Organisational Behaviour for Social Work

Based on a series of in-depth case studies, Organisational Behaviour for Social Work brings the well-established study of behavior in organizations to bear on the special, and sometimes unusual, organizational settings of social work. Fleshing out traditional organization theories, Gavin Bissell explores power dynamics, gender issues, and inequality within social work organizations as well as the consequences of recent organizational changes for social work practice. Ideal for students, this edifying book offers an invaluable holistic view of how social care organizations function.
