Organizational Misbehaviour

By Stephen Ackroyd and Paul Thompson

Book Overview

From soldiering′ and absenteeism to humour in organizations and the emergence politics of sexuality, this book explores the latest forms of organizational subversion and offers fresh insights of the underlying dynamics of management and organizational processes.

The book opens with a critique of orthodox organizational analysis and maps out the wide terrain across which organizational misbehaviour′ occurs. The authors go on to examine the interconnections between identity formation, the pursuit of autonomy and organizational misbehaviour, and explore how clearly the tendency to misbehave is deeply embedded in organizational life.
