Good morning.
I am hoping that you might be able to make some suggestions for me.
I wanted to ask members of the OB listserv a question. What books do
you wish you had read or thought would be valuable and/or helpful for
your students to read prior to starting Doctoral studies in
Organizational Behavior?
Here is the reason why I am asking. I am a newly admitted Ph.D.
student in Organizational Behavior. I will begin my studies in the
fall of 2010. I have been out of school for quite some time and have
been assembling a list of pre-reading material. I plan to use the
next few months to get up to speed on the field as well as social
science research methods.
Please email your suggestions / comments directly to:
malonson.bernie@gmail.com
I am particularly interested in recommendations for good pre-reading
material on:
a) Qualitative Research Methodology
b) Industrial and Organizational Psychology.
I would appreciate your comments/feedback on the Organizational
Behavior, Empirical Research Methods, Human Resource Management and
Math books which I have listed below.
Thank you,
Bernie Malonson
