The book is addressed to a wide readership. It is useful for the students of management, human resource management, organizational behaviour, and for those in the field of behavioural sciences. It is equally useful for management practitioners who want to enrich themselves on human behaviour to manage their workforce more effectively. Relevant case studies with each chapter as well as those at the end of the book refer to the organizational environment of both the USA and India.

Additionally, McGregors’ theories X and Y, have been added as part of motivation. New caselets have been given at the end of the book to give students a grasp of how theory works in real life.
