entire collection of sixty-eight self-assessments are from sources such asJournal of Social Behavior and Personality, Harvard Business Review, Organizational Behavior: Experiences and Cases, Journal of Experimental Education, Journal of Applied Measurement, and more.
- Work—life and career focused.
- All self-assessments are focused to help individuals better manage their work lives or careers. Organized in four parts, these instruments offer you one source from which to learn more about yourself.
- Choice of Formats. The Prentice Hall Self-Assessment Library is available in either CD-ROM, online, or print format.
- Save Feature. Students can take the self-assessments an unlimited number of times, and save and print their scores for class discussion.
- Scoring Key. The key to the self-assessments has been edited by Stephen P. Robbins to allow students to quickly make sense of their results.
- Instructor’s Manual. An Instructor’s Manual guides instructors in interpreting self-assessments and helps facilitate better classroom discussion.
