Misbehaviour at work has traditionally focused on work limitation, pilferage, absenteeism and sabotage. These remain important, but the organisational landscape is changing. From new forms of satirical humour and use of social media, workplace bullying and sexual misconduct, to managerial misbehaviour and its consequences, the second edition of Organisational Misbehaviour explores the latest forms of organisational subversion and offers fresh insights into the underlying dynamics of management and organisational processes.

Drawing from contemporary research, this authoritative text is suitable for anyone interested in the study of management, work and organisations.

"Over the past 23 years, the first edition of Organisational Misbehaviour has become a classic in the sociology of work. In updating their arguments to reflect cutting-edge academic developments and empirical debates, and by making significant new conceptual arguments, this second edition ensures that Organisational Misbehaviour will remain essential reading for the next 23 years." - Work Employment and Society

"I like this book a lot. It is well written, well produced and has some new vibrant material within its pages...I recommend that readers of this journal read this book in its second iteration." - Action Learning

"Overall, the book is very good and has been worth the wait… (it) will remain extremely attractive for students, academics and organisation practitioners." - Review Organization

"The first edition of this book, published in 1999, received a wide welcome, including in this journal [Organisation Studies], and it has since then established an important position in the field, illustrated by, as the authors point out, over 1400 citations. [...]
The new (and much expanded, with around 100 more pages of text) edition retains these strengths and builds on them [...]
The book is, in short, a comprehensive and convincing account that offers the basis for further development." - Organisation Studies
