Abstract

The book "Topics in Advanced Organizational Behavior Management" is authored by Dr. Gholamreza Malekzadeh, a respected member of the Faculty of Management, Faculty of Administrative and Economic Sciences, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. This book, which is the second edition was printed and bound by Esfand Publishing House and Printing Affairs of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. This book is arranged into eleven chapters and it is a good example of how the central features of organizational research are affected by changes in the structures and features of contemporary organizations and what kind of dynamics and features are emerging in the new research fields are also explained. Considering the importance of case studies for a better understanding of course materials, it is necessary to address this topic. The purpose of this article is to review and criticize the book on advanced organizational behavior management. The method of evaluating and criticizing this work is documentary-analytical and in accordance with the proposed model of the Council for the Review of Texts and Books of Human Sciences in the framework of the general introduction, examining the form and content of the work. The most important part of the review of any book is its content evaluation. From this point of view, examining the strengths of this book, it is possible to mention that the learning objectives provide a summary and questions for self-examination at the beginning and end of the chapters, use the model in practice, and analyze the topics of organizational behavior management. Presenting related materials and practical questions in line with discussion and consensus in the class, closing the gaps in the discussed theoretical topics by referring to the real events in the environment of organizations, and using logical order in the order of placement of the researched items are all among the positive points of the book. Pointing out the weaknesses, the non-compliance and coverage of the presented headings with the headings approved by the Ministry of Science, neglecting the use of the list of figures, diagrams, and tables, the lack of a list of terms and keywords (glossary), the non-use of up-to-date Persian and Latin sources and the lack of mentioning some of the sources inside the text in the list of sources can be enumerated. In the end, it can be said that by adding new topics and new sources, fixing editing and writing points, and mentioning the excavations of Iranian organizations, we can add value to the richness of this book.
