The core of all successful organizations is the effectiveness with which people work together. Individuals have differing characteristics and personalities, and the manner in which they interact is the key to meeting organizational objectives. This is the case for all organizations, but particularly so in construction, which is distinctly different from other industries. Construction is complex and highly differentiated, with a wide range of specialists with disparate professional skills working in a highly integrated way to deliver projects successfully. Understanding how the people involved in construction behave and work together is necessary for projects to have successful outcomes.

Reviews for Organizational Behaviour in Construction
"The book would be appropriate for undergraduate and postgraduate students in construction as well as middle and senior management. While the author employs mainstream literature on organizational behavior, he effectively makes it relevant specifically to the construction industry." (Book News, 1 October 2011)
