The “Handbook of Organizational Performance: Foundations and Advances” is a contribution of many subject experts exploring the crucial, yet often overlooked, science of behavior in the realm of successful business operations. The combination of the selected articles provides a comprehensive and insightful guide I can use for educating my undergraduate and graduate students in organizational behavior management.

Formerly published in the Journal of Organizational Behavior Management, the contributions in this handbook could easily support two semesters of graduate study in OBM. Articles by some of the leading lights in the field comprise a remarkable and timely review of OBM practices and applications, including previews of future directions. From the origins of OBM to present best practices, it would be hard to imagine a more thorough coverage of OBM topics, including theoretical considerations, research, and field work. This two-volume set should be on the desks of anyone interested in OBM, from scholars to real-world practitioners.
